The people on ESPN boxing message board will give you a summary of each round. Some of them are really good, some not so.

My whole neighborhood is starting to fill up with cars. I know its Cinco de Mayo, and I know I live in San Antonio (its good to know where one lives); But this is for the fight. Lots of folks here love boxing.

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.

Oscar was no good, Freddie Roach really dissapointed me in his training of Oscar.

the only time oscar was effective was when he used his left jab. he won the rounds he did this.

i thought the comedy gold was the post fight interview with de la hoya when he was asked why he didn't use it more. he acknowleges how effective it had been but then adds..."i'm not sure why but it just didn't seem like it was the night for it." makes sense.

mayweather's a monster. i cannot believe how fast his hands are.

it's time for larry merchant to retire. it's painful waiting for him to finish a thought or question.

The only thing more tiresome than the merchant-mayweather sr. interview would be merchant interviewing mayweather sr. and william shatner as james t. kirk at the same time.
