OK I didn't do enough homework, should of known Steve Forbes would not go down. That was really the only surprise last night. Oscar easily took care of business in his unanimous decision. I actually gave him every round 120-108 (one of the judges gave the same score as well). So is Oscar ready for the Mayweather rematch? Tough call on that one. First of all the first fight wasn't even that entertaining so Larry Lump Lump is not very pump pumped for the rematch. Oscar's jab did look pretty good, but the only way he is going to beat Floyd is if he keeps using it throughout the whole fight and not just the first 6-7 rounds. I still find it hard to believe De La Hoya is going to get two more fights in this year. Especially if he loses to Floyd, who does he fight next, and why??
Here is the rest of the weekend boxing results:
CARSON, Calif. (AP)—Oscar De La Hoya, Los Angeles, outpointed Steve Forbes, Las Vegas, 12, junior middleweights; Victor Ortiz, Oxnard, Calif., stopped Dairo Esalas, Comombia, 5, junior welterweights.
