[Illchill]

I ain't watchin it, but it is interesting.It is to late, and I need to get some sleep.

[sniktawt]

I'll post the results.
I'll spoiler warn it so people who may be getting it from people on tape won't accidently read the results.

[sniktawt]

Undercard-

*Juan Lazcano defeated Stevie Johnston
*Miguel Cotto defeated Demetrio Ceballos in Round 7 by TKO

MAIN EVENT

*Shane Mosley Defeated Oscar De La Hoya by unnaminous Decision in 12 Rounds.

Oscar Clearly won the bout.
Great match though.

[sniktawt]

Good Bout, but a Bull**** judges Decision.

[Slipknot]

Yeah i heard theres a lot of contriversy in it.

[sniktawt]

Yeah, George Foremanwho commentated was quite pissed.He thought the judges were wrong.
I seen the fight I thought it was the wrong decision, But the guy i was for won so that's a good thing.

[Slipknot]

So i guess Oscar De La Hoya is to retire now eh... or was that just all bull****.

[sniktawt]

He said after the fight that he will announce it in a few days , I say he will for a bit , but he'll be back.He lost only 3 times in his career and twice was to Mosley.He'll want another rematch.

[Slipknot]

Yeah... this thing is still on over on ESPN... this has been on for a good couple hours now.

[sniktawt]

It makes boxing look bad when they screw over One of their top poster boys.
Unless it was for publicity, which like you said has been going on for hours.So it's getting a lot of coverage.
It's on TSN all night as well.

I missed the fight (had no intention of watching it) but you had to pay for it?? That's not right we can watch it for free over here, anyway who won the fight?

[sniktawt]

I posted the results above (about a minute after it happened btw)

Shane Mosley won a 12 round decision.He was losing by points the whole fight but somehow the judges seen differently.It was controversial to say the least.

Btw, unless you had an illegal satellite feed it wasn't free.It was a PPV fight.So I don't think it was free over there to homes.At bars/Pubs it probably was.Some bars /pubs over here were charging a 3 dollar cover charge to see it.

It was on Sky Sports 1 at midnight, they usually charge for huge fights like Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield but this was free to watch. It's the same with all the wrestling events, they always say that it's PPV but they be on for free here

I watched this fight, and I was super pissed off. It was such a joke. Even Mosely was surprised that he won. I don't know what fight the judges were watching. The only good shot Mosely landed was when he accidentally head butted Oscar.

[sniktawt]

Mosely did not win that fight.
Not even close.
It was a poor decision, That's for sure.

[JAE]

Can he challenge it or just have a rematch?

[Kris Hodgson]

He stated that he will launch an investigation on Monday (today) but there isn't really anything to investigate. It was a poor desision by the judges, but you can't argue with them. They're not going to go back on it. Basically, the only thing he can do is ask for a rematch.

[JAE]

But hey, that means more cash for everyone involved!

See it's situations like this that make me question the validity of how Boxing is organized and judged.
