Oscar De La Hoya has urged Floyd Mayweather Jr, the man who tightly outscored him over 12 rounds in 2007, to stop “embarrassing” himself in exhibitions and sort out his financial affairs.

Why to Watch: Hurd and Rosario were two of the top junior middleweights during an era when the 154-pound weight class featured a veritable round-robin. Many of the division’s contenders and titleholders faced each other en route to Jermell Charlo becoming the undisputed champion.
