“Fighting Words” – And the Oscar Goes…

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by David P. Greisman - In the months since his one-sided loss to Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya has pondered whether to continue his career. Now De La Hoya has made his decision.

He’s just not telling us yet.

The official announcement won’t come until April 14, when, according to reports, the 36-year-old Golden Boy will hold a news conference in Los Angeles to say if he’s retiring or fighting on.

Now that De La Hoya has chosen what he will do, a heavy burden has been lifted from his shoulders and he has been able to put his thoughts elsewhere. Fortunately, we here at BoxingScene.com have obtained, through anonymous sources, De La Hoya’s personal diary.

Wow one of the greats of our generation is probably retiring after a devastating finish, losing a vast majority of his fanbase, but the hard working people here are kind enough to write up a gossip article about him. Hilarious stuff, it's good being reminded that the very same geniuses behind Teen magazine are also here delivering fascinating informative articles such as this one. Keep em coming, awesome..

This is bull****. Oscar De La Hoya should not be dissed like this. I'm very disappointed that boxings' most lucrative and popular star is being made fun of in this manner. DLH fights is what makes the sport at least a little bit mainstream. Disappointing article. smh.

Boxings biggest star isnt bigger than boxing itself, and he brought it to himself.

is article is bull****, near slanderous, how cant the single biggest contributor to the mainstream face of boxing in the modern era be ridiculed like this, ok so he has had a few awkward fights but come on he is on his way out he aint going to get better is he, he was just drained against pac and almost beat PBF the p4p number 1 and pac was number 2, i think he should come back have one or two more fights go out on a high and concentrate on developing the future of boxing.
