De La Hoya / Mosley Mystery

De La Hoya vs. Mosley II - A black eye to boxing. 

No, wait, not a black eye but a totally punched out face!

What am I trying to say - Simple, yet another robbery with out any thief's...ah... you know what I mean - I

just don't know how to explain it anymore. It's a mystery to me.

The fight was awarded to Mosley when it was obvious that De La Hoya had won at least seven rounds out of

the 12. 

The way I saw the fight, De La Hoya won those seven rounds very convincingly. I will give four rounds to

Mosley and 1 was a toss up. 

I know that I'm not a pro boxer or a pro judge but I think I am pretty fair when it comes to judging fights -

especially this one. 

I liked both of these fighters and respect both of them. I thought to myself maybe I saw the fight as a one

sided fight because I like one of the fighters more than the other.

But that's not the case. I admire both of these fighters.  I thought back and forth how it was that the judges

scored a unanimous decision giving Mosley the big W. 

I guess if that's how you score boxing, I would make a horrible Judge.


Till next
