But people forget Oscar is getting old, I see the fight this way. Mayorga has gotten into Oscar head about his wife,manhood,culture and etc. Oscar will try to prove he is a man and get stopped viciously. Also, a footnote: Mayorga has really taken this fight seriously and had the best training camp in his whole career.
Apart from the training casmp part, you have no real facts, how do you know he is in Oscars head, you just belive that, you dont KNOW it for a fact...
Because he said it on HBO countdown.
Who said it , De La Hoya didnt.....
On the countdown...he didn't exactly say word for word that he had gotten under his skin...but he has said that Mayorga finally got under his skin:

"All this anger and hatred towards me started when we started shooting the commercial for the fight. You know he started talking to my face and this and that, and in a press conference he slapped me across the head. I mean, you know, you don't do things like that. Show some respect here, and so that's why I just keep on mentioning, hey this guy is pumping me up so much. This guy is just; I mean he has just got under my skin. He hasn't got into my head, but he's got under my skin, and he made me train as hard as I can to really teach him a lesson."
