DeLahoya VS Mayorga

[MileHighStud]

This saturday they will be getting it on in the Squared circle. Any predictions, Hopeful wishes or both? Personally I hope Oscar breaks this guys face through and through. :fight:

[MileHighStud]

Whats the deal? Nobody likes BOXING?

[Freestyle]

I'm not a religous follower, but Mayorga is gonna kill him.

[RunByDesign]

Golden Boy is gonna wreck the Nicaraguan. ;)

[MileHighStud]

I'm not a religous follower, but Mayorga is gonna kill him.

What does religion have to do with it? lol :confused:

[BayAreaBronco]

This fight should be very interesting.

[bcbronc]

the golden boy is probably my all time favourite boxer, but i think mayorga will win this weekend. should be a good fight though.

[BayAreaBronco]

Didn't Mayorga say something to likes of, "I'll let you hold my belt for one night with your wife" ?

Low blow!:fight:

[orangenblue420]

I thought De La Hoya retired? Isnt he old now :confused:

[MileHighStud]

Didn't Mayorga say something to likes of, "I'll let you hold my belt for one night with your wife" ?

Low blow!:fight:

He had said that Delahoya shouldnt let his wife screw him the morning of the fight so he doesnt come up with excuses like my back hurts etc. I think that is what he said. The deal is mayorga feels disrespected because of the way Oscar had been talking about this fight as though mayorga is a nothing. Personally I think it is all to piss oscar off and make him come out like vernon forrest and fight mayorga fights, resulting in a early round knockout. But Oscar IMHO is too smart for that. Should be a good treat.

[armedequation]

mayorga is a joke. Talking all this crap about pulling out of the fight. He should shut his mouth until after the fight cause he took the pre fight drama way too far.

If mayorga wins its because de la hoya hasnt been in the ring in forever. I believe thats the only reason why he took this fight.

[MileHighStud]

yeah, I agree. It has been a while since delahoya has faught. The thing that gets me is that Delahoya faught sugar shane twice and lost both times, mayorga defeated shane. :confused: Hopefully oscar can pull it off.

[armedequation]

yeah, I agree. It has been a while since delahoya has faught. The thing that gets me is that Delahoya faught sugar shane twice and lost both times, mayorga defeated shane. :confused: Hopefully oscar can pull it off.

both victories for mosely against del la hoya were very suspect. In fact most analysts will tell you that hoya won both fights. I thought so as well

no, i disagree. i thought sugar shane clearly won the first fight (and im a huge de la hoya fan). but the second fight was a rip off, freakin scam, piece o crap.

de la hoya is just too old now. he's one of the greatest of all time, imo (not THE, one off), but mayorga is just too strong for him.

i expect it to be a good fight, with de la hoya going down late. then he will rise off the canvas and sign mayorga to a lucrative promotion contract.

[MileHighStud]

Yeah I agree Shane clearly won the first fight. :coffee:

I highly doubt that de la hoya will sign mayorga after all the crap that came out of his mouth. I think mayorga is better suited for TNA wrestling than boxing. After reading some more about this fight I think the fight will go the distance with hoya getting the decision. Hoya has fought against people that had mayorga's style and has done fine. The only way I see mayorga winning is by getting a lucky shot.

[MileHighStud]

YEAH BABY I had hoped that Oscar would take that win by beating the **** out of him. Oscar handed his a55 to him. KO in the 6th. Hooray for the golden boy.

Thats what Mayorga gets for talking so much smack about Oscar and his lady... :fight:

[armedequation]

guess the golden still has it! So this is potentially setting up a meeting between him and pretty boy floyd. I would love to see floyd get beat by hoya on the golden boys way out.

All this talk about floyd being the best pound for pound is crap. If he wants proof of what it takes to have that title then he should look at hoya when oscar was in his prime.

I'm sorry, but Floyd would destroy De la Hoya, Mayorago was not an accomplished fighter, just a little punk who talked alot of trash. Floyd is confident, quick, strong, and is just an incredible fighter, I like the golden boy but he would lose that one... :coffee:

everyone thinks the world of mayweather, but myself and a couple of others see right through him. Floyd is the product of what happened when managers pick the right fights for him. The only reason floyd fought gatti was because he knew his speed would overwhelm gatti. It was a classic mismatch of boxing styles. The judah fight was the best competition in the ring (notice I said competition not fighter) which isnt saying much.

Floyd is making a habit of ducking fighters that could actually beat him. After the gatti fight, he said publicly that he would like to fight winky wright. Wrights managers threw a contract on the table and floyd backed down which only means floyd was trying to get publicity. Just recently floyd backed down from a fight with antonio margarito, which would be the best match up in boxing style in floyd's career. If floyd would have fought winky he would have been outmatched as well

[MileHighStud]

Well it looks like Mayweather is pretty much 95% oscars next bout. In my opinion if Delahoya were to keep showing images of his old self, He may actually have a chance. What do you guys think?

ya, that was a little tongue in cheek because it seems everyone de la hoya has fought the last few years ends up with golden boy promotions.

but looks like you were right in your prediction. i didnt think oscar would be able to stand up to the physicallity of mayorga, but im glad he pulled it out. i didnt watch the fight though. how was it?

i dont agree completely with what you are saying about mayweather. before the gatti fight, i also thought jr was way overrated. i thought he was just a paddy-caker that used his speed to stay out of harms way and to score enough to win rounds. but, while what you say about styles between gatti and mayweather is bang on, the fact is that gatti is a warrior and mayweather destroyed him. mayweather made a believer out of me that fight, and backed it up agains zab (although judah did better than i thought he would going in).

but as for winky and margarito, i hope mayweather does fight one or both. the problem is (for mayweathers camp) is that neither is a big enough name outside hard core boxing fans, so the pay-per-view draw wont be high enough. i think mayweather feels the risk (both could beat him) to reward (not huge dollars, most likely) makes those guys unattractive options at the moment.

but a floyd/oscar fight would be entertaining. i would bet on floyd but it would be a good fight. in oscars first fight against sugar shane, he showed he has problems adjusting when his opponent is faster than he is. i definately think at this point in their careers mayweather is the faster man.

[Dry Kill Logic]

Wright would kill mayweather. I think wright is the best pound for pound boxer right now. He has lost fights that he clearly won. Like when he fought vargas. I would like to see mayweather fight Kosta Tzyu (sp) he fought Zab a few years back Tzyu walked right threw zabs punches in the second rd and knocked him out.

to another wright fan!!! :beer:

wow, lol many people dont know who wright is even though he's destroyed Tito and sugar shane. And yes he did win that fight against Vargas, and that was when vargas had the fire he lacks now.

I'd also like to see him fight barrera or pacquio, mainly pacqiuo. Manny's power would floor him

[Freestyle]

i didnt watch the fight though. how was it?

Awesome fight (if you like Mayorga getting knocked around).

Oscar just had good strategy in this fight and he outclassed Mayorga all the way through.

I think mayorga is overrated honestly. He's a tough strong competitor but if your a good technical boxer you should be able to beat him.

[RunByDesign]

Golden Boy is gonna wreck the Nicaraguan. ;)

I told you so. :wave:

[RunByDesign]

Best quote from the broadcast: (Larry Merchant) "DeLaHoya blocks punches with his gloves, Mayorga blocks punches with his head."

LMFAO

[Dry Kill Logic]

Thank you for the link. That was great. I have got to get this on tape. He crushed the man and then was all class afterwards. He will kill mayweather. Floyd is faster but Oscar has the power and the skill. Oscar by KO in the 4th.

i dont know about that. oscar definately looked better than he has in years in that fight, but i dont see him knocking floyd out by the 4th.

before watching that fight i would have given oscar no chance. but oscar seems to have returned to his optimal fighting weight. his combination of size and speed will definately give mayweather his best test yet.

but i still think mayweather will still be faster than oscar. the only time i can remember oscar not being the faster man in the ring was the first fight against sugar shane, and oscar didnt handle it very well.

i cant wait though. woot-woot, that will be a kick-ass fight!

I am a huge Tito Fan and I would agree that Wright Dominated the scorecard but was far from destroying Trinidad. It really didnt look like Trinidad wanted that fight, it was a huge disapointment for us Tito fans.

Yeah he did. It was a completely lopsided fight. Oscar had a chance to put him away earlier in the fight when he stunned mayorga in the corner but didnt capitolize on it, he got a mouthfull from his corner about that.

sorry, bad choice of words. He made Tito look like an amateur. Fighting Winky gets most fighters very frustrated as they cant hit him period. But dont worry...he made sugar shane look even worse than tito

[RunByDesign]

Don't be fooled by Oscars' performance.

He beat a one dimensional fighter, at best, who insulted his wife.

The only real chance DLH would have against PBF is if Floyd made Oscar really angry.

Floyd is younger, faster and technically superior.

I think delahoya said before this fight that he would be fighting in the fall. Hopefully this will be the matchup, what a great fight it would be. Oscar VS Floyd

Well I'm one of the few who think Oscar beat cheato trinadad in thier fight. Oscar punished him and out boxed him. If boxing means you are scared and running then Ali won about 4 fights because that is what he did. He hit your a** and then moved away.
So I guess he was a scared.

If you remember the fight between Zab and Tszyu. Jab was faster but could not hurt Tszyu. In the second Tszyu walked through Zabs punches and Ko'd his butt. Same will happen in a Mayweather vs. Oscar fight.

tszyu got lucky. zab was too cocky and underestimated kosta. kosta had the punchers chance and cashed it in.

but i do agree with your take on oscar/tito fight. oscar had the fight in the bag, and then decided to coast in. but oscar learned his lesson in that fight and had closed fights much more aggressively since.

[bcbronc]

i think it more drew attention in the inner circles of boxing and with the more hard core fans. i dont think too many casual fans would pay money to see floyd vs winky, at least not before floyd beat gatti and zab. he's now become a pay-per-view draw in his own right, but i think thats mostly the result of his last couple of fights.

and winky is definately not a big draw to the casual fan. personally i love to watch him box, but hes not exactly flashy. but winky/jermain should be a good fight. i think winky will win. taylor squeaked out wins against the executioner, but winky fights all 12 rounds, not just the last 6 like hopkins. i dont think taylor is a well-rounded enough fighter to deal with winky's defense (although i do like taylor).

if mayweather and winky fought, i think mayweather would win. the thing here is that winky is not a knock out fighter, and i dont think he can out-score mayweathers speed. i actually think this might be a 'boring' fight, but very technical and strategic. i think mayweather would use his superior hand speed to patty cake points and win rounds. if winky wants to stay in his shell, i dont see him being able to land enough to win a decision. if winky opens up and tries to be more aggresive, hes not fighting his style and mayweather would capitalize, imo.

i do think mayweather beats winky, but id be cheering loudly for the wright man to win ;) .

[MileHighStud]

Winky doesnt have much power though. He has speed, but in some of the fights I had seen him in he didnt have much power.

[DevilSpawn]

If you remember the fight between Zab and Tszyu. Jab was faster but could not hurt Tszyu. In the second Tszyu walked through Zabs punches and Ko'd his butt. Same will happen in a Mayweather vs. Oscar fight.
Who cares about the fight, the highlight was when Zab Judah did the Harlem Shake after getting knocked down. The funniest sports moment I've ever seen in my life hands down.

i especially like how he pointed at kosta as if he was saying "why you little rat" before he fell on his face again. :laugh:

[MileHighStud]

Anybody catch that Ricky Hatton fight? They replayed the Mayorga Delahoya fight on HBO and had these two guys go at it for the WBC title (In there division). That was a pretty good fight. Hatton took it.

[j3phr3y]

I think Write will lose his next fight. Jermain Taylor is too much for him.

[MileHighStud]

I would love to see wright get beat down!! He beat my boy Tito.
