Tonight is the night, the return of the "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya. After being away from the ring for almost two years, Oscar De La Hoya (37-4, 29 KOs) will return to the ring to challenge Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (28-5-1, 23 Kos) for his WBC junior middleweight title on Saturday, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Spending the better of the last two years as a promoter, Oscar prepares to lace up the gloves for battle. The most popular non-heavyweight boxer in pay-per-view history is still the biggest box office draw in the sport.
De La Hoya has won titles in six different weight divisions: 130, 135, 140, 147, 154 and 160. When he challenges Mayorga on Saturday night, he will be making his 28th appearance in a world championship match. The animosity is strong as both men almost came to blows at numerous press conferences and during the taping of a pre-fight video to hype the pay-per-view. Mayorga promises to knock De La Hoya out and has been verbally assaulting the Golden Boy at every corner in order to get inside his head. [details]
