“Must Be Drunk Right Now if He Thinks He Beat Floyd”: After Calling Mayweather Loss a “Robbery”, Oscar De La Hoya Confronted With Reality Check by Fans

Oscar De La Hoya, former world champion turned promoter, got a reality check from the fans after a questionable tweet. This past Saturday, Devin Haney, the current lightweight champion, defeated Vasyl Lomachenko via a controversial decision. Many boxing pundits and fans thought that the decision robbed Lomachenko of an evident victory, including De La Hoya. However, to express his dissatisfaction with the decision, La Hoya called it a “robbery” and considered the fight’s decision to be similar to the bout he had with  Floyd Mayweather.

Back in 2007, De La Hoya was defeated by Floyd Mayweather. Although the bout was competitive between the two, Mayweather won by split decision. However, De La Hoya felt that he did enough to secure the victory and was not pleased with the decision. Recently, he reflected on the fight with ‘Money’ that happened 16 years ago and did not shy away from making his reactions public.

Oscar De La Hoya compares his defeat against Floyd Mayweather to Vasyl Lomachenko’s defeat against Floyd Mayweather; Fans react

De La Hoya, post the bout between Haney and Loma, felt that the latter got robbed of a victory just like him when he fought Floyd in 2007. He tweeted, “Haney beat Loma like Maywether beat me. #robbery” 

The fans could not help themselves but make their reactions public. Here are a few interesting fan reactions:

A fan finds it difficult to recall what took place in his bout against Mayweather. He stated, “I got so drunk at your fight with Mayweather I have no clue who won.” One fan responded to the Tweet stating that De La Hoya would be intoxicated as well to think he won that bout. He stated, “Unfortunately so did De La Hoya! Dude must be drunk right now if he thinks he beat Floyd”

While one fan proposed another example to describe the “robbery”, He stated, “Like Mayweather beat Pacquiao”

One fan named Axy thinks the tweet is a mistake and should delete it. He stated, “Delete this it’s not too late”

On similar lines, a fan thinks that the comparison is not correct. She stated, “But u didn’t beat Mayweather Oscar & i say that respectfully”
