De La Hoya Backs Banal, May Attend Bautista's Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

“The Golden Boy” of boxing Oscar De La Hoya believes in AJ “Bazooka” Banal and is confident the 19 year old will bounce back from his shock tenth round knockout at the hands of tough, 26 year old Panamanian Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion last Saturday. [details]

FYI. low potassium can also be from attempting to cut weight with diuretics! Another danger faced by fighters trying 2 get an advantage which could result in heart problems and death. Promoters don't care as long as their guy wins and they sell more seats. not accusing but creating awareness!

Geez - "De La Hoya Backs Banal" - Please, in the wake of Oscar's ****** scandal, could you boxing writers exercise a little more sensitivity?

[Chato]

de la hoya has always loved pinoys (not that there is anything wrong with that)
i wouldnt be surprised if pacquiao vs dlh turned into a rehearsed sparring session
why isnt he supporting the tons of mexican prospects? ive never seen an article of him coming to mexico to check how things are going

Banal should start cleaning his ass, I heard DLH packs a big one.

Agree..

Gran luchador agree, dont get why DLH wont expose more Latino fighters that are better prospects than these Pinoys?? Just feeding them with the worst of Mexico to build a name..Whats the big deal with Pinoy fighters? dont get it..

Latinos have a lot of help and exposure already. Asians don't.

Maybe like Marquez before him, Oscar digs Asian boys.

Well just look at the reporter, its our beloved Ronnie "I am Sri Linkan that lived in Philippines cuz i can't find a job in my own country and i will overexaggerate all my articles" Nathanielz.

Remember its a wannabe Filipino who wrote the article.

As far as Mexican prospects, you guys have plenty of support. Just look at the fighters in GBP and TR promotions, a lot of Mexicans and some of them prospects. With almost 30 mllion of Mexicans/Mexican Americans in the US, there will be plenty of support.

No more De La Hoya news please until he decides to fight or GTFOH.

Who wants to see a half dedicated fighter who cant make up his mind?
