Oscar: I'll be faster and stronger!

[WOLFP]

the only way DLH will win is by controvertial desision,

im with ya there Purist

the Sturm fight wasn't a lopsided fight at all though the worst i saw DLH doing was a draw that is it!

And I don't really see what the big deal about Hopkins is, most of his title defences have been against mediocre fighters, and Trinidad didn't really put his heart into their fight so wouldn't even count that as a big victory! DLH by UD even maybe late stoppage and I'll put my house on it lol

ODH got taught how to counter and score with harder shots against Strum. You scoring the same as the amatures there or what? You cant score checked shots and glances ,this is the pros.

[dramaking]

Oscar always rises for the big fights, Controversial or not, Oscar is gonna get the Deciscion

[Drunken Monkey]

Oscar has to hurt Bernard to win. We saw how all his quick and clean combos were picked off and walked through by Strum, again i ask, how the f**k is Oscar going to keep B-Hop out of his ass? He's gonna get in there and make oscar his bitch. The ONLY chance Oscar has is if Hopkins decides to get old that night. But hey, crazier things have happened.



Hopkins within 8.

I also think that Oscar just may fight one of his best fights hes fought in awhile on the night of the Hopkins fight! But unless this fight is so close that they call it a split decision and give it to Oscar and I wouldn't doubt it for a second even though your suppose to beat a champion convincingly! I see know way Bernard Hopkins wont beat him that night because hes still the champion! Like I said Oscar might fight his best fight in a long time but just can't see him beating Bernard Hopkins straight out that night not by what I saw in the Strum fight! I still will be rooting for Oscar but he just didn't look good in that fight at that weight its going to make a difference and did against Strum. Bernard is a whole different story he knows how to win when its time to step up just as Oscar did at the lower weights but this fight is at middleweight and Bernard is a naturel middleweight with much more power than Strum! I even think Tito has a much better chance of beating Hopkins than Oscar! I hope the winner faces Trinidad if everything goes well in the Mayorga vs Trinidad fight and I see know reason why not Tito can box much better than most boxers that have beat Mayorga so far and thats where he has his problems is against boxers so I think Mayorga is in trouble anytime in that fight unless he just flat gets lucky early but Tito has been touched by harder hitters so think even if that happened he'd get right back up and finish hard as he has in his past! Only time he didn't was against Hopkins but I think hes gonna get another shot at it real soon! ! !

Oscar: I'll be faster and stronger!
Oscar De La Hoya said today in San Juan "....I promise I'll be in my best condition ever....I'll weigh a max of 155 to 156 pounds...I'll be fast and I'll use my all of hand speed to beat Hopkins on Sept. 18." De La Hoya, in San Juan to receive the WBO middleweight title belt, was very upbeat throughout the press conference. Bernard Hopkins was also there, adding "congratulations Oscar. You won the WBO belt. "You can enjoy carrying it around for 90 days, then you'll be turning it over to me. I want all four title belts when I walk out of the ring on Sept. 18." After the press conference, De La Hoya took a flight to Los Angeles. Hopkins will stay in San Juan on Friday night and be at ringside for the Top Rank/Telefutura fight card which features Henry Bruseles vs. Lino Perez in San Juan. Billed as 'Quest for History,' De La Hoya vs. Hopkins for the World Middleweight Championship, is scheduled Sept. 18 (HBO Pay-Per-View) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

How many people think that was a quest for history

[Ron Swanson]

I'm shocked to read someone thought Oscar rose for big fights! :0

[Master]

It was a huge fight and Oscar gets credit for taking on B Hop. Hopkins played with Oscar before stopping him.

[jon09]

I now find it interesting that Oscar finally admitted he could have gotten up after that body shot.

He finally admitted what most of us knew from the get-go.
Now his hysterical pounding of the canvas in (cough) "frustration" is even more funny.

What has he said? I thought it was legit.

Tito fans will do anything to run down a Mexican boxer

Just those with an affinity for fishnets.
