He just seemed slow and cumbersome, didnt look like the old de la hoya at all. Just didnt seem right - and then the "KO", come on....so was this fight fixed? I find it strange how they become close business partners soo soon afterwards...
Man it is fun to play "what if" my sport is fake...I enjoy thinking about how the sport that I am in love with is o so similiar to the WWE or WWF or whatever the fuck they call it now.
Man your right this What if stuff is alot of fun...
Cooler you owe me $20 bucks for being stupid, PM me and I will give you my address. it's OK to live in denial..
BTW, $20 is all you want for "your sport"
No wonder DLH and DKP and the rest are so successful screwing guys like you in the business... it's a pity :cool:
come on scap, give it a rest..
The whole thing was planned from way in advance...
Watch Hopkins get nervous when DLH is fighting Sturm...
The whole thing was a flake!
Not sure about all the details, but perhaps this was the scenario:
1- DLH makes money on Hopkins/Eastman AND DLH/Sturm
Pays the judges for the STOLEN belt (Sturm)
2- Then he HANDS the belt unifying Hopkins, keeps the money for the fight as for the shares in the GBProd and makes Hopkins partner thereafter.
I mean those are horrible accusations, but it's just a "what if.."
All I can say and I'm a HUGE DLH Fan... that whole schema was too fishy

Comparing the Oscar/Nard fight with a 23 year old chick and a old ass millionaire is not even close to the same...AKA if this is your reasonng then you do think the fight was fixed because a 23 year old chick is with an old man for the money period.
Just come out and say the fight was fixed, then tell me who killed Kennedy and why.
Ridiculous!
i wasn't comparing the 2 scenarios evenly, just showing you a case of no real evidence, but circumstantial ones... look, i dont believe the fight was fixed, but i dont argue with anyone who thinks it was because it certianly smells fishy....

It was a big money fight with DLH should he win, even if B-Hop loses. The guy's biggest payday is on the line, and he shouldn't be nervous? Are you fucking retarded?
im not suggesting he was faking it - but come on...going straight into a business partnership...the thumping of his fist repeatedly with force into the canvas...?? i dont buy it...sumting was up. De la hoya had huge heart - if he had enuff energy to thump his fist down the way he did, i reckon he cud have got up - but i reckon sumting else was going down.
Just tap yourself under the right ribcage area. You can feel a bit of pain from a very light shot there. Now, imagine a guy throwing a powershot to that spot. Imagine the pain. It's not a matter of energy, it's crippling pain that kept him down. Very few guys get up from a shot like that, even though they have enough energy. It just hurts like hell.

there is no real evidence, just circumstantial ones(odd KO, uneventful prior to KO, business partners afterwards)... its kinda like a 23 year old model marrying a 70 year old millionare, you cant prove she did it for the money, but there's room for doubt..
i have the same opinion about the "wlad was drugged conspiracy", there's no evidence, but given the odd circumstances, it could have happened

What circumstantial evidence??? (There is absolutely ZERO evidence to suggest the fight to be FIXED, yet you are still on the fence...interesting)
You are acting like it is a 50-50 deal here???
If we are to use your logic then just about every fight should come into question which is exactly what our sport needs!

sorry, but with all the circumstantial evidence, i cant honestly say that i know for sure the fight wasnt fixed... maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, i dont know... thats just my honest opinion...

The simple fact that you leave the door open to the fight being FIXED is bullshit.
Sure your not saying the fight was fixed flat out but your certainly not saying the fight wasnt fixed and coming from a cult fan that is just as bad!

i didnt say the fight was fixed... i'm just saying the arguement that oscar could have made money fighting anybody doesnt rule out that the fight could have been fixed... look at this way, oscar coud get millions for a real fight with a tough opponent or get millions in a fixed fight with a future business partner... i'm not saying it was fixed, but IF it was, there is certainly enough motive there for it...

Your a boxing fan right GURU???
When two marquee names like Oscar Delahoya and Bernard Hopkins are involved in a fight and a real cult fan like yourself brings up the word FIXED...you are doing a big diservice to the sport!
Oscar and Nard...in a fixed fight...cmon man do you really believe that???
Let the casual gay ass sport fan talk about boxing and it being phony or a fixed sport...cult fans like you should no better!

oscar could have fought anybody and made alot of money... but IF the fight with nard was "fixed" than he made alot of money and didnt have to go through a real fight to make it...

how can you say he was scared? He didnt have to fight Bernard he could have fought any Welterweight and dominate the whole division or at Junior Middleweight and still get the same money he got.
Exactly, he could have fought you or me or my neighbor...hell he could have fought your neighbor too and made close to the same money.
People who say he fought Nard for the paycheck...guess what...you could not be more wrong!
But I can understand how you could make that mistake, I mean we are talking about Bernard Hopkins hear...shit didnt he make a shitload for fighting that Hakkar guy?
Paycheck + Hopkins = dead wrong!

De la hoya was scared and quit at the first opportunity he had! If you re-watch the knockdown, he almost missed the opportunity by waiting 5 seconds too long to fall from the mediocre shot to the liver. I don't care what anyone says, De la hoya quit in that fight and wasn't hurt bad at all! It is so much more obvious by their partnership now.
