A close fight is not unusual in boxing. It can not be stressed enough that scoring a fight is similar to judging an argument. If it is not a one-sided beating based on punch counts and strong, effective punching or a clear knockout, a fight may result in somewhat shadowy controversy. Subjectivity and personal opinion makes the difference in a sport where the scores are tallied based on an aspect as abstract as “ring generalship.”
Even the best and most elite fighters are in close fights that could have gone in direction of either fighter if the cards had fallen correctly.
Future Hall of Famer, Oscar De La Hoya, 38-5, 30 KO’s, is no different from other fighters in respect to the narrow margins of many of his victories and defeats. Everyday boxing debates are held between fans in break rooms and at water coolers across America about who he might have beaten and who was shafted against the great Golden Boy. For your reading pleasure, RSR is here to adjust the record of the all-time great and settle his close scores.
Floyd had won the WBC Super Featherweight Title in 1998 and defended it eight times through 2001. The following year, he beat Jose Luis Castillo for the WBC Lightweight Title. After defending it three more times, he fought and won two title eliminator bouts against DeMarcus Corley and Henry Bruseles.
Floyd Mayweather, JR, He’s known outside the ring for his loud mouth, brash comments, and flashy style. Inside the ring, he’s a consummate professional, lightning quick, excellent all around boxer, and among the best in the world.
For good reason, then, people don’t usually line up to fight Floyd, JR. He can embarrass people with his showmanship and dominance.
