Oscar De La Hoya: record, next fight and profile →
The highly anticipated streaming bout between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Hold up. Streaming bout? That doesn’t sound right. How about blockbuster bout? No, that can’t be it. Blockbusters are a thing of the past.
LAS VEGAS – Oscar De La Hoya’s confidence in Canelo Alvarez often has prompted him to predict knockouts before the Mexican superstar’s fights. De La Hoya’s respect for Daniel Jacobs’ will prevented him from doing that Tuesday. Alvarez’s promoter believes it’s more likely that Alvarez will beat Jacobs on points when they fight Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has supported the words of his star fighter, Canelo Alvarez, who recently stated that Gennady Golovkin would need to win a world championship in order to land the opportunity of a trilogy fight in September.
It’s been a good 2019 so far for boxing’s 21-and-under stars of tomorrow. Teofimo Lopez went from popular Fortnite in-ring dancer to now viewed as a formidable opponent for Vasiliy Lomachenko, arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter.
Oscar De La Hoya promoted a good number of fights of Daniel Jacobs and this allowed him to realize what the 'Miracle Man' is capable of, he knew his virtues and also his defects. So De La Hoya believes that if the New Yorker goes out to knock out Canelo Alvarez on May 4, then he could be the one who could end up getting knocked out.
Gennady Golovkin dropped a bombshell Wednesday when he announced that he was parting from longtime trainer Abel Sanchez. Oscar De La Hoya believes Golovkin is using Sanchez as the scapegoat for his first career loss that came against De La Hoya’s fighter, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya believes that a future all-Mexican showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia is certainly possible somewhere down the line. This past Saturday night, Munguia badly struggled to win a twelve round majority decision over Dennis Hogan to retain the WBO junior middleweight title.
According to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, who promotes Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, the Mexican superstar is potentially going to fight again in Mexico sooner than later. De La Hoya said that "it is very possible (for Canelo to fight in Mexico), and we have already had talks with certain people that I can not mention, but it is very possible."
Rising lightweight star Ryan Garcia (18-0, 14 KOs) of Victorville, Calif. viciously stopped Jose Lopez (20-4-1, 14 KOs) of Carolina, Puerto Rico at the end of two rounds of a scheduled 10-round battle that headlined a stacked night of Golden Boy action. Garcia put Lopez down in the second round, and the Puerto Rican boxer's camp stopped the fight when he returned to the corner.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar de la Hoya landed Tuesday night in China ahead of his meetings with top Chinese promoter Liu Gang, and to attend regional WBA and OPBF title clashes between world-ranked Chinese, Thai and Japanese fighters this Saturday, March 30, at the plush Putou Indoor Stadium in the legendary eastern Chinese City known as "The Pearl of the Orient," Shanghai.
