De La Hoya vs Mayweather

On May 5, 2007 there was a boxing fight between Oscar De la Hoya (Golden Boy) and Floyd Mayweather (Pretty Boy). Everyone was there. It was a huge fight. The fight took place at a MGM arena in Las Vegas. Many thought that De La Hoya would be beaten by Mayweather because he's older, so they thought that he would tire out in the later rounds. Mayweather himself was trying to win with the assumption that he would tire out at the end. Throughout the match, Mayweather practically stood there waiting for De La Hoya to come at him. Therefore, De La Hoya was the one pressing the fight. If he didn't keep walking forward and press the fight, there would have been no boxing match (as he later told a reporter in a brief interview right after the fight). Although De La Hoya kept pressing the fight and threw a huge amount of punches, only about half of them actually landed. On the other hand, Mayweather threw way fewer punches, but landed way more of them than De La Hoya. Mayweather's punches were way more accurate. De La Hoya is famous for his left jab, but he only used it once and when he used it, it was his best punch of the night. the question is: why didn't he use it more? De La Hoya said that for some reason it wasn't the night of the left jab. He doesn't know why he stopped using it. One judge said that De La Hoya won 115 to 113, but another judge said that Mayweather one. Mayweather ended up winning. Some people say that De La Hoya should have won because he pressed the fight, but others totally disagree and are so sure that Mayweather won because his punches were so much more accurate than De La Hoya's. It was kind of sad because it was Cinco de Mayo and De La Hoya was Mexican American and he lost.
My familiy and I watched the fight on TV. We have Dish Network and we had to order it. It cost almost $60. I guess it was worth it. It was the only boxing match that I ever watched from beginning to end and actually had some interest in it. I was surprised at how long the boxing match was. It was only maybe half an hour, but it was a big fight, so I guess it was worth it. Plus, it gave me something to blog about today.

Here's a 3 minute movie i found on Youtube that shows the fight in Round 5.
