I'd like to see this fight happen soon to see if Ike has what it takes to fight at a high level again. Would this be a good fight for Ike as a comeback & could he win this fight or not?
I thought De La Hoya lost that fight by about 2 rounds. Ike easily won rounds 5-10 with Hoya winning the 11 & 12 big. The 1st 4 rounds were close because Ike would control alot of the action off his jab but Hoya would try & flurry the last 10 seconds of those rounds but got rocked a couple of times. So he stopped trying to flurry.
i gave the trinidad-DLH fight to DLH 7-5 at worst, the quartey fight i've only seen 6 and 12 but i guess round 12 really saved DLH, because of the knock-down. what was you scorecard on the IKe-dlh fight?
I didn't actually score the fight and it has been years since I've seen it. If I remember right though I thought Ike was up by a couple of rounds, and when the fight was over I figured worst case scenario would be a draw, even with the 12th I didn't think DLH won.
I thought Ike won the fight, but it wasn't a horrible decision either. I have never really cared for DLH much, but that was one hell of a final round in that fight. Makes me wonder what happened to him against Trinidad, where the fire went at the end.

Ike needs to shake off ring rust before fighting Mayorga. He should have at least a couple of fights against journeymen (like Mamadou Thiam or Bronco McKart) just to get his confidence up and dormant skills sharp again.
Ike at his peak would give 1-dimensional Mayorga a boxing lesson.
Wow I Didnt See Ike Fight Along Time
Ike was a beast at one point. If you can get your hands on some of his fights you'll see. He man handled alot of fighters in his prime. De La Hoya was very intimidated by him in their fight.
this would be a good fight but ike takes it late with an 11th round tko. thats if he comes in shape and fights like the old ike
the old ike would give mayorga a boxing lesson, which i'd love to see. ike needs a couple of tuneups before he'll be ready for mayorga, but i don't think it'll be all that tough for him. mayorga will brawl and stick out his chin like he always does, ike has the better skills, but ring rust will give mayorga chances. i'd like to see ike beat at least two contenders / B level fighters before he takes on the nicaraguan
Ike has fought so very little he would need at least 5 fights just to see what he has left. He can't possibly fight Mayorga now and hope to win. He's beens gone too long
The guys has had 3 fights in last 6 years and has gone 1 - 2 in them. I think he needs a few more tune up fights, even thought I still believe that mayorga is a second class fighter with little skills but is just very entertaining and fun to watch.
