Oscar says He's Gonna do It.

[Zab Super Judah]

Damn mayorga is cool and all but hes gonna get a beatdown. Not like the way tito did it but close

[Violent Demise]

it should be entertaining no matter how Oscar fights because Mayorga is insane

yes it will be

"It should be entertaining no matter how Oscar fights because Mayorga is insane."

This statement is the most accurate description of this fight. They should advertise the fight with this.

I'd be suprized if he elects to fight that way, because it wouldn't be very smart.

He doesn't have the power Tito used to break him down.

Oscar should pump the jab, and set up the hook. He doesn't need to run, just attack in spots and counter.

I definitely think he should fight smart as well, but I think Oscar could do ok on the inside. Even though he doesn't have Tito's power, he's smarter about going to the body. Tito would have had Mayorga out of there much earlier if he threw to the body more often. Oscar is pretty smart about doing that kind of thing. This fight is at a lighter weight and Mayorga may be in better shape, so maybe he won't have the same stamina problem.

Also, as it was discussed a couple of pages ago in this thread, the HBO preview for this fight really got me siked. I just don't understand why ESPN doesn't run previews like this on one of their 2,000 stations. I was watching this preview with a friend of mine who doesn't like boxing but after watching it he was like "man, I want to see that fight now!"

If ESPN would stop showing **** like the world juggling championships (no lie, I was home sick and they had two hours of juggling... what the hell) and show previews of big fights like this, maybe boxing would become more mainstream. Can't ESPN cut down their poker coverage from 8 hours a day to 6 and fit 2 hours of boxing coverage. Boxing happens everyday, all day yet the only thing you'll ever see is if a heavyweight "title" fight is taking place. I have friends who don't watch boxing b/c they say "boxing sucks now... who's even the heavyweight champion?" I try to explain that only the heavyweights suck... the rest of boxing in the lower weights is exceptional.

And why aren't weigh-ins shown? The only weigh-in I remember being shown was 5 minutes of the Ruiz-Jones Jr. weigh-in on ESPNews. And they cut that off before it was even finished. I mean come on ESPN, how many interviews can you have with Barry Bonds, Yankee players, Kobe Bryant or Terrell Owens in a day? They should have a 30 minute show a day that covers that week's fights, talk about big fights and then show clips of some up-and-comers. That way, people who only know heavyweights will get to know more of the real players in boxing and will be more interested in seeing their fights.

Sorry for the rant.

If you have satellite, would you be able to pick up TSN from Canada? They have a boxing show called "In this corner" with Russ Anber. This is TSNs boxing schedule ... http://www.tsn.ca/boxing/tv_schedule.asp?sport=BOXING

I can't stand De La Hoya, but he's done his part to make boxing big again (since the Fabulous Four). Think about it. Almost ever year since 1999 Oscar has consistently made the biggest fight he could that helped put boxing back on the spotlight that year. Trinidad in 99, Mosley in 00, Vargas in 02, Mosley again in 03, Hopkins in 04, and now Mayorga in 06. ****, he might even fight Mayweather next, which is why I want DLH to win.

On the other hand, who doesn't love Mayorga? I'm all for him winning as long as it's by a knockout.

Shame we never got to see Mayorga-Vargas and probably won't.
