Your thoughts from the press conference to the fight, did you think de la Hoya was gonna win ? Were you shocked how bad Oscar whooped him after coming back to the sport?
Build up was hilarious and the fight lived up.
the fight happened on the same night the Lakers played the Suns in Game 7 of the playoffs that year. I had to be somewhere to keep an eye on both....and during the undercard the game turned to a blowout during the 1st quarter so that blew. once the main event started everyone paid attention to the fight and it made for great atmosphere, especially during that first knockdown
The Mayorga-De La Hoya countdown was one of the best ever.
Always a big Mayorga fan and even he said that was one fight he had no excuse for losing. DLH beat him straight up.
