The big fight that has been put in our faces for months has finally concluded with Mayweather winning in a Split Decision (I don’t know where the split comes from) after 12 rounds.  This was a fight that boxing hoped would bring back the sizzle of boxing’s glory days where it highlighted the sports enthusiasts and the common fan.  The fight was good at best with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. landing precision punches and De La Hoya coming in with multiple body shots and proving that Mayweather has a way to go if he wants to compete in the heavier weight classes.  He just was not hitting hard enough to knock out De La Hoya.

I think that the conclusion of the fight in the last 10 seconds was too little, too late when both boxers exchanged punch after punch which as a fan would have loved to see earlier in the fight.  And one of the suprises was the decision where one judge decided to decide in De La Hoya’s favor. 

I hope that boxing can returns to its glory days.  Where someone would have got knocked the fuck out.  I think that if that would have happened, it would have been the icing on the cake.
