Diego De La Hoya is from Mexicali, Mexico. He won the Gold medal in last year’s Youth National Olympics, and we are sure he will win this year again.
This year’s Youth National Olympics will start on Friday May, 29. I will try to keep this thread update and to upload some videos too.
Diego prepared very well for this tournament. He went to Cuba a month ago and fought to a guy who is a young Cuban star and a prospect for 2012 Olympics, Christian. Here are some pics..
The fight against Cristian was some years ago, I will ask his father if he has it or at least some pictures. He is single lol.
I am pretty sure he will be on TV soon, 1-2 years more
More things will be uploaded soon, thank you.
lol search his name on Google Images "Diego De La Hoya" and see what comes up...

Just a little update, now at 18 years old and getting ready for pro debut at the end of this year or beginning of next one. Here is a sparring with Randy Caballero, this happened about 9 months ago, he is the one in gray tank.
These are just flashes, obviously he has to work a lot but I will say he is ready fro pro
The good thing is that he improved a lot since the last video.. i will upload some of his fights soon so you guys can judge.. He has a Mayweather like counterpunching style, good footwork, and he likes to fight, so you wont see him running as mayweather.
cool, good post. i wish there was more coverage on the AM scene around here. i know he's a junior and will fill out with age, but he looks small. what weight is he fighting at?
He's 14 years old and will be fighting on 46 kg this year which is like 101 pounds. He is kind small. we hope that he grow to a super Batanweight at least.
He will be interview by a popular Mexican boxing radio station today. I hope i can record it an uploaded. I will upload his fights for sure by Next monday probably.
