Comments Thread For: Ike Quartey Wants Rematch if De La Hoya Comes Back: 'Vengeance is Sole Motivation'

B-Hop dropped AND stopped ODH

Narciso Valenzuela and Giorgio Campanella also dropped De La Hoya.

And Quartey was definitely robbed of a decision win that night.

This was a great fight, could have went either way.

This would be a great comeback for Oscar, they could settle the score and Oscar could see what he has left.
Make it happen.

I thought Oscar won the first fight.

Quartey blew it in the 12th round.

Talk about sleepless nights

Prime Quartey beats all the current welters.

One of the greatest jabs of all time and the only man to drop Dee La Hoya.

de la hoya was dropped early in his career on espn lol . I can't think of the guy's name right now but it's on the tip of my tongue. He was dropped by Sweet pea in their fight 1997, then Quartey.

yes Campanella and Valenzuela too.that was a great opening round. i forgot about that one. but yes Quartey was robbed. I really didn't have that as a close fight. I gave quartey 7 of the first 8 rounds. He would outjab De la hoya all round and then with 10 seconds left, DLH would throw an 8 punch combination to Quartey's elbows as Lampley and the crowd would go crazy. Punches blocked by the elbows are NOT body shots. That fight was a disgrace. The funny thing is that I gave dlh the trinidad fight and I felt he was robbed in that one. He should have been so far ahead going into the 9th that giving away the last 4 rounds shouldn't have mattered.

cant believe that was 23 years ago...I will have to rewatch, I remember thinking Oscar pulled it out with that last round.

Agreed on the Trinidad fight, I thought Oscar won that one as well.

But the Quartey fight was the perfect example of how the whole career of Oscar De La Hoya was pushed forward. He won several fights thanks to butterfly flurries and screaming chicks in the audience who made it look like he was killing the opponent.
