Oscar: I'll be faster and stronger!

[MRAM]

DLH says he will weigh in at around 155, that he will give up the weight in prefrence to being mobile . But i still think he will lose by ko probably around round 8. DLH is tough but Hopkins will be entirly to strong and he will adapt to DLH speed, i think Hopkins is going to stay close to DLH take his body out and then ko him.

i hate to say this mram but i dont agree with you man.....

if hopkins is going to win it will be a decision.. its hard to stop the golden boy.. i dont think oscar will make the same mistake like tito did against b-hop... dlh by unanimous decision

I agree DLH is a tough guy i dont think ive ever seen him seriously hurt in a fight, I thought Tito was gettin close when DLH starting running away. Anyway the reason i think DLH will get koed is because even at 147 he couldnt come in in great shape, he seems to lose something right around the 6th rnd, i dont think that will change now, on the other hand Hopkins is ready to fight 15rds wich im in favor of. Hopkins is stronger and craftier, the only advantage i give DLH is hand speed and i think Hopkins will be able to smother his hand speed by coming in close to DLH and hitting him with short punches to his whatever he wants to hit him.

What worries me is I thought Oscar looked all business & focused for the Sturm fight.
That didn't end in round 1 like I thought...

Don't let the Sturm fight discourage you. Sturm is a bum and got lucky. DLH will beat Hopkins either by decision or a shocking counter punch KO. Yeah, you damn right I said it, DLH by KO.

[Purist]

Spoken like a true DLH fan, you're wrong, but spoken like a Biased DLH fan.

But Sturm sure didn't look lucky in the other 11 rounds he whooped DLH's a**.

BTW I'm a DLH fan

But I feel he lost to Quartey, Mosely 2, Whitaker, and I had Trinidad even. and I felt he lost to Sturm.

I guess you could say that DLH wheathered the Sturm

[brocktonblockbust]

hate to say it because in recent years I have grown to really like Oscar as a boxer, but I fear, and I mean fear, that Oscar will get violently knocked out on Sept 18.

[thegreatest28]

I'm going to love it when he beats Hopkins and all of you will say "Oh, I said DLH from the beginning, I never doubted him."Even if DLH loses he's still my boy because of what he's done over the years. But I'm not thinking of DLH losing and in my mind I can't see him lose. From watching DLH over the years I have never doubted him from Trinidad,Vargas,Mosely, and now Hopkins. DLH WILL SHOCK THE WORLD COME SEPTEMBER!!!

[Purist]

Yes he will. He will get KO'ed for the first time, and Las Vegas will lose it's biggest draw.

[ricanchamp04]

to be honest I don't even think that Tito put all his effort into the Hopkins fight. One reason being all the propaganda that was going on with the flag issue and 9/11, I know that over here in Puerto Rico, they kept showing the promotion of the fight as if it were PR Vs. USA! that was really disturbing! I still honestly believe that Trinidad is a better fighter than Hopkins, just not a better fighter that De La Hoya.

the golden boy 115-113 UD against B-Hop

[ricanchamp04]

and Purist there is NO WAY IN HELL DLH lost to Mosley in their rematch, I had Mosley win the first fight by only one point, and in the rematch i had the same score as the judges only in DLH's favor!!! Sturm didn't whoop DLH's ass for 11 rnd's that was a close fight and DLH hurt Sturm more than he was given credit, he stunned him at least three times in that fight......still i had the fight 114-113 DLH

The ONLY WAY Dlh Will get a win is if the judges give it to him, the same way they gave it to him in the Sturm fight..IT WAS A GIFT...Sturm was the sacrificial lamb... DLh Did not earn that win..
DLH will get his head handed to him against hopkins..if it goes to decision, what the judges may or may not do is a whole different story.

and to the dude that thinks DLH will KO Hopkins.. lol..
r u .....? cuz thats just crazy talk.

[ricanchamp04]

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

[WOLFP]

No Trinidad wasnt a big victory.. but it was an easy one, because he had no business being in the ring with Hopkins, lol.. Trinidad is OVER-RATED.. period..

Oh..thats right.. it was 9/11's fault...

Wow, anyone for some ? The shit is gettin deep in here...

Its ok Rican, its all good lol

[TheChosenOne]

If Beating 3 olimpic gold medal winners is overrated i hate to see someone who is under rated

[Purist]

Al lyou DLH fans are gonna side with Hopkins when DLH loses, saying "I knew hopkins would win, I didn't mean it when I bet my house" Well here it is the desision you make is the same stick with it, I say that Hopkins will KO DLH or Win a UD or SD and the only way DLH will win is by controvertial desision, tha's my predictions and I'm sticking by them.

[WOLFP]

I know, doesnt it irk you when fighters dont get the credit you think they deserve ? Me too..lol

But yes, I still think hes over-rated -That doesnt take away from what he may have accomplished..It just means he didnt live up to his own hype.
