Yea it definitely wasn’t enough punches from him.

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Pernell Whitaker is one of the best boxing fights of all times, and yet not enough credited so. The hunger to win, the action, the fast pace, the nice punches thrown, the great defense made, the ring inteligence displayed etc. this was a fight that had all you could ask for in a top billed world championship class fight P4P. Whitaker made him miss and look a little duped at times but he didn’t have enough offence to actually win the fight. De La Hoya was doing enough to keep him at bay and his aggresive approach and power advantage was what made the outcome to his favour, even by a small margin.

@@majormononoke8958 Yes in diploma level of boxing = kids level. There you can get points for solid defense skills. In boxing there is a 10 point system. The winner gets 10 points while the losing one gets 9 points. But in proffesional boxing you can lose more points by either diciplinary action of point reduction (low blow, hit behind the head, kidney shots, repeated holding, not responding, unsportsmanship acting etc.) or a scored knock-down (any hand or body that touches the canvas will recieve a knock-down count or a standing count if taking to many hits unanswered back) that can be -1 or -2 points = 8-7 point round loss. To win the round you must land more punches at your opponent then he does at you. And for those punches to be legit point punches, they must land clear at front body and front face/head. Hitting arms or hands give no accounted punches. Never hit behind the head or the neck or the back of your opponent and NEVER hit an opponent when he is down for count. The referee will expect both boxers to be able to defend themselves at all times or he will intervene the contest for both men's safety. A solid defense and/or having a solid guard is a must for any boxer to make it, but it gives no points other then protecting and shielding off some potential hits. But some boxers, often big hitters can land punches at guards for making there opponent lose pose and make mistakes to then follow it up with scoring punches that can hurt. Hope I could give some knowledge.

Whittaker did not lose this fight. He beat Chavez and He beat Delahoya. He was robbed twice in his career of his two biggest wins.

I haven't watched the fight since that night but at the time I had De La Hoya winning by two rounds, which killed me because Sweet Pea is one of my favorite two fighters. Whitaker's defense was great that night but offensively, he went through stretches where he just wasn't landing a lot whereas De La Hoya seemed to land more, but it was close. I disagree with people who said it was a robbery, I can easily see someone giving it to Whitaker but it wasn't some dominating blowout.

It was a close fight for sure, but I feel that Pernell won. Official compubox punch stats shows Pernell landing more than Oscar. In an interview, Oscar said it was a very close fight, and he admitted that many of his punches were missing. Oscar himself said that "Pernell's head movement was beautiful". There was NO WAY that, in a close fight like this, anyone was gonna let Pernell win. Oscar was the young and up and coming fighter, while Pernell was at the end of his career. Oscar was the "Golden Boy" and he was the cash cow, so EVERYONE needed him to win in order for money to be made and for the sport of boxing to stay alive - Oscar was the young, good-looking, Olympic medalist who was the new face of boxing. No one was gonna make money off of Pernell. But Pernell won. And Pernell also got robbed against Chavez. Pernell was THE BEST of that era!

@@user-sg8kq7ii3yPernell definitely got robbed against Chavez. I've actually watched that fight around 8 or 9 times and the most I ever gave to Chavez was 7 rounds and I was being really charitable. I usually gave Pernell about 8 rounds and it was 8 rounds he clearly won, not a few rounds that could go either way. The other two rounds I thought Chavez won one without question, three others were hard to say but a good case for Chavez but overall, Sweet Pea dominated that fight. Even the rounds Chavez won they weren't overly convincing, the rounds Pernell won there was no case for Chavez. The argument I've seen is Chavez was the aggressor so should have won the fight but to me that's always been a weak argument as he landed 100 fewer punches, Pernell moved but didn't run, as people like to conflate moving side to side with running, and in a lot of instances Pernell was the aggressor. There was no argument that Chavez won other than he went forward more, which means very little if you aren't landing anything.

De La Hoya is a cool surname. It rolls off the tongue nicely.

I always thought Oscar took it 7-5. Sweet Pea showed his defensive prowess and why he's one of the best defensive fighters ever, but he still got touched, he ate some shots. But the big thing is Whitaker didn't put out enough offense for me. And Oscar's defense wasn't awful! I think it's underrated how he handled Pernell's awkwardness.

@user-sg8kq7ii3y

Whitaker didn't put out enough offense? Do you even realize that official CompuBox punch statistics shows Pernell landing 232 total punches, while Oscar landed 191? Do you also realize that Pernell scored the bouts only knockdown? You only THINK that Oscar put out more offense because he threw more punches. But half of his punches were not even landing!!🤣. In one exchange, Oscar, LITERALLY, threw 10 punches, and ALL OF THEM MISSED! 🤣In an interview, even Oscar said that hitting Pernell was SO DIFFICULT because he had beautiful head movement. Yet the judges scored the fight 116-110; 116-110; 115-111 in favor of De Lahoya???? It WAS A VERY CLOSE FIGHT, and I can accept Delahoya winning by scores of 114-112 and 115-11. But TWO score at 116-110???? COME ON NOW!!!🤣

I'm happy to be from sweet p hometown. He was a legend. R.i.p. I'm mad at him because he had Oscar beat, but as you said he didn't throw anything while or after evading. Those flurries from Oscar started adding up during all those rounds. That's probably why he won.

One of the things I love about Oscar is the fact he always tried to fight the best fighters at the time! Some he lost, but makes him the greatest to not give in kn a fight!! And that’s the problem with boxing today, boxers pick and choose to protect their undefeated record

I loved Pernell growing up and I thought his style was changing a bit after the Chavez fight. It was completely different when he fought Hurtado. He seemed to want to stalk more. This is a hard fight to score. Pernell had an “attitude” in the ring some judges didn’t like. His style some didn’t like. Oscar did bring the fight and more then stood his ground. Can’t blame judges for leaning his way on close rounds. It was a fight of styles and those judges preferred Oscars that night.

Rewatched this fight recently after not watching it for years and I still have no idea how De La Hoya won. I remember giving at least 7 of the rounds to Whitaker and that was me being generous to Oscar. The majority of the the mid to late rounds were controlled by a large part by Whitaker's defense and jab, with De La Hoya looking completely baffled at times and just throwing flurries because he had no answer for it. That coupled with the knockdown I really don't see how De La Hoya was gifted a decision.

Commenting to help the algorithm

Always felt like Pernell got shafted but Oscar did his thing. Both masters of the noble art.

I gave it to De La Hoya by 114-112. A lot of rounds were close by De La Hoya was the one throwing punches, Whitaker made him miss but he never made him pay. I’d rather be the guys that missed 7 punches by landed 3 then be the guy that avoids 7 punches but takes 3 good ones.

This was a great fight, was a hard fight to score though I do agree that Oscar edged Whitaker, the score cards were ridiculous though, was definitely not that wide a margin.

"I should've gotten 10 out of 12 rounds" - Pernell Whitaker with an almost closed right eye 😂

Extremely close fight. Whitaker was incredibly elusive but also cautious, which meant neither man could sustain a successful offence. I had Whitaker winning by a point, but a draw or a point the other way would still have been fair. The official scorecards were an absolute joke.

I actually thought Oscar won this one. Something people often overlook when scoring this fight is that there was this dumb rule in place where if their was a headbutt that resulted in blood, whoever didn’t bleed got a point deducted. Oscar bled, Pernell didn’t. So round 3 is officially supposed to go to Oscar as a 10-8. A rematch should’ve happened, it was an extremely close fight.

Oscar was was crazy good in this fight

Del la Hoya did not want a rematch neither did Bob Arum

I think it came down to who was the busier offensive fighter. Power behind the punches and who was the cleaner fighter, by all three measures Oscar wins the fight. Pernell’s defense was off the charts, but the fact that it was so great and he was still getting rocked only helps Dela Hoyas side. Last, but not least, Whitaker seemed scared of Dela Hoyas punches as where Oscar looked unphased

Sweet Pea is the best defensive fighter I've ever seen. No one has ever touched his elusiveness.

ODH was a middle weight fighting a light weight

Sweet Pea is my favorite fighter of all time and this just confirmed for me how he was robbed. This was HBO ushering in their new star and its one of the main things I really hate about my favorite sport . No hate to De La Hoya, he definitely was worthy of the spotlight. But this fight didnt sit right with 17year old me and still doesnt now.

The fix was in

I've never seen this fight, but I think Oscar owned it.

Whitaker got screwed in almost every close decision of his career

Whittaker is one of the best I've ever seen.

That wasn’t Larry Merchant calling at ringside that was Rich Marotta.

Slipping punches is different from running around the ring. In my opinion, it doesn't look good if a fighter has to constantly chase after you in a fight. Especially if it's a title fight.

I thought Whittaker won the fight. They were both great fighters.

This one was hard to call. De la Hoya got it. Like it or not😎

clearly, hagler won.

I think the decision was the right one, but Whittaker was undoubtedly beautiful to watch. I think De La Hoya's heigh and reach were the difference.

man i wish the current heavyweight division had an ounce of this skill and technique. these guys look like professionals, each punch looks like it's been thrown thousands of times and had all the fat trimmed from it. whereas i watch Fury vs Wilder and it looks sloppy. Fury looks cleaner than wilder and whyte but not by much. they're big heavyweights alot bigger than Tyson, Foreman, and Ali but their fights were a thousand times more entertaining.

Sweet Pea ( RIP 🙏🏼 ) got robbed in this fight as well as the Chavez fight.

You can’t dance and run and expect to win. A major part of the scoring is who actively chases the fight. If you run around during the round only to dodge punches and no fireworks you still lose the round. He who takes the fight to his opponent in closely contested rounds is going to get the points. That is the way the sport is scored. De la Hoya knew this from the Olympics. You have to actively pursue and score. If you don’t pursue you can’t score unless you counter.
