Ok, I will report, still in preliminaries, and you want me to get Drunky town locked...that's what you said....

[olevetonahill]

You did that last night , you were acting like a kid with a mouthful of **** just waiting to say it .:D

[Soonerus]

I'll provide fight updates only...

[MiccoMacey]

My brother lives in NYC, which is an hour ahead of Central Time, and just told me De La Hoya knockd out Merriweather less than five minutes ago in the third round. They must get the news before us.

I'll be calling Vegas as soon as I get off-line.

[Soonerus]

Yeah right, I am watching live feed...they have yet to start...

[Soonerus]

The undercard just ended...

[SoonerStormchaser]

Thank God I didn't go to Vegas this weekend like I had originally planned to...between Cinco de Mayo, the horsie race and the *** kicking at the MGM Grand, I couldn't have survived!

[Soonerus]

no kidding ....

[Soonerus]

These guys seem to really dislike each other...subplot, Mayweather's Dad has been De La Hoya's trainer since 2000...

[Soonerus]

Oscar is bigger...

[SoonerStormchaser]

YOu actually paid $59 to watch that?

[Ardmore_Sooner]

How far along is the fight?

[Soonerus]

Yes, we are currently in the Mexican national anthem...gggeeeezzz...fight not started...

[SoonerStormchaser]

Yes, we are currently in the Mexican national anthem...

Oh....Meh...hico...our home and native land...we runnnnn away....to America cause it's sooooo grand....weeeee steal their jobs...and we dress like slobs...and we don't pay taxes at all...

[Soonerus]

Both fighters now in the ring for introductions...

[SoonerStormchaser]

***DING***

[Soonerus]

Undeafeated Mayweather introduced....

[Soonerus]

De La Hoya clearly crowd favorite....

[Soonerus]

1st round starts...

[SoonerGirl06]

1st round starts...

Update please.

I'm going for Mayweather.

[Soonerus]

pretty even first round....could go closely either way...

[Soonerus]

2nd round...

[Soonerus]

crowd chanting "Oscar"...

[SoonerGirl06]

pretty even first round....could go closely either way...

Any real good hits?

[SoonerGirl06]

crowd chanting "Oscar"...

That sucks!

[Soonerus]

Oscar wins second round on my card...

[Soonerus]

Oscar got best shots so far...

[Soonerus]

3rd round , Oscar scoring big...

[SoonerGirl06]

That's not good. Not good at all.

[Soonerus]

Oscar wins 3rd on my card...

[Soonerus]

4th round....

[SoonerGirl06]

You're not telling me what I want to hear. Isn't Mayweather doing ANYTHING?!?!?!

[GottaHavePride]

ESPN says mayweather took rounds 1 and 3, Oscar took #2, FYI.

[Soonerus]

I give the 4th to Oscar...

[SoonerGirl06]

ESPN says mayweather took rounds 1 and 3, Oscar took #2, FYI.

Finally some good news about Mayweather!

[SoonerGirl06]

I give the 4th to Oscar...

I'm beginning to think you've got money down on Oscar. ;)

[Soonerus]

ESPN says mayweather took rounds 1 and 3, Oscar took #2, FYI.

They are watching a different fight than I am...

[Soonerus]

5th round...

[GottaHavePride]

FWIW, ESPN has two different writers scoring the fight. The only round they've agreed on so far was #2 - both said that went to Oscar. The three other rounds have been split between them. Their unofficial scorecard, though, shows 1, 3, and 4 going to Mayweather.

[Soonerus]

5th round Mayweather slightly...

[Ardmore_Sooner]

ESPN gave Mayweather the 4th

[Soonerus]

6th round

[Soonerus]

Osacar wins the 6th...

[Soonerus]

7th round

[Ardmore_Sooner]

ESPN also gave Mayweather the 5th, all but one thus far.

[GottaHavePride]

Yeah, both writers agreed on 5 going to Mayweather.

[Soonerus]

7th even..compu-punch has Mayweather ahead....

[afs]

7th to Oscar

[Soonerus]

I disagee...it is Oscar or very close..8th round up....

[SoonerGirl06]

Okay... stupid question here. Is it 12 or 15 rounds? I can't remember.

[GottaHavePride]

12.

Oh, btw - both writers gave Mayweather the 6th. They split opinion on the 7th again.

[Soonerus]

Oscar clearly wins 8th...

[Soonerus]

9th round up...good fight...

[GottaHavePride]

FWIW, both writers gave Mayweather the 8th.

[Soonerus]

9th very even...

[Soonerus]

Listen this is close, I would pick Oscar....10th round...

[SoonerGirl06]

Oh good Heavens! The anticipation is killing me!

[Soonerus]

10th very even...

[olevetonahill]

So am I gonna win my bet ?

[GottaHavePride]

Heh. I'm just tossing out the alternate view - I'm not watching, but I'm reading the recaps on ESPN.com.

They give Mayweather round 9, too. That's 6 of the 9 rounds going to Mayweather at this point - unofficially.

[Soonerus]

11th round...

[GottaHavePride]

I should say, the unofficial scorecard gives Mayweather 9 and 10 - the writers both gave 9 to Oscar and haven't weighed in on 10 yet.

[afs]

after 10, i say Mayweather wins.

[Soonerus]

11th round close...Oscar probably needs a knock out...according to the talking heads...

[olevetonahill]

after 10, i say Mayweather wins.
So I may win my Vbookie bet ? for the 1st time in 3 weeks ?
:cool:

[Soonerus]

fight over, probably Mayweather...

[Soonerus]

good, not great fight.....

[afs]

nice little spout in the end probably not enough.

[Soonerus]

Decision to Mayweather....split decision

[olevetonahill]

So is Mayfly gonna win by a descision ? I think that was my bet :confused:

[SoonerGirl06]

fight over, probably Mayweather...

That would just be too cool... Mayweather beating De La Hoya on Cinco De Mayo!


I know, I'm bad.

[Soonerus]

Very, very close fight...

[GottaHavePride]

Split decision, Mayweather takes it.

From ESPN: By split decision (115-113, De La Hoya; 116-112, 115-113, Floyd Mayweather) "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather (38-0) becomes the new WBC junior middleweight champion.

[SoonerGirl06]

Another stupid question... Decision to Mayweather means he won, even though it was a split decision?

TIA

[Soonerus]

115-113 to Oscar, 115-113 to Mayweather, 116-112 to Mayweather....split decision...very close rounds...

[olevetonahill]

Another stupid question... Decision to Mayweather means he won, even though it was a split decision?

TIA
He said Mayfly Takes it so yes
Mayfly wins :cool:

[GottaHavePride]

Yes. 2 of the 3 judges gave the fight to Mayweather - he wins, but not unanimously.

[royalfan5]

Another stupid question... Decision to Mayweather means he won, even though it was a split decision?

TIA
Yes, majority rules. Hopefully Cotto destroys Judah in June, and we can get a Cotto/Mayweather fight early next year.

[usmc-sooner]

for as much **** as Mayweather talked he, he sure ran a lot. I thought Oscar did a good job.

not according to Steven A. "Groucho Marx" Smith, who i just saw on ESPN. he just compared FM to Marvin Hagler and did everything but choke the load for a fellow brother.

[SoonerGirl06]

Yes. 2 of the 3 judges gave the fight to Mayweather - he wins, but not unanimously.

A win is a win. I'm sure he'll take it.

[Soonerus]

It was like a close soccer game where either team cold have won...very close call...

[usmc-sooner]

what?

Floyd Mayweather's own corner kept telling him, that Oscar was getting points for coming forward while Mayweather was backing up.

I still think FM probably won but some of those rounds could have gone either way.

I watched the fight and agree totally with usmc-sooner....

i'm just making fun of Steven A. Smith being a total homer.

[olevetonahill]

I dont care who won the fight !
Did I win MY bet ?

[SoonerAcesUp]

Mayweather is one heck of a fighter but he wins by being a smart fighter. He always seems to do just enough to win and avoid getting in a brawl. He won't ever stand toe-to-toe with any good punchers. He is a "one punch and get out" kind of guy and that frustrates his opponents.

Saying all that, I wanted Oscar to put his *** on the canvas!!!! But Mayweather was too quick. I thought FM won the fight but I think people would much rather watch people like Oscar fight because it's much more exciting.
