Re: HBO's "Countdown to Delahoya-Mayorga" is a joke!!
this was the biggest joke for hyping up a fight. They pretty much were questioning oscar's whole career. from running in Tito's fight to supposedly taking a dive in Hopkin's fight. from losing concentration in boxing by recording an album to promoting other fighters fights.
Usually this countdown documentaries pump you up for the fight and sparks the anticipation. I confess that I wasn't going to buy Vargas-Mosley but watching the countdown pumped me up and I bought the fight which turned out to be a good one
But how can this one compel someone who is not a mainstream fan to buy the fight. The only reason I will be buying the fight is because it is one of Oscar's last ones.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
