Oscar looked pretty good against Bernard Hopkins what weight is Mayorga

It seems he is considerably smaller than Hopkins

Also De La Hoya destroyed Trinidad before giving him the fight

His speed embarresed Chavez and ended his career for all practical purposes

He beat pernell whitaker while sweat pea was near his prime

Of course those are old fights and Oscar is slower and softer now not to mention it looks like he gets fairly heavy when not fighting

However he is in a different class than Mayorga and if he is in shape no contest

OD........

Oscar owned him tonight. Knocked him down in the first round. Then finished him in the 7th or 8th round. I think the score card was 8/10 De La Hoya all the way through until one of them rounds.

Oscar should be set for Mayweather Floyd Jr, his trainer's son. Floyd jr. is the next opponent set up for the winner of this fight.

Should be interesting, especially since his dad trains De La Hoya. Makes you wonder will he be in De La Hoya's corner or his son's. Money talks you know.

OD said he was going to retire on the tonight show if he lost this one. Im not supprised he won. He was favored slightly and he said he trained for this fight harder then any fight.

 

[Vanilla-Gorilla]

Speaking of training, Mayorga did as well. He normally trains 4 weeks before a fight. This time he trained months before and if anyone watched the fight and seen his past fights can tell that he was in the best shape of his life. That was the leanest I have ever seen Mayorga. It was funny though. Everyone kept noting and showed footage of him constantly smoking Marlboro Red's and drinking beer. Amazing. They did however say for this fight he did cut back to 4 cig's a day.

hmmm yum eating my words is good, and low on carbs too....

 

[StoryOfTheYear]

Del La Hoya all the way baby!!!! Mayorga has no tech. what-so-ever and just throws wild punches......and smokes cigs.......and drinks a lot of beer.....and trains for 4 weeks before a fight? Gimme a break. Hands down, De La Hoya IMO -StOrY

 

[JETHRO TULL]

I DIDN'T LIKE ALL THE THINGS MAYORGA SAID ABOUT DELAHOYAS WIFE ETC...

FOR THAT REASON....I AM GLAD HE WAS DEFEATED.

 

[HUTCH]

FOR THAT REASON....I AM GLAD HE WAS DEFEATED.

you have a good point, that was totally classless...but I can never tell if they are trying to sell tickets or not...

 

[HUTCH]

Hey Rob thanks for calling me to come watch the fight, ....Just for that Im gonna have to put you in a double chicken wing....:a;tion-sm

Guys like Mayorga are some of the easiest to beat if you know what you are doing. He has that "Tyson" style. Just go in swinging like a mad man. A technical boxer will destroy someone like that anyday of the week. Look at Holyfield and Lewis. Both guys are class acts and KNOW how to box. Same with De La Hoya. He knew all he had to do was keep covered up and not fear this guy and he would destroy him. You can't hurt what you can't penetrate. Oscar kept his gloves up blocking just about everyone of Mayorga's punches. I think out of the whole fight Mayorga threw 250+ punches and only landed 40 something. De La Hoya threw 160+ punches and landed 100 of them thus knocking him out. This is exactly why Lewis and Holyfield destroyed Tyson. These type fights do sell tickets, but a REAL boxer will destroy these type fighters everytime.

I think most boxers lost to Tyson because they feared him. Mayorga tried to scare De La Hoya, it didn't work. De La Hoya is smart.

Woner how much he made off the fight. Not only did he win the purse, he promoted it as well.

Not intending to turn the thread but this is ONLY true of a later Tyson. An early Tyson was ALL of what was said. I never doubted Oscar for a second. The way he embarrassed tittie(tito) was what I expected. As for Lewis, he's still the luckiest fucker in boxing history(just becaue he was luckeir longer than Rahman).
