[suckadickcheney]

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

i say they go 12 rounds de la hoya by unanimous decision

edit* the pot right now is 2000 points

[suckadickcheney]

haha. i say mayweather will get a TKO before he gets into the ring. de la hoya will faint! haha.

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

dont be so sure about that de la hoya has a killer left hook

[suckadickcheney]

oh, im pretty sure... haha. in your first post, you should make a list of whos' going for de la hoya and another list for mayweather and put the bets next to the users name.

[RedOrb_Collector]

[suckadickcheney]

How is the betting going to work...and the odds...

I will put a 100 on mayweather!

yeah, we're still working out the kinks on that. if you have an idea, please, do tell.


I would like to withdraw my bet...

why do you want to do that? afraid of losing 300 points? rofl. i placed 1000 points on this fight, for mayweather. i guess it's up to ImSiCkOfYou to retract the bid.

[Mallanaga]

[RedOrb_Collector]

I retracted my bid because like Cyrann said I'm not sure how this fully works.

[DC52NV]

i don't have enough points to make the minimum bet. :(

[jakncoke]

^^^
Post then doesnt take much to get a 100 .....

Mayweather 500

[Cyrann]

Ok so how is this going to work?

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

Ok so how is this going to work?

read the 1st post i updated it with the help of suckadickcheney

[Cyrann]

How can you be sure people will pay...that was my point...

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

How can you be sure people will pay...that was my point...

lol good point i guess people will send me their bet's and when the winner is annouced ill hand out the prize

[McLaren]

De La Hoya

Put me down for 100pts

[Cyrann]

Let me know, Id be happy to send you my points...

[Poetic]

PBF - 100 points... (Too Short)

[pctrips]

I want to bet in this, but this won't be fair unless everyone bets the same amount of points. My return on a 1000 point bet isn't as good as the guy that bets 100 on Mayweather. Meaning if Mayweather wins, why should the guy that risked 100 points get the same winnings as myself that risked 1000? It's not right...figure out how the winnings work fairly and I'll be in. Leave it like it is and I'm out or I'll just bet 100 maybe...actually make that 1 point. :)

[UnReaL]

who do you think will win?

ok this is how its going to work. the prize will be split between the people that picked the winner.
De La Hoya
ImSiCkOfYou - 1000 pts

suckadickcheney - 1000 pts

Cyrann - 100 pts-----------------------------PAID
Mallanaga - 700 pts
jaysonbay - 500 pts

so right now the prize is 4400

I would join, but the betting system has faults.

As of right now, there are 2 people who picked De La Hoya. So that means, if De La Hoya wins than the 4400 points are split between the two, each getting 2200 points each...which works.

Now the faulty Side:
There are 5 members that picked Mayweather. So if Mayweather wins, than each member gets 880 points each. Which means that suckadickcheaney and pctrips loses 120 points (Even if Mayweather wins), while the other 3 members gain points.

So, I suggest changing it.
Have each member put in a fixed amount of points. Whether its 100 a piece or 1000 a piece, it has to be the same amount put in for each player. That way, each player on the winner side will gain points.

I'll gladly join if you decide to change it.8)

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

sorry guys i dont think this is gonna work so everybody that sent me points i will give them back asap.

[Blu-Ray]

I got 100 on Mayweather....

[UnReaL]

sorry guys i dont think this is gonna work so everybody that sent me points i will give them back asap.

I can make it work, if you let me. Look at the NBA thread and the way its set up.8)

Or, I can help you out, and give you all the info. you need to make it work. Just PM if you still want to do it.

[Jubae]

Put me down for 300 Mayweather, he can be a big of a showoff most of the time but I think he has the slight edge in this one. Although I truly enjoy both of the warriors.

[iShotTheSheriff]

227 points all in on De La Hoya, they're both powerful, but mayweathers rash & Oscars smarter, only a few years older and this is HIS weight class, Decision De La Hoya

[suckadickcheney]

^ damn you!!! also, we don't know if the bets are on. i just read the thread.

[jakncoke]

Well its tied after 4 rounds , De La Hoya took the first 2 rounds then Mayweather took 3 and 4...how many actually bought the pay per view ? I was thinking about it but seeing I have no job and only about 50 bucks im either going to try and find 15 more for a ps3 game or just buy UFC 71 which is like 2 weeks away and Liddell is in it.
Oscar De La Hoya round 1 10-9
Oscar De La Hoya round 2 10-9
Mayweather took round 3 ...10-9
Mayeather took round 4 ... 10-9
Mayweather took round 5 ...10-9
Mayweather took round 6 ...10-9
Oscar De La Hoya Round 7... 10-9

[Blu-Ray]

The Fight is on NOW??? O crap.

[jakncoke]

Its in the 8th right now ...according to ESPN's unofficial scorecard Mayweather has a 2 pt lead.

[Blu-Ray]

Hell..yeah.... Mayweather lets ride man!

[jakncoke]

De la Hoya got 9 , I really want mayweather to knock him out because I hate judges to have decision because sometimes they really give to the wrong guy.

[Blu-Ray]

Unofficial scorecard Round 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total
De La Hoya 9 10 9 9 9 10 10 9 9 9
Mayweather 10 9 10 10 10 9 9 10 10 10

[dc writer]

Hey, is the fight still on?

[Blu-Ray]

I think it is. On TNT, Charles Barkley just said it was a draw or something like that.

[jakncoke]

Nope , Mayweather won though....

[Blu-Ray]

*mayweather For The Effin' Win*

Hell Yeah!

[sorrow880]

Mayweather won a controversial split decision...dang, darn close one.

[RedOrb_Collector]

So.....Mayweather actually won? lol. I'm glad I withdrew.

[DC52NV]

"To be the champ, you have to beat the champ"

mayweather did not beat the champ. even his own dad said so. this is why i have lost my love for boxing years ago. the judges are horrible and so was the ref on the first fight. there was NO standing 8 count in that fight but yet he gave one. the other guy had him finished but the ref stepped in. mayweather has no class at all. he pretty much spit in the face of all mexicans walking out to the ring the way he did. he certainly did not back up all the crap he was talking.

[iShotTheSheriff]

He didnt even try to fight, just sat back, took a few shots but no genuine counter punching and no attacking. Even when de la hoya was extremely tired in the 11th and 12th, that was bad but mayweather not taking that oppurtunity to even attempt to take him out was worse, decision went the wrong way

[pctrips]

I didn't see it, but from what I've read online it seemed like the right decision. The punch statistics favored Mayweather in shots landed, connect percentage, and power punches. Not sure how much controversy there really is with this fight. Regarding his dad, his dad is part of De La Hoya's team, not Mayweather's. His dad used to train De La Hoya I think.

fights are not decided on total punches landed, thrown, percentage, etc. they are judged on a scoring system. that i why floyd sr. said that on the scoring system de la hoya should have won. judges can not look at the punch stats when scoring a round. de la hoya chased and mayweather ran the entire fight. mayweather does not deserve to be champ. he does not have the killer instinct to finish the fight. he relies on his quickness to get a decision from the judges.

as for floyd sr. he is still a trainer at golden boy promotions. he just didn't train oscar for this fight. as the old saying goes "to be the champ, you have to beat the champ."

[RedOrb_Collector]

I can't believe I missed this fight....I wonder how long till its on Youtube.

[suckadickcheney]

yeah! what the **** did i say! mayweather. loved the fight. i love the last round more because at the last 20 seconds or so, they were like.. "**** it, lets do this ****" and started pounding on each other. both had a fury.

i actually bought pay per view for whoever asked that question. i also plan to get it to see UFC 71.

wait a minutes, doesn't boxing involve punching and quickness... ability to move around? if not... what the **** was mayweather doing?

[pctrips]

To be the champ you have to beat the champ? Well tell me who has beaten Mayweather? Last I checked he was 38-0....what about Oscar? Last I checked he's lost 3 out of his last 5 fights. And if you hit the guy more than he hits you, you're more accurate, and you land more power punches how does that not determine that you performed better in the fight?

Umm, that's boxing. Forget what Floyd St. says, he's Oscar's trainer for one, and he's bitter with his son. Call it damage control, he wants his job back.

I guess to some of you, stalking your opponent around the ring and not hitting them = winning, Mayweather dodged and rolled almost everything De La Hoya threw, meanwhile he picked him apart with nice jabs and lead rights. I think the crowd reactions swayed people's opinions too much. Mayweather fought the type of fight he fights, and outbox Oscar easily to win.

[Blu-Ray]

Hey! Where is my points? I picked Mayweather. :mad:

there was a flaw in the betting system and the handing out the points system. so ImSiCkOfYoU canceled all the bets but me and him still had our bets on. i won 1000 pts!

of course you'll love the last round because floyd finally had the balls to actually exchange with oscar. did you see their faces at the post fight press conference? floyd's right side of his face was swollen and oscar didn't even look like he fought the night before.

oscar was the champ going into the fight. floyd was fighting for oscar's belt. that is the reason why i said floyd had to beat oscar in order to take the belt. oscar has had his share of belts. last time i checked oscar was fighting fighters way out of his weight class and wasn't fighting cans like floyd has his entire career. honestly, who has floyd beaten that is worth mentioning. like i mentioned before punch stats mean squat when it comes to judging the fight. ask any real boxing fan and they will confirm. if that was the case then oscar should have won against felix trinidad.

trainer or not he's still his father. oscar and floyd sr didn't leave in good terms. floyd hugged oscar or ran the entire fight. he stuck him w/ a couple of good shots but nothing deadly. this isn't the first time vegas has robbed oscar on a decission. floyd finally fights a legitimate boxer for once in his life that is out of his prime and wins a contraversal split dec and wants to retire? wow. mosley called him out but floyd turned him down. finally big names want to fight him and he's hanging up the gloves.

[Poetic]

Oscar's had a couple bad decision go against him (this was not one of them...), but...he's also been given 3 gifts in my opinion. (Sturm, Sweet Pea, Quartey) In the end, it's all balanced out.

Bottom line to me, Oscar is a fighter who fought the absolute best in his time, but really never beat them.

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

so if any of you were judgeing this fight who would you give the fight to? the agressor thats trying to fight and win? or the guy thats running around the ring avoiding the fight, sneaking in a couple punches here and there, hoping that its enough to win? my choice is clear, but dont get me wrong mayweather is the best pound for pound fighter. but this was not his best fight

[RedOrb_Collector]

Floyd may have got in more punches, but few of them were as effective as Oscar's. A lot of their power just seemed absorbed by Oscar putting up his hands. Even in 10th and 11th round where Oscar was fatigued Floyd didn't do anything to look like he was in control. A few more shots yes, but Oscar deflected most of them. Floyd looked to have got the worst of it after it was done, damage wise.

[pctrips]

Standing toe to toe with a bigger man would have been stupid by Mayweather. He fought the right fight. Being quick and elusive and counterpunching was the right strategy. That's boxing fellas.

um.... no cuase i called the bet off cause it wasnt going to work out. didnt you recive your pionts back?

[Cyrann]

Yeah, i was just giving you a hard time...

[suckadickcheney]

f you guys. he fought smart. like pctrips, your not going to exchange punches with a guy that is heavier than you... you'll get knocked the **** out! he played it smart. admit it. you wouldn't go and fight somebody heavier than you head to head. he'll eat you and **** you out and then eat that **** that was you.

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

Yeah, i was just giving you a hard time...

lol.. oh ok i was just making sure didnt want u think that i stoled your points

[DC52NV]

floyd weighed in at 150 and 148 night of the fight. all he has is speed so no surprise that he didn't want to make the weigh in at 154. if he's the best pound for pound fighter in the world then why be scared and run when someone is stepping up to you. he signed the fight at 154 but since speed is all he had he just drank a lot of water before weigh ins so he can get close enough to fight. floyd is a boring fighter that loves going to decision whenever someone is a threat to him. mosley challenges him and floyd declines. go figure, a more talented fighter w/ speed steps up and floyd pulls the retired card. but yet if oscar wants a rematch, he would take it in a heartbeat. being quick and elusive does not win a fight when fighting for the belt in my book and in the book of many. floyd is a chump that even backed out on fighting sean sherk after all the BS floyd was talking about the UFC.

You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it -
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
