wayne, i agree. i saw two different fighters. i watched the oscar / felix fight and my untrained eye (and unimpacted wallet by don king ;-) told me it was a draw.

having said that, i can see how a reasonable person would give felix the decision. he pressured the fight all night long while oscar got on his bicycle and pedaled backwards all night long. felix had 2:30 of uninspiring but pressuring boxing per round while oscar had 0:30 of exciting, albeit weak, punches.

oscar lost his heart, imho. he mentally turned from tough guy boxer to prima donna pretty boy and singer. you can't stay at the top like that.

what weight does shane mosely (sp??) fight at?

>>I thought Oscar might have actually beaten Tito. He just didn't get the decision. I want to see that one again.<<

wayne, unfortunately for boxing fans, oscar appears to relish the pretty boy image rather than the tough guy image. i don't think he has the heart or mentality to compete at this level and win.

he'd rather sell albums.
