Planned September 16 fight could be delayed
WBC super welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya tore a muscle in his left forearm on Saturday night during his demolition of Ricardo Mayorga in Las Vegas. According to the L.A. Times, he is also suffering from a slight tear of the rotator cuff. "I will not have surgery on my rotator cuff," he told the paper. "I will try to let it heal on its own along with medication." He did not specify what actions will be taken for the forearm injury. The Golden Boy has mentioned Floyd Mayweather Jr., Winky Wright and Ricky Hatton as possible opponents in what could be Oscar's last fight, tentatively slated for September 16 provided his injuries are healed in time. Mayweather Jr., is the son of Oscar's trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who is against an Oscar-Floyd Jr. clash.
