Cinco De Mayo!!

[DiegoFuego]

Is Cinco De Mayo a specific date or just the first Saturday in May? Please explain, thanks.

Derby is first Saturday in May. Cinco de Mayo is what it says: the 5th of May.

Oscar usually tries to fight Cinco de Mayo weekend, which could mean fighting on the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th depending on where it falls. Basically, Oscar fights on Derby day, whether or not it happens to be Cinco de Mayo.

Ah, so i'm guessing Cinco is 5 and Mayo is May? Why is it such a big holiday though? What are they actually celebrating? Thanks.

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration in Mexico, not in the U.S., the ones that celebrate it in the states are obviously us Mexicans. Its the day Mexico won their independence from France.

I will now bump this, after posting it 6 months ago. It is finally here.

"Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya will beat Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather Jr. tonight in 12 round decision. Oscar will celebrate by wearing his sombrero and eating his tacos and burritos on Cinco De Mayo!

My heart say Oscar by Ko, but my brain say Mayweather by close decision. So Mayweather by close decision, but i hope Oscar can catch him with a huge left hook. Go Oscar !

cinco De Hoya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SonnyG8R]

what exactly is the point of the thread? The fight is over 6 months away. Anything can happen in that time. De La Hoya is notorious for pushing back big fights, part of the mind games and I would love to place a bet that he does the same thing here.

You were wrong. Again...

[SonnyG8R]

Just out of curiosity, do any non-Mexicans actually care about May 5th? I mean if there was not a big fight tonight, would anyone care about this so called holiday? Before some idiot gets offended, I'm not flaming, just asking...
