Mayweather in a split decision.

Really a BS split decision, as I thought it was pretty obvious that Mayweather dominated the fight, but either way it was a split.

Mayweather won easily. The sombrero was comedy gold.

Oh yeah, as for the drama in the fight....

Mayweather wore green, red, and white trunks, like the Mexican flag. Pretty funny. Came out in a big sombrero, too, mocking the Mexicans that were there.

The crowd was basically 75-25 in favor of De la Hoya, too, and every time that he landed what even looked like a punch the crowd would go wild.

In the end, though, Mayweather dominated what was a pretty boring fight. No major punches landed, no knockdown or even slip. Pretty much just Mayweather dancing around and avoiding a real fight, and De La Hoya making it look like a better fight than it actually was.

Mayweather also stood firm that he is retiring, which I have about as much faith in as I did Storm in May or Bwana Bull winning today and going on to the Triple Crown.

I am glad I saw the fight, just not glad that I blew even more money today as the Derby was not good to me...

My boy got the fight and we grilled it down. A couple of bucks from each guy and girl would get you a few Corona's with lime and a steak. I about **** my pants when the one judge favored Osacr by 2 rounds. I won around a grand on the fight to make up for my Derby miss que's. Oscar stood flat footed in front PBF and took a beating.
