Did The De La Hoya - Mayweather Fight Live Up To The Hype ?

[MOREBASS]

Since the other thread got hijacked...


I just wanted to know, if you guys felt like with all of the hype over the fight, and the actual fight over with.

Did it live up to the hype ? Would you pay to see a rematch ?

 

[Tony]

Yeah I would pay to see a rematch. I thought the fight lived up to the hype. I think in a rematch Oscar will get knocked out.

 

[The Visualizer]

Disappointed with both boxers. It got a lil exciting when de la hoya did those combo's but nothing like WOW!

Pay for a rematch? I just hop over to other people's houses

 

[PoLLo LoC831]

FUCK THAT FIGHT

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I'd pay for a rematch no doubt, although I don't think the fight lived up to the hype. They may have actually over-hyped this fight

 

[REdRUM]

Yes, it was overhyped, but if you knew what to expect, it shouldn't have been a surprise. Pay for a rematch...probably, although I wouldn't expect fireworks at that one, either.

 

[Likwid]

I think we were all expecting two prime fighters batteling it out like warriors. It was pretty damn boring. I wanted to see some clean power punches, some staggering, something but it fell short.

 

[|GOD|||ZILLA|]

should have went 18 rounds.

 

[imported_jay_jay]

I would have been so upset if I paid all the money to watch the fight LIVE... but either way they both got paid!! so they didnt give a fuck what happened...

 

[T-Rip]

FIGHT WAS GARBAGE AND FLOYD MIGHT HAVE WON BUT HE DIDNT DO ENOUGH TO TAKE A BELT FROM SOMEONE, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE CHAMP, THE CHAMP DOESNT HAVE TO BEAT YOU.

the majority of the U.S. thinks that fight was boring and not worth the money,the fight didnt do anything to bring in new boxing fans to the sport.and i agree with 'em,the fight was overhyped and kinda lame.

boring ass fight...i seen a better one at school the day before

 

[Anaheim*Rob]

It was exactly what I expected. I thought it was great chess match between the p4p number 1 fighter and a slightly over the hill elite champion. I was disappointed in Floyd's performance after all the shit talking leading up to the fight though. What happend to beating Oscar "brutally"? At the same time, I didn't expect him to do anything other than potshot from the outside and display his master defense. I enjoyed it, only because my expectation wasn't far off from what actually took place. They also should have thrown on an extra prefight or two considering the price tag.

What happened to De La Hoya saying that he was going to Win? Comments like these are so one sided and biased.. Floyd put on an excellent performance imo..

pinpoint accuracy

Jim Lampley: "Great left hook from De La Hoya!" <_<

pickin him apart and displaying defensive excellence at the same time

one of the many flurries that had the crowd in a frenzy -_-

damn near knocked that nigga out...but he doesn't have any power ^_^

Split decision?

Shit was a light workout

^Just embarrassing..

 

[Dugless206]

no it didnt live up to shit and i am not interested in a rematch. i thought it was weak as did most of the people ive talked to and where i watched it. okay maybe not weak, but it was just ok, not worth no bullshit 55 bucks to see one fight youre interested in

 

[Tony]

I thought it was a great fight... I got my money's worth. I enjoyed every moment especially seeing De La Hoya eat power punches. I thought it was well worth the 60 bucks I paid.

 

[JLMACN]

Mayweather fans arent even sure Mayweather won the fight.....

thats why we seen all this gifs in peoples sigs....cuase they want to reassure themselves he won.

All in all it was a very whack fight....I was rooting for DelaHoya, if he lost he lost but damn .....there was a reason this fight was a split decision. I just wish people would stomp carrying on like Mayweather really whooped Dela Hoya.....the fact is he didnt, he just dodged, and threw punches every now and then. He never pursued DLH, and was no where near the aggresser he assured everyone he was going to be.

If there was a rematch (which Im sure there will be)....I wouldnt pay for it. It will just another "lets get this shit over with"...type fight, just like this one was.

5000

I never said Mayweather whooped DLH. But I thought he clearly won the fight. I had him up by like 3-4 rounds. I was shocked that it was a split decision and so were all my comrades, most of whom were going for DLH.
