FLOYD MAYWEATHER

You can do it Tito.

almost there fellas...introduction is on the way.......

Tito or Heavy... Nike, just do it... thanks fellas

Yeah doing great so far Tito.......

Thanks guys.

what is the round now..

Fantastic national anthem by Marc Anthony! I am ready!

This shit is so funny,floyds coming out with mexican colors and a mexican hat

that sombrero killed me

Yeah he is playing games. Funny stuff for sure.

just been on the phone with dell for 3 hours,made it just in time for the fight.

Classic Floyd with his mental games......

Floyd is hilarious

12 rounds Tito? with due respect, just 6 for DLH

Floyd wins a decision.

damn, this feels like 5 superbowls rolled into one, nothing better than an big boxing match, or the anticipation of it..

ok, since you do the rnd by rnd, just don't drink too much...

Oh yeah, if you think a loudmouthed, classless d1ck is funny. I hope to see him knocked out, though I may not.

from the crowd ractin Tito, whos is more popular?

how long does it take to sing the national anthem...i cant wait till it starts...the fight that is....

Floyd was feeling him out a lot int he first round. I thought he landed the cleaner punches in that round.

Oscar. He landed hardly any, and they went nuts.

How did Lederman give DLH the first round?

no idea, but oscar got the 2nd, i've got it 1-1

DLH I think got the 2nd round but Lederman is delusional if he thinks Oscar won the 1st.

He gave it to Floyd.

I don't know but Stevie Wonder could give DLH the second.

its fvkin crazy how dlh throw anything even if it misses, the fans go crazy.

i gave oscar the first two rounds for his aggression

War oscar

Floyd showed some great defensive skills in the 3rd round but DLH was more active so I have DLH up 2 rounds to 1.

all that counts, however, is "effective" aggression. Was he effective?

floyd fighting like a scared litte bitch

3-0 oscar

war oscar

Ahh ok Lederman did give Floyd the 1st round.I do think Mayweather landed better shots in the 3rd round so now that I think about it he probably own the 3rd round.

heavy back up Tito, thanks

The crowd is pissing me off. Floyd is blocking and defending almost all of DLH's punches but the crowd goes nuts swaying the judges.

I think its 2-2 right now but I wouldn't be surprised that with the crowds reactions if the Judges had it 4-0 DLH.

round 4 plz... whooooo

Floyd has a mouse under his right eye. Ok maybe just a little swelling.

Don't complain....I hope Floyd loses no matter what.

Floyd is taking over this fight with his defense and countering.

Floyd is starting to land at will how do you like that?

i cant believe this. is oscar loosing this fight?

I knew this would happen. Floyd is getting on his and taking potshots. Oscar just follows him around ineffectively. 12 rounds of boring $hit.

TITO, you're doing a great job, my man. Much appreciated.

BBC has Oscar up 3-2 after 5...

That shows the difference in judgement from person to person. Floyd has been landing the far more cleaner and effective punches and has shown great defense. But hey whatever a judge prefers.

Lederman has it 4-2 Mayweather.

i agree w/ lederman

Mayweather has been a lot more precise over the course of this fight while DLH has been more active but he is NOT landing anything clean while every punch Floyd lands is right on the button.

Kudos for the round by round Tito.

Espn updates their's like old people fvck.

I give Oscar the 7th round.
