Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya To Box Former UFC Star Vitor Belfort In PPV Exhibition September 11

Crazy stuff

Oscar could still do good numbers. He was a crossover star when boxing was a much more mainstream draw.
I doubt he goes head to head with Canelo unless it’s just pure pettiness.

[Amir Imam]

Is this how we're going to balance out these crossover fights by the boxer being at a gigantic size disadvantage?
I preferred the Eddie Alvarez fight or someone in between. Vitor is twice Oscars size and then some

Yea this is the only thing I don’t like about these exhibitions. They aren’t meant to be for fun but the weight advantages are ludicrous.

This will be a huge event. YUGE.

Oscar is a sad case these days due to drugs and booze and him being anywhere near a ring other than the safe side will always be a concern.

"TRT Vitor!" lol

I know Vitor very well, remember him back in those PRIDE FC Days as well was always a good Striker and always had fans hands and good boxing for a MMA Guy but he stamina was always terrible so in boxing he will gas very early and even a Old Oscar will be able to pick him apart

Still Canelo vs Plant> this fight though no question BUT they can always go a Week Early on September 11th which honestly might actually be even better for that fight

Lol, Vitor can be on all the sh^t he wants to be, he's getting his a$$ whooped.

Right on. Vitor's hands at his best were mediocre.

Victor isn't all that much bigger. He's 6", Oscar is 5'10". I'd say Oscar has been walking around at about 170+ these days. I like Oscar's skills to beat Victor's size any day. Oscar has been looking pretty good in training for a guy who is 47 and hasn't been in the ring for 13 years.

He is a good 6' and probably walks around at a lean 210-220lbs

This is a recent pic of him next to Gilbert Burns who is around Oscars height & walks around at over 190lbs

I think you'll be very surprised. He might not tower over him from a height perspective but he is twice as big as a pudgy 170lb at best Oscar.
Look at the size of his wrist.

I've lost count of all the PPVs on tap for this year.

[AeroED]

I’d buy this ppv over canelos . Hopefully it’s the same day.
