Oscar De La Hoya - crybaby or justified?
#6
Well, I finally got to watch this fight and even though I do believe De La Hoya won, any investigation would be absurd.
The fight was clearly too close to call and it really could have gone either way. If it were a clear cut victory, then I'd say yeah he would be right to complain, but not in this case.

Another bout that happened Saturday night is another story. After they showed the replay of De La Hoya - Mosley, they had a fight between Chris Byrd and Fres Oquendo for one of the insignificant Heavyweight belts.
This time this Oquendo guy clearly did win the fight, but once again the "blind" judges ruled unanimously in favor of Byrd. Hell, one judge even scored it 117-111 which breaks down to 9 rounds to 3. That indicates a complete domination by one fighter over the other and it clearly was not the case here.

Something has got to be done real soon about the sport of boxing. It's already in a sad state and has been for a while, but if these questionable outcomes become more and more frequent, it may totally destroy this sport. Sad
