Boos pummel De La Hoya

Maybe some of those who BOOed were diehard JC Chavez Sr. and Jr. nuthuggers...

Most probably resent that he stepped into the ring with a smaller man, quit on the stool and it was all for the money when he knew he had nothing left. Although booing is a natural thing to do it's just not appropriate. Still I think the disappointed believers will eventually remember him for when he has brought to boxing.

I was there when the booing happened. It was mostly Hispanics who were doing the booing. They were also chanting "Pacquiao, Pacquiao!". They were calling him all sorts of names. I agree, it was sad to see that reaction from the crowd.

sad really, though i suspect it was more your part time boxing fan that felt the need to show off and boo.

Would urge all those who did boo to go home and download de la hoya vs quartey, whittaker, chavez etc and they`ll soon realise what idiots they made themselves look!!

I don't think it's just because he quit. It's also because people put their faith in him and got let down (maybe some lost money too). If you recall, he could have gotten up off that stool and continued to get pummeled, but he decided to do a brainy thing and quit. I think that's what pisses those folks off. He could have continued but didn't. I also remember they booed Duran too. It could just be their thing....

Another thing that bothers me about the whole thing is that Oscar was promoting that show. None of those people would have been there if it wasnt for him. They were not only disrespecting Oscar, they were disrespecting the sport.
