ROUND 1
De La Hoya dictates the tempo in Round 1, but Mayweather connects on the cleaner shots. SI CARD: 10-9 Mayweather

ROUND 2
Big second round for De La Hoya. I don't know what the strategy is in Mayweather's corner, but allowing Floyd to be pushed against the ropes shouldn't be it. Mayweather looks a little tight. SI CARD: 10-9 De La Hoya

ROUND 3
Oscar seemingly can control the tempo of this fight. De La Hoya was excellent with the jab and landed a couple of potent power punched. SI CARD: 10-9 De La Hoya

ROUND 4
Tremendous defense by De La Hoya. Floyd's jabs are getting nowhere near Oscar's head and De La Hoya's counterpunches are finding their mark. Right now, De La Hoya is the more active fighter. SI CARD: 10-9 De La Hoya

ROUND 5
A near-knockdown of De La Hoya by a terrific short right hand by Mayweather has hurt De La Hoya. Another late right nearly sends De La Hoya to the canvas. Big round for Mayweather, De La Hoya may still be hurt. SI CARD: 10-9 Mayweather

ROUND 6
A few flurries by De La Hoya, who still looks stunned from Mayweather's assault last round. But his hands are lower than they were in the first round and Mayweather is picking him apart from the outside. Edge on big shots to Oscar. Round to Mayweather. SI CARD: 10-9 Mayweather

eekks im not sure if what im watching is live though hahaha

ROUND 7
Oscar needs to throw the jab more. Floyd laughs every time it connects, but De La Hoya's stinging jabs are keeping Mayweather at bay. Eventually, it will lead to a bigger punch. SI CARD: 10-9 De La Hoya

It's tied up after 8 rounds !

ROUND 8
De La Hoya's jab is clearly the most effective punch of the night. De La Hoya, however, appears to be tiring. His hands are down, and he is throwing the jab with less frequency. A late flurry by De La Hoya isn't enough. SI CARD: 10-9 Mayweather

ROUND 9
Oscar is tired. Mayweather pot-shotted De La Hoya several times and his confidence is rising. Unlike De La Hoya's hands. SI CARD: 10-9 Mayweather

BBC has it 5-2 De La Hoya with two rounds even...

Split decision Mayweather... :Oh crap

ADG Webmaster

a wins a win.

so mayweather won?fucking cable that i have:(

Boxing is dead. that was the most boring boxing match I've ever watched.

Couple that with Lampley's lame ass shot towards Mixed Martial Arts, and you know they are all threatened by it.

RIP Boxing.

I have to watch the fights with the volume off because of him.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

RIP Boxing .... Hello UFC

There's more action and less bullshit judging.

It was a great fight just wish Oscar could have pulled out the decision...

yawn :pimp

De La Hoya lost.. well I think he still won.. I am guessing a cool 80 million bucks.. With the cable rights and stuff.

wtf................

I love how Larry Merchant came right out and said both of the final two fights on the card basically sucked and didn't live up to the hype.

:1orglaugh

You could hear that Lampley was getting mad at him.

that was awesome

isn't that larrys last (or nearly) last fight now

I agree completly. That fight sucked and it almost looked like they faked most of it so it would go the distance and still seem like a close fight. It seemed like every announcer and athlete talking at the BOXING event was talking about MMA. LOL. Boxing is doomed. I am still laughing about mayweather interview before the fight where he said that MMA fighters couldnt cut it in Boxing so they tattoo their heads, pierce their ears and run to UFC. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast Delahoya had the brains to admit MMA was doing things right. All I got to say is they can keep the sound effect punches from the contender reality show and give me the real thumping of hands in The Ultimate Fighter show.

I always find the scorecards of boxing funny. Why bother with 10-9? Why not make it 1000-900 or whatever. Unless specific points are taken off for a foul, the score is rarely anything other than 10-9, even if one guy is beating the living snot out of the other guy.

Why not just 1-0?

wow, looks like I missed a great fight again
