De la Hoya-Mayweather simulated in Fight Night Round 3!

Some call it the biggest fight in the last 25 years: “The World Awaits” happens tomorrow night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas with two of boxing’s brightest stars duking it out for supremacy in the ring. Fans who can’t wait for the fight between Oscar “The Golden Boy” De La Hoya and “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr. ran a simulation using the Sony PlayStation 3 version of EA Sports‘ Fight Night Round 3 to find out who will win tomorrow’s brawl.

The video shows an aggressive Mayweather using his fast hands to deliver lightning combinations to Oscar’s body early on. This takes away a lot of Golden Boy’s stamina and weakens his punches. De La Hoya, an Olympic gold medalist and a six-division pro champion, is knocked out after several punishing rounds.

Popular boxing sites like ESPN and Maxboxing, however, are likely to disagree with the simulation. Everyone who knows boxing well enough that Mayweather, who is recognized as the best pond-for-pound boxer today, is more of a speed fighter who will much rather stick and move than go for a primal stoppage like what we saw in the simulation. Mayweather is a four-division pro champ and is unbeaten in 37 outings.
