I always thought Quartey had one of the best jabs ive ever seen.

[@user-yd8wp8rz2b]

There was no robbery. It was an exciting fight between two champions during their prime. The decision was correct on who won.

[@anti-classist]

Actually Ike was the champ... dlh was the challenger... gotta take it from the champ...

[@Steverodriguez825]

@@anti-classistwhat? De la Hoya was WBC world champion. Ike was the challenger.

It's one of my favourite fights, Golden Boy truly Golden 12th round was Legendary Props to Top Rank boxing 💯

[@Ryan-hl4ur]

? Yea, great LAST rd, ONLY what about the rest of the fight? Oscar ALREADY had the Tito fight setup for Sept. So @goldengirls he CLEARLY was looking ahead.

[@MagnusGalactusOG]

Small gloves too! What an amazing fight and brutal win for Oscar! What a legend.

[@hades2936]

3-2 going into the 6 round, Ike is up. The 6th round both men get a knock down but Ike Wins the round he fought back brilliantly after knocking down de la hoya (10-9 round goes to ike), 4-2, Ikes wins rounds 6-9. 7-2 IKE going into the 10th, De la Hoya wins the 10th and maybe 11th could be a 10-10 round, 7-4 Ike upgoing into the 12th, De la hoya wins the 12th, you can give him a 10-8 round but ran out of gas and Ike stood the rest of the round and faught back, ref did a great job letting it go. This is what i saw.... 7-5 Ike beats de LA hoya even if you have de la hoya winning the 12th, at the worst its a DRAW, but IKes been beating him with the JAB all night long, setting the paste and being the aggressor, also threw and landed more punches. I'm a fan of de la hoya but ROBBERY happened, (116, 113) the second judge, someone needs to fire that guy or find out who payed him to have de la hoya up(did you have de la hoya winning by that much??)....unfortunately boxing has always been a sport which has had FLAWS/corruption since the BEGGINING of it and i say this respectfully since MEN go in there and sometimes leave the squared circle with half of what they were. Anyone who steps in there has my respect, JUDGES need to be better. (check out Mayweather OLYMPICS or HOlyfield OLYMPICS, or whitiker vs DE la hoya.. that was a great fight but whitiker won and got robbed or DE LA hoya vs Trinidad, DE la hoya got robbed that night) Its entertainment and truth be told not many fans will come support IKE as much as fans will come support de la hoya, Hoya has more female fans, then most fighters have male fans at this time, hence the GOLDEN BOI monicker. DE la hoya is also one of my fav fighters to be clear. His boxing style is nice, but tonight he had an off night. Respect to both MEN for putting up a great fight, but only one MAN was in control the whole night in my eyes and this NIGHT belonged to IKE.

[@edwardrk8870]

How did you score first five rounds? I mean, in whose favour you scored each of the first five? I'm scoring this fight now myself, so wanted to compare our round-by-round cards.

[@Dont370]

That fight was pretty damn close to a draw, but that 12th round put De La Hoya a little over Ike.

[@billybob9961]

This was a close great competitive fight! It could have gone either way. I would really like to see fights like this one ow days. Two real fighters

[@MarianoFreyreX]

Quartey is amazing, what a boxer, incredible, and Dela Hoya, legend.

This why oscar a legend. Say what you will about him now in 2024 but he never ducked a fight and thats why he has losses

[@HomeSlize]

Classic war/fight! Both are champs & legends of the sport!

[@jamstawildman]

For those of you who don’t understand how fights are scored: two of the judges scored it in favour of De La Hoya, and one of them scored it in favour of Quartey. Therefore De La Hoya won the fight. That’s how it works. There is nothing else to say about it.

[@omarvazquez3355]

Amazing fight!

[@rockabye_baby187]

Another that made me laugh is the crowd, clearly an Oscar crowd...theybwould scream whenever he flurried and he wasnt even landing those punches they missed or were blocked. He fought like a robot in there. Round 9, Quartey. Oscar had one clear set he got in. The uppercuts got in. Everything else was landed by Ike. Thats 7-2.

[@lonnycampos92]

The biggest robbery of alll times was De la Hoya vs Trinidad !

[@apokalypze626]

No this is the biggest robbery, Oscar won 2 rounds at the most 3 in this fight .. an tan like bolt against Trinidad .

[@jayflow2713]

The Trinidad robbery was bad because Oscar literally ran the last few times to avoid getting knocked out. This was more back and forth and when there are a lot of close rounds it can be scored either way. It wasn’t clear enough to be a blow out or for sure. You’ll probably give the close rounds to your favorite fighter and that can make a 2 plus point difference in the end. A 116-112 can be 114-114 just by giving one swing round to the other guy. Close fights are all subjective

[@lonnycampos92]

@@apokalypze626 so you think de la Hota won 2 or 3 rouds? You are crazy hahaha, dee la Hoya dominated the whole 9 rounds, and he started running away. Hahha cant believe you said that.

Quartey had 2 knock downs, De la Hoya had one, and besides that all rounds were really close, that being said. . If you want to win against De la Hoya you have to knock him out !

Wrong dummy De La Hoya scored two knockdowns and Quartet one

[@bobpowell8231]

You should watch the 12th rd before speaking.

[@anti-classist]

The look on DLH face after the bell rang in the first round... when he glanced back at him... like wtf? Who is this dude with a jab that hurts like a straight eight.

[@rockabye_baby187]

Round 12, I give it to Oscar. Thats 7-5 in favor of Ike Quartey. Scoring two knockdowns was cool, but Ike carried the action the whole fight. Made two mistakes getting sloppy. Still looks clearly like Quartey shouldve won. 7-5.

[@209boxing8]

I feel that qaurtey won 115 112 this fight in my opinion qaurtey was out jabbing him Oscar wasn't doing enough jus moving around in the ring I don't even think it was a close fight

The best jab in boxing history, bazooka jab

[@wizdom_bluie1295]

Their was nothing close about the fight mins round 12 , wouldn't you agree

[@jayflow2713]

Close fights can go either way at times. If you give a swing round to the other guy it automatically changes the end score by 2 points so if there are a few close rounds it could mean a different winner. Sometimes we give the close rounds to the fighter we prefer and that greatly affects the outcome. This fight wasn’t a blowout at all regardless to what it was close

[@lennox8330]

I would of gave it to Oscar cause of how he closed. Man Quartey could really box! Shows you how far the sport has fallen

[@rockabye_baby187]

Round 10, ODH. Quartey ...was in complete control then did some weird stuff. Total waste of energy. Get behind your jab wouldve coasted the whole round. Oscar did not want to box. He stole the round just off Quartey lack of focus. ODH also took round 11. Thats 7-4 headed into the final round.

[@The053199]

Quartey lost. He got dropped in the 12th and got outworked that same round. It couldve been a 10-7 round. Getting dropped in a fight that was a draw makes it no longer a draw. It was close until it wasnt🤷🏽‍♂️ youll hear the victims cry robbery in the commente though

[@africateachermusic9624]

Ike fought bravery

[@Bencarson_1]

You don’t even have shame! When you knock someone down…it is usually scored as 10 7, assuming Oscar win round 11, and 12 with 10 9, and 10 7 respectively, was that enough to turn the whole fight on its head??? Clearly robbery and you should have listened to the commentary behind the fight by the commentators

[@rockabye_baby187]

5th round, Quartey. 6th was great action, Quartey slight edge after both scored knockdowns. De la Hoya rested after he got knocked down. So, its 4-2 going into round 7.

Oscar won barely, great fight. This fight was screaming 15 rounds.

[@edward.arellano]

What a FIGHT!👊💥

[@MrPTR91]

Mitch Halpern helped ODLH get through that rough stretch after he got knocked down. And he did the same thing during the Trinidad fight late as well. Shameful when a ref interferes and tries to affect the outcome of a fair fight.

[@jamescross4703]

Should have been a 10-7 round twelve. Ropes held him up on more than one occasion. Referee missed that and remember Oscar was the champ. Not Quartey. Great fight as well.
