Breaking news: Floyd Mayweather revealed his secret affairs with Ann-sofi the female arm……… more
Perhaps one of the most impressive records in sporting history is that of Floyd Mayweather’s 50-0 boxing career. ‘Money’ Mayweather will go down in history for his bouts against the likes of Diego Corrales and Miguel Cotto, to name just two. However, there is one fight his own father, Floyd Mayweather Sr, claimed shouldn’t have gone his son’s way.
In 2007, Mayweather was at the height of his powers. So far undefeated, it seemed he couldn’t set a step wrong. Yet, in May of that year, he would step into the ring with global superstar Oscar De La Hoya. The combination of De La Hoya’s aggressive forward style and Mayweather’s elusive counter-punching opportunistic attacks created a fight for the ageThe fans also agreed; the fight shattered pay-per-view records at the time. Over 2.4 million people watched the fight, the viewing scores beating the previous 1.9 million record set by Evander Holyfield-Mike Tyson II.In the end, the fight went to the judges’ scorecard, and the win was awarded via split decision to ‘Money’ Mayweather, extending his professional record at the time to 38-0.
During the fight, Mayweather Sr. was giving input on HBO’s broadcast when he shockingly revealed that his son should’ve LOST the fight, and therefore lost his unbeaten recorHe said: “I’m just gonna be honest with you, man. If you want to call fights by scoring, points system, who’s throwing more punches, you had to give it to Oscar. If you’re just going on a guy hitting a guy with single shots, you have to give it to my son.
“My son had good defence, he caught a lot of punches with his shoulder and his arm, but it’s still about a guy throwing punches. If he touches you, he’s scoring… I thought the fight was a close fight, it’s just where the point system goes. If you look at the point system, who’s touching who the most… You’re gonna have to give it to Oscar if you’re going by point system.”d.s.
