Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Says Southpaw Film is Mixed Bag of Tricks

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is a huge Jake Gyllenhaal fan. But ask him about the actor's latest film and the 10-time world champion does not hold back any punches on his criticism of the way the movie portrays the sport of kings.

In a sharply worded review for "The Hollywood Reporter," De La Hoya slams "Southpaw" as lapsing into common stereotypes about boxers and their behavior both in and out of the ring. He also called it "a bit over-the-top" at points.

A bit over the top? Sort of like dressing up in women's clothing? I thought the movie was one of the best movies ive seen in a long time. For a boxing flick. It was awesome. DLH needs to understand its a movie. Not real life!
