I get you man. Not so long ago people wanted ODLH to face Cotto and people were savoring the fight just to imagine ODLH being completely utterly punished. If people hate ODLH so much around here then I would expect people to totally support that fight.
Rican,
I know, huh? First he says he won't fight a Puerto Rican and then it all sounds as if he will. But, what fighter out there has not changed their mind about something. We have boxers retiring and coming back, saying they won't fight someone and then change their mind, and so on. It's nothing new really.
To fight the big names? Can you really sit there and say honestly that he did not make the Forbes fight happen just to get a win?
How about Cotto vs Gomez? Everybody gets those fights here and there. Still, ODLH has one of the best resumes out there.
Alfonso Gomez was a man in the same weight division ranked in the top ten by the sanctioning body in which Miguel holds a world title in. Making it a legit match regardless of Gomez skills.

What title did Oscar hold? What was the point of having Forbes a much smaller man who could not even make 154 the division Oscar fights in. That is what the catch weight was for. Not to mention natural physical size.

It is like being the toughest kid in the 12th grade because you beat up all the 7th grade kids over at the middle school.

The whole everyone deserves one is crap. If DLH fought a natural 154lb fighter ranked 200th and had lost his last 10 by KO I would have given him more respect.

The title of that fight card should have been

"Because I need a win!" To top it off he looked like crap and was marked up by one of the softest hitting guys in the sport. In all reality in was nothing but an embarrassment all around for him.
