It should be a good one. Overall, or course, it's kind of difficult to call with any real certaintude.
I just caught Real Time with Bill Maher today and guest Garry Shandling made remarks about what a friend had advised him concerning the fight, and it was remarkably similar to what I wrote before to the effect of "Mayweather is shooting off his mouth a little too much and it shows he's scared."
On the other hand, De La Hoya certainly won't be in a good position if he starts to lose too many rounds and has to count on a knockout; a round six-or-so victory would be just what he sort of needs to happen.
Mayweather is so fast that he inevitably starts to work the mid-section to systematically dehabilitate his opponent. De La Hoya has shown he's tough though. I think Oscar realizes that, for this fight, the best defense is a good offense.
