May 19, 2005 - Sources from HBO have informed **********.com that Golden Boy Promotions has received its September 17 PPV date. Oscar De La Hoya and junior featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera will each see action on the show. Barrera is expected to face what we've been informed will be an "A+ opponent", while De La Hoya returns at 150 pounds in his first fight back since losing to pound for pound king Bernard Hopkins last September. Opponents have yet to be solidified.

I hope its Judah Oscar is facin.

Oscar at 150lbs?... D'you know if it's 147lbs or 154lbs?... Coz' personally I'm not sure Oscar could get back down to 147lbs. He's looking a bit podgey these days and it's been about 3-4yrs since he fought at Welterweight.

their last ppv was golden fraud promotion i fell sorry for who ever bought that crap let's see who barrera fights that is considered a A+ opponent ...

they will be fighting marginally risky opponents.

maybe barrera will fight pac but it seems more likely some
other belt holding bum. delahoya admittedly needs a warmup.

It would proably be Bojado or Daniel Santos. Barrera proably facing Barrios or Juan Marquez

barrios maybe but not marquez...unfortunately

Imagine if its Barrera vs. Pacman and Oscar vs. Judah. Plus u add Oscar Larios and Lazcano and a 4round match with Abner mares. It would be the greatest PPV card ever (on paper)

haha yeah.

i think trinidad coming out of retirement to fight delahoya is more likely :D

damn for that card Oscar vs Tito , Pacman vs. Barrera and the rest of golden boy people, I would definietly pay $100 for it

this news means:

cupcake oscar will face

opponent "B" level for MAB

even though i doubt it that would be a awesome card if it was

barrera vs pac
oscar vs judah

that would never happen but that is well worht 50 bucks

never happen, strong is the darkside...

when is oscar going to step up and get knocked the **** out by zab :davil2: i really hope they have some quality opponents and not dlh v campas 2 and barrera v kelly 2

It could be Peden for Barrera

think oscar is fighting sturm?

hope not i dont want to see that guy fight

think oscar is fighting sturm?

oscar wants no part of sturm...

hopefully dlh vs. judah that would be great

It could be Peden for Barrera

I dont think Peden is an A+ fighta.

neways, I rate Barrios higha than Peden so it might be Barrios. That would be a good match also.

Oscar said in a recent interview that he only wants big fights and he wants Judah. Judah was the only name that came out of his mouth. I'd lay money that on the 17th we will be seeing a Judah vs DLH match. DLH is a seasoned pro who doesn't need or have time for a tune-up.

I dont think Peden is an A+ fighta.

neways, I rate Barrios higha than Peden so it might be Barrios. That would be a good match also.

I agree, but I hear it looks like Peden, he'll be fighting.

Two stoppage wins over Nate Campbell pretty much puts Peden in the top 5 at 130 lbs. He is as legit as anyone else and certainly as good as Barrios.

I think it's gonna be

Dela Hoya vs. Cosme Rivera

and

Barrera vs. Victor Polo




Bwahahahahahahahaha....That's worth like $2 in PPV. :D

lets hope so..and i wonder if judah will agree to allow dlh weigh in at 150

yea, but he aint elite.

2 decent guesses, here's my prediction:

DeLaHoya vs. Cory Spinks
Barrera vs. Barrios

spinks isnt in that division anymore

I think it's gonna be

Dela Hoya vs. Cosme Rivera

and

Barrera vs. Victor Polo




Bwahahahahahahahaha....That's worth like $2 in PPV. :D


considering Golden Boy Promotion's recent made fights, that's a big possiblity. hehehehehe.

I hope its De La Hoya vs. Judah...

I hope its De La Hoya vs. Judah...
No way is De La Hoya gonna return to a weight division he`s probably not 100% sure he can perform well in ( he is older, weight loss can kill you, ask Roy Jones ) and then sign to fight Judah who`s on a roll, perhaps quicker than Oscar, can punch AND is a southpaw. Not a chance!
Oscar will fight some one like Kermit Cintron or Ben Tackie.
Barrera Vs Marquez would make sense, more likely Robbie Peden!

Barrera could fight Cottos bother (I doubt it), Jose Miguel Cotto. Hes ranked 22 in the world,
ranked #9 on *********, other than that maybe Jorge Barrios.

DLH might fight Margarito, for a Mexican fight.

I think it's gonna be

Dela Hoya vs. Cosme Rivera

and

Barrera vs. Victor Polo




Bwahahahahahahahaha....That's worth like $2 in PPV. :D
its not a match.... its a stand-up comedy show

what are the chances of barrera moving up and fighting someone like arcelino or diego or maybe castillo?

that would be incredible. Barrera vs Corrales and Oscar vs Judah.

I dont see Oscar having any problems against Judah if Judah fights the same way he fought Spinks. Zab would need to throw a jab and run all over the place to last with Oscar, cause Oscar hits like a truck at that division and Zab doesnt have the power to hurt Oscar with a punch.

The only problem i can see is if Oscar crashes from the weight loss like Roy Jones did. Oscar did say he was at 154 the last week of training against B-Hop if thats true then he will be alright. But if he does have to crash in weight, he would have to rely in his heart and left hook cause his lagacy will be counting on it

Oscar is in need of a tune-up fight and I think that (assuming he is still going to fight at welterweight, and I have heard otherwise) Cory Spinks would be a pretty good opponent. I mean, he is coming off a loss, has been inactive for a while, does not have too much power, but is a tough boxer, and is reasonably well known-- that could do alot for De La Hoya. As for who Barrera is going to fight, I can't believe that he has anybody on his mind right now except Pacquiao, or maybe JMM coming up from featherweight. I would be suprised if he hopped back in against Morales and unless he wants the likes of Chavez or Hernandez then I don't see who is left for him at Jr. Lightweight.

Just wanted to bump the original thread back up.

btw, why the hell is Oscar suddenly coming in at 150 now? What happened to 147? And what does that mean for a fight against Judah?

Maybe there's been some behind the scenes talk between the two camps. Just pure specualtion here. But Zab wants to fight Oscar bad and maybe Oscar insisted they had to do it at 150. Guess you get to call the shots when you're a boxing superstar for little to know reason (well, at least in relation to what he's done in the last couple of years).

that would be incredible. Barrera vs Corrales and Oscar vs Judah.

The only difference between Oscar's weight loss and Roy's is that Roy was ripped even at 200, Oscar hasn't really been ripped since he left 147, maybe even before that. Losing fat drains you enough, but deteriorating muscle mass in order to lose weight, now that's murder...
