Personally, I thought it was a great fight...no big romantic knock-out, but they both played it very well. As for the last 3 rounds, I had the 10th & 11th going to De la Hoya, and the 12th to Mayweather, which still, according to my judgment, made the fight 115-113, Mayweather. I could have seen it going to a draw, if someone had gone with the 10th as a draw, but I really don't know how someone made it in favor of De la Hoya. That is absurd.
There will definitely be a re-match. On another note, De la Hoya was a lot quicker than I'd expected, and, so it seemed, than Floyd had expected. It almost seemed like he was a bit intimidated by the added quickness and was spending a lot of time trying to avoid a KO. The 11th round was probably the defining moment of the fight, as De la Hoya, according to whomever they had scoring, landed only 8 punches, but, I thought, destroyed Mayweather, despite the fact that he landed 26. I REALLY thought that Floyd was going to collapse in that corner. In any case, I must've been one out of about 30 people actually rooting for Floyd tonight. REEEEEEEE-match.
