Total punch’s landed Whittaker 232 of those 160 were jabs so hooks uppercuts and right hands were only 72 that landed. Let’s look at Oscar total punch’s landed 191 of those 45 were jabs. So hooks uppercuts and right hands landed 146. So who is the better fighter? Who won the fight? I’d agree with the judges.
Sweet P schooled Oscar. To his credit, Oscar tried adjustment after adjustment after adjustment, but nothing worked. Whitaker was brilliant, and deserved the win (same as he did with Chavez and Ramirez).
De La Hoya resulted to going back to the amateurs as far how he threw his punches , Pernell was controlling the fught even though in defense of Oscar he made the fight close , but Pernell was the vet with more skilled and Oscar was a great fighter with a solified resume Whitaker was by far was Oscar's toughest opponent
We fans ain't stupid and of course the guy for HBO was Oscar de la Hoya at the time cus people thought he was going to dropped and ko trinidad and ran like chicken de la Hoya he was
He actually outboxed Nd punched Tito . His only fault was cruising the last two Rds .. He gave him a fckin' Boxing lesson [Before BHop did at the Garden] You call it running , Tito didn't nd wasn't able to do much with DLH that nite [Without the judges]
No Hispanic fighter has ever beaten a top notch black fighter without controversy besides duran when he fought Leonard and even then leonard still beat him in the rematch im talking about upper level pound for pound type fighters not regular ones
Those days were gone before you/I were even born. Boxing is scored by three judges, round by round, with a 10 point must system. Whitaker was hitting and not getting hit (boxing).
@@John.Flower.Productions you must beat the Champ convincely. It's more to be a Champ than the belt. That's why we have (faces of boxing) now. The pedigree is missing ⚖️⚖️⚖️
@@lilpan1187 De La Hoya only scored some glancing "power" shots that never got Sweet Pea into any kind of danger. While Sweet Pea outboxed, outjabbed and outscored De La Hoya, while also scoring more knockdowns against a 10 yr younger fighter. Not even mentioning Sweet Pea's ring generalship and his entertainment value. It was a commercial and financial decision made beforehand to be able to milk as much money as possible from the "Golden Boy", please face that.
sad boxing treats its legends like this. Guy was the champ, clearly won 7 of 12 rounds and dropped him. he won the fight. Was in full control with his jab alone.
@@jalynharden978 no he didn’t. De la Hoya was touching him up badly. You can see in round 10 how bad Whittaker looked lol. Know boxing. Castillo whooped Floyd. 115-113. That was a real robbery fight
For all the people saying Whitaker won nd Knowing that typically lighter skinned people cut nd bruise more?WHY does Pernell have a closed eye nd and a knot on his forehead nd swollen right cheek?While De La Hoys doesn't have a Scratch?And this is like a Week later or whatever nd Pernells brusises still in effect nd eye still closed.THESE ARE FACTS I AM STATING NOT OPINIONS.
Dumbest fucking comment I've read in a long time. Suggesting a boxer lost a fight because he's got more bruises than the other guy. If you don't know shit about boxing why are you here writing bullshit comments?
hahah Parnell thinks he controlled the fight, he is dreaming.. Oscar beat him in every way and dictated the action, parnell did nothing but show boat, all the while doing nothing significant.
@alexandrosanchez6501 I like Delahoya. He's a great boxer. I think he could have been one of the only boxers to defeat Floyd Mayweather if he would have changed his plan and fought his traditional style. With that being said Pernell Whitaker was another level. You couldn't touch him. He outclassed his opponents and made it look too easy. In my opinion , he's one of the best underrated pound for pound boxers ever. He left out the fight exactly the way he went in because Delahoya clearly could not connect any meaningful shots the entire fight. It was clearly a robbery and why so much controversy surrounds the that situation.
Oscar beat him convincingly.. Simple as that.. First 5 rounds straight easily, could of still been 7 or 8 straight. Would been an even larger gap if not for the trip that was ruled a knockdown.
