Rowand44 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'll go with the upset and pick Oscar. I'm definitely looking forward to this, I'll be going to BWW on Saturday to watch it, even if it's by myself(none of my friends seem to like boxing).

I'm in the same boat as you, I gota find somewhere down here in Marco Island to watch it, but I'll probably be alone. I wish I was in Tally so I could just go to Bdubs.

SoxAce Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Who I want to see win (especially being another half latin myself on the day) De La Hoya. Who will probably win, Mayweather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Mayweather. However, I have no interest in this fight or boxing in general. Boxing has been getting worse and worse over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I got apathy. Apathy split-decision over indifference. Indifference gets screwed over by the judges...............but doesn't really get too upset about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine, but boxing, which was still in the foreground of American sporting attention even just a decade ago, has now completely fell of the map and gone to the sporting wayside--alongside tennis and (sadly) professional hockey. There was a time when my family and I never missed a PPV prizefight. It seemed like once a month there was an opportunity to all gather around the now-infamous Chicago cable "blackbox" and watch a PPV boxing match for free. Now, complete indifference.

WHarris1 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Got my friend to buy it. Can't wait. Mayweather is gonna knock Oscar the f*** out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Should be Mayweather fairly easily. Oscar still is highly skilled, but Mayweather is a better Sugar Shane, and Oscar struggled with him. I love boxing, so I will be watching. It certainly isn't what it use to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Anybody from the Aurora/Naperville area have an idea if any bar is going to be showing the fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Finally found a place to watch the fight. I got Mayweather BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Interesting that this poll favors Mayweather by a lot...however, the ESPN.com poll right now has 137,278 votes and the voting is exactly 50/50. That's pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 If this were in his prime De La Hoya, i'd be a dead even, up for grabs fight. But it's not, so Mayweather will definitely win IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with you. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about how it seemed like every month or two there was a major title fight. Boxing was last at it's peak when Tyson unified the Heavyweight belt. No doubt Don King killed the sport. There should be 5 weight classes max and ONE title per class. I have no idea who the heavyweight champ is right now. I used to get so pumped up for a big fight. I guess the last time Tyson fought Lennox Lewis was the last big fight. The sport is dying or basically dead. Thanks Don King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The thing is, generally speaking, as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing in general. Whenever you see a resurgence in interest in boxing, there's usually a dominant heavy leading the way. The heavyweight division is worse than I can ever remember. There's NO ONE I'd shell out PPV money to watch. Give me UFC over boxing any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Heavyweight boxing to me has always been pretty boring to me. Most of the guys are slow and are stiffs. I think that's the reason why Tyson was so exciting to watch as well. He was a heavyweight who was pretty damn quick. I wish DLH was still in his prime though.
