Let's not Get TOO Excited about Oscar !

I'm a huge Oscar fan and i loved every second of the 6 rounds but let's be realistic. Mayorga whilst a big hitter aint no PBF or Hatten. Mayorga's defensive skills are next to none and he should be picked apart by any truly elite boxer who can avoid his power shots like Oscar did. If Oscar brings that kinda fire and focus into a fight he is capable of beating anyone but he aint gonna walk over the likes of Hatten or PBF, he will still be a strong underdog DLH will beat Hatton but get killed by Pretty Boy.....

Fuck that. He had a great preformance after a 20 month layoff against a guy who many believed would knock him out. However, it was one of the most dominant preformances in recent memory. only ppl who thought mayorga would knock him out were ppl who know nothing about boxing..they just hear 2 names they they've heard before and get excited

This kind of resembles the latest Kostya Tszyu comeback when he came back and destroyed Mitchell, and then lost to Hatton in the fight following.

in mayorgas defense... he did stun delahoya... this would have been one hell of a fight if mayorga's chin wasnt so fuckin weak "in this fight"...he hit delahoya with some nice punches ... mayorga is still a dangerous fighter... Mayorga's chin wasnt all of a sudden weak in this fight, Oscar broke him off something.

Hatton, i think, is too small for Oscar, and would get countered into "bolivian" if he and Oscar ever fought.

Gotta' admit, DLH looked very good against a guy who is a 2nd-tier fighter. To now say he's "back" as your favourite seems a big stretch. Is he your favourite again because he is winning? Nah, because he is fighting again, and thats what made me a fan in the first place.

Agreed and I think he will give PBF a run for his money too.I am very excited to see that fight happen now..........I was skeptical before wondering how DLH would perform but he was great.

You didn't watch fight the fight very closely. Oscar has been out of the ring for almost 2 yrs and blocked/dodged most of Mayorga's punches. Mayorga throws from odd angles and with conviction, so of course he will land SOME of the time. No one KOs Mayorga in the 1st round at any point in Mayo's career.

Delahoya won, congratulations to him, but in his prime,the fight would have stopped in the first. He got caught with many wild shots including that uppercut that stunned him. He looked a bit slower in that fight. I'm not taking anything away from Oscar,just comparing him to his old self.

Oscar took care of Mayorga which is not a surprise, much better boxer all round. Mayorga is a rough brawler type lacking skills. I wouldn't make Oscar the underdog against Hatton, that's laughable, Hatton has a couple of good wins, Oscar has been fighting in world class since '94. Oscar would handle Ricky Hatton alright but ain't gonna be fighting him. Why should De La Hoya fight Hatton? What does he bring to the table for Oscar at this stage? Nothing. This is a business as well. Get over yourselves. Underdog against Floyd yes, against Hatton ha ha er... no. :D

De la Hoya is back to being my favorite fighter again. Gotta' admit, DLH looked very good against a guy who is a 2nd-tier fighter. To now say he's "back" as your favourite seems a big stretch. Is he your favourite again because he is winning?

Mayorga's record, stacked next to DLH's, pretty much is a comparison between mice-and-men in the boxing game.

LOL. Every single one of you guys are hypocrits, 99% of you were bashing Floyd saying how a fight with DLH would be easy and how he needs to fight margarito. Now you're all saying he is going to get his ass kicked all of a sudden? Are you guys retarded? You're basing this is off of mayorga? MAYORGA? WOW.

Dela Hoya vs. Mayweather can be the biggest lower-weight fight since the Sugar Ray Leonard days.

De la Hoya is back to being my favorite fighter again.

Great performance by De La Hoya. He easily knew how to supress Mayorga's attack with his defence (when a opponent only throws wild overhand rights and swinging left hooks to the body then a fighter with DLH's smarts has got it made) and his counter-punching and handspeed were as good as when he fought Vargas. Clearly, slagging Oscar off before you fight him is the worst thing you can do, because unless he has that sort of motivation he isn't the same fighter. He also showed a great chin because he soaked up that hard Mayorga uppercut in the second like a sponge. His power was good also but when you fight the Nicaraguan Micky Ward then landing shots isn't too much of a problem. Not taking anything away from the excellence of DLH but you have to ask much how the beating Mayorga took from Trinidad out of him. With skills like that, I think he should take on PBF. He's got the handspeed and power at that weight to give him a lot of trouble. PBF, Calzaghe and DLH are the only people with hands that fast that they use that effectively that I have seen fighting today. There's no way in hell Mayweather would knock out DLH, given the power he has lost to come up in weight again; DLH on the other hand is now a completely natural 154lb-er. It would be up to DLH to raise his motivation level again because I can't see PBF talking the shit that Mayorga did. I just hope that fight doesn't turn into a tactical stalemate and therefore a complete bore.

great win by Oscar. esp after a long layoff.

Oscar fought a great fight and showed the Mayorga that he can punch to. Oscar showed good defensive skills in parrying most of Matorga's wild hooks and picked his punches well not going for the knockout whenever Mayorga showed he was hurt. All in all it was a brilliant performance afetr the long lay off and i hope to see Oscar - PBF where i think Oscar might win if he shows the determination and punching accuracy he displayed last night

DLH is back! PBF is going to have a problem... It's not going to be easy.. Good fight though... DLH Vs PBF has to happen!
