The highly anticipated bout between Floyd Mayweather and Oscar Da La Hoya ended in defeat for the American. The ugly one. The tall, ugly one. The tall, ugly, outspoken one. OK, Da La Hoya lost.

Despite Da La Hoya charging out of the blocks, Mayweather held out and earned a narrow split decision over his fellow American.

The judges scores were 116-112, 115-113 & 113-115

There were initially some concerns that the judges had made a mistake after the cards mistakenly listed Mayweather fighting out of the red corner and De la Hoya out of the blue. But there appeared to be no grounds for reversal.

After the fight both Mayweather and Da La Hoya hinted at their retirements.

Mayweather said (could be a bit more than a hint),

“Now I’m going to retire. I don’t have anything left to prove, I have made a ton of money from this sport and I want to spend more time with my children.”

While Da La Hoya said,

“I don’t feel like a loser”

Well Oscar, it’s great that you don’t feel like a loser (even though you so are), but the fact is that I think you’re a loser! My opinions matter! I have a blog, man! I get like… 15 visitors… every day… So cry yourself to sleep tonight knowing that you got ripped apart on SoggyCornflakes.com!

Except he didn’t… that’s my headline… It’s easy to make good headlines… especially when you lie…

Anyway.

American Boxer Oscar De La Hoya (actually) says that Floyd Mayweathers jibes will just spur him on to greater heights as he prepares to fight his fellow American in Las Vegas this Sunday.

He (actually) says,

“Everything that comes out of his mouth just makes me work that much harder. There is no respect whatsoever there. When a fighter talks trash, for some reason it just sparks something in me. It takes me to a whole new level.”

I know exactly what he means! When I’m out on a date, and the chick talks trash I just want to box her! In her mouth! Scratch that, when I’m on a date and the chick talks, I want to smash her mouth in.

I always say to her, “B****, it’s not about you! Are you paying the bill? Did you drive us here? Did you ring you doorbell? No? Then Shut Up and suck!!!”

You know, because I always buy them a lollipop on our first date… what were you thinking?

Former three-weight world champion Johnny Tapia is fighting for his life after reportedly overdosing on cocaine. A hospital spokesman described the boxer as being in a “critical” condition.

Despite his skill in the ring, Tapia was better known for his life outside the boxing world. In his book, “Mi Vida Loca: The Crazy Life of Johnny Tapia“, he says that he has been clinically declared dead 5 times, all of them due to drug abuse.

OK… I’ll admit he was a top class fighter, but he’s not that smart. How many times do you need to see the white light before you realise that it’s not a massive room filled with glowing vanilla ice cream?

I bet I could take him. I’d just have to say, “Hey man, I hear if you squeeze your balls really hard, and I mean REALLY hard, you get magic powers… and cocaine…magical cocaine…”

Someone tricked me like that once. Although he said “Hey man, I hear if you squeeze your balls really hard, and I mean REALLY hard, you get hurt… and you can never have kids…ever” … Ha, I’m never falling for that one again.
