Unrelated side note about SKorea:
These buses be doing 150..........shyt is unnerving as fukk
Especially when there's another right next to you and you can see the passengers, I be like "Jesus Take the Wheel!"
Couldn't find what I was looking for, I'll try again 2morrow

I JUST watched the fight again, due to the talks on here, and I have De La Hoya beating Trinidad 116-112.
I have De La Hoya winning rounds 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and Trinidad winning rounds 4, 10, 11, and 12.
Closest round for me was round 9...could've went either way, but I gave it to ODLH because of the combination punching at the beginning and end of the round.
I had it 116-112 and could at worst see it as 115-113 for De La Hoya.

Highlights from this long ass article on Chavez-GGG, http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/post/_/id/8290/weight-penalty-for-chavez-ggg:
Arum said that K2 Promotions' Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter, asked for the million-dollar penalty.
"We had no objection," Arum said. "It goes for both guys. We know there has been a history with Chavez. But he has no problem making 168 now. He made it with ease for the Vera rematch. He wasn't dehydrated on the scale.
"He wanted to prove to everybody that when he does the weight right, he can get down to 168 without any problem. So Tom asked for the $1 million penalty and I said I would check with the Chavez people and they readily agreed."
Loeffler said they asked for the penalty because Chavez is already much bigger than Golovkin.
"We feel $1 million is significant enough that it will make Julio come on weight," Loeffler told ESPN.com. "GGG is a small middleweight and makes 160 very easily, so we don't expect any issues with GGG making weight and he has never been overweight in his entire career.
Arum admitted that such a large penalty would probably generate some publicity for the fight but that was not the reason for doing it.
"In the real world this assures me the weight's not going to be problem," Arum said. "With Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley, I wouldn't give it a second thought [about negotiating a weight penalty] because there is never a problem with the weight. With Chavez we had that terrible experience."
Arum said the reason for the date switch from July 12 to July 19 was because of TV Azteca, his Mexican broadcast partner.
"I got pushback on July 12 by TV Azteca because that is the date of the [soccer] World Cup consolation game," Arum said. "For me, that doesn't mean s---, but for others it means a lot. TV Azteca bought the whole World Cup and that's when the consolation game is, so it's a big deal for them. But everybody ended up loving the 19th anyway, so it was no problem to move. I talked to the Forum people and they were holding the 12th and we got them to switch to the 19th."
By moving the card to July 19, it means Top Rank will have two notable cards on the same day. Arum is also doing another card that date in Macau, China, which will feature Chinese flyweight star Zou Shiming in his first 10-round bout along with other fights Arum says he is working on.
He said junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux could make his next defense on that card -- the last on his contract with Top Rank -- and that Brian Viloria could challenge for a flyweight title on the card.
Arum says the plan is for HBO to televise the card from Macau on "HBO2 or maybe HBO in the afternoon and use it to help drive the pay-per-view for that evening."
"If GGG beats Julio at 168, he would not stay at that weight and come back to 160 to continue his quest to prove he is the best middleweight in the world today," he said.

Ghost would get fukked up. He don't want those problems.
On a side note, I'm still tryna figure out what Thurman is. He's gotta be a half breed like Andre Ward. I always forget that S.O.G. is a Mulatto. He looks mixed, but he doesn't look like Mulatto. Keith Thurman does though.
