Mayweather wins split decision over De La Hoya
"I landed the harder, crisper punches," De La Hoya said. "I felt when I landed my punches I could see I was hurting him. If I hadn't pressed the fight, there would be no fight."
Mayweather's estranged father also thought De La Hoya did enough to win.

I watched the fight. It was worth all $55. and the cost of drinks. De La Hoya brought the fight to Mayweather.
I saw De La Hoya win the first 4 rounds and the last two. He should have won the split. He was on the hill. Mayweather go to the hill and knock him off. I want to see a rematch but with out Mayweather's father on De La Hoya side. I think blood is thicker then water in all cases. I want to know how Mayweather knew Hoya game plan.
LONDON (Reuters) - A British man who went on a wild spending spree after doctors said he only had a short time to live wants compensation because the diagnosis was wrong and he is now healthy -- but broke.

John Brandrick, 62, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago and told that he would probably die within a year.
He quit his job, sold or gave away nearly all his possessions, stopped paying his mortgage and spent his savings dining out and going on holiday.
Brandrick was left with little more than the black suit, white shirt and red tie that he had planned to be buried in when it emerged a year later that his suspected "tumor" was no more than a non-life threatening inflammation of the pancreas.
"When they tell you you've got a limited time and everything, you do enjoy life," Brandrick, from Cornwall in the west of England, told Sky television.
"I'm really pleased that I've got a second chance in life... but if you haven't got no money after all this, which is my fault -- I spent it all -- they should pay something back."
If he can't get compensation, he is considering selling his house or suing the hospital that diagnosed him. The hospital has said that while it sympathizes with Brandrick, a review of his case showed no different diagnosis would have been made.
DeLaHoya won, but of course, if they had given the fight to him, there would have been the usual stale old race card played by the Blacks.
Anymore the Blacks can take over the world because if you don't let them, it is because you're a racist.
I'm quite tired of it!
