How on Earth did De La Hoya beat Sturm?

[lyrical]

Because they (the promoters) wanted Hopkins/DeLa Hoya

Sometimes it not that the judges are blind but they has a choice:
1- make oscar win and be a rich man
2- make oscar lose and you would never become a boxing judge again


so many people would choose number 1.

Oscar has one of the most contervisal boxing career ever with Tito he got robbed and get got gifted many times too.

Behind his smile is one fearsome boxing politicans who is very influental. and how did he started his own promotional company that is pretty big right now and growed vvery fast

It was a close fight. Sturm wasnt robbed, but nobody should have complained if he had been awarded the fight either.

yeah it was close. about as close as calzaghe/kessler. we ALL know the fight was razor thin and Oscar would have won that fight if Sturm forgot to show up.

that's right, follow the money. play along or they will show you the way out.

[rebmogul]

i agree with you 100%.

But don't forget your boy erik morales was the recipient of a very nice gift himself back in 2000. Guty Espadas Jr. put it on his ass for the feather title and was ROBBED like Santa Cruz because they were setting up a show down with Barrera. Anyone remember seeing that fight?

This was Oscars first fight at 160 wasn't it?
Then amazingly Bore-Hard beat Oscar the Legendary Middleweight with his "Mad Skillz".

sturm got ROBBED. in the post fight interview you could tell de la hoya knew he was givin a gift in his expression alone

for me it was so hard to judge that fight , i really had no clue.i mean oscar was copping head shots, but he was also giving a lot of body shots.

It was perhaps a close fight, yeah. BUT no way Oscar won.
