Round by Round Coverage; Oscar De La Hoya vs. Ricardo Mayorga

By Rick Reeno

Tonight is the night, the return of the "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya. After being away from the ring for almost two years, Oscar De La Hoya (37-4, 29 KOs) will return to the ring to challenge Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (28-5-1, 23 Kos) for his WBC junior middleweight title on Saturday, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Spending the better of the last two years as a promoter, Oscar prepares to lace up the gloves for battle. The most popular non-heavyweight boxer in pay-per-view history is still the biggest box office draw in the sport.

De La Hoya has won titles in six different weight divisions: 130, 135, 140, 147, 154 and 160. When he challenges Mayorga on Saturday night, he will be making his 28th appearance in a world championship match. The animosity is strong as both men almost came to blows at numerous press conferences and during the taping of a pre-fight video to hype the pay-per-view. Mayorga promises to knock De La Hoya out and has been verbally assaulting the Golden Boy at every corner in order to get inside his head.

Are sanctioning bodies simply part of the game, or have they completely lost control of the sport? We also take a hard look at the Ring title and ask whether it can still be considered legitimate if champions are not required to defend it.
