Both Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather took part in the mandatory WBC 7-day safety weight check-ins from their respective training camps. Stepping on the scale in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and overseen by the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission President, Jose Penagaricano, De La Hoya weighed 158 pounds. "I'm ready and eagerly awaiting the sound of the bell." Mayweather weighed in at the Las Vegas offices of Dr. Robert Voy. Dr. Cary Logan witnessed as Mayweather stepped on the scale and weighed 150 pounds. "Nothing left to say. I am in tremendous shape and ready to go."

1 week out and Oscar is only 4 pounds over

I think Oscar's hand speed (jab in particular) will surprise a lot of people.

Hopefully for his sake it will be faster than it was against Mayorga

I think you will find his game plan in that fight compared to this fight are polar opposites.

I'm hoping Oscar will look very similar to the one we saw in Hoya v Mosley II.
