Ich bin so unentschlossen, wie Oscar guckt. Manchmal sieht er richtig zuversichtlich und wütend aus, dann wieder fast ängstlich. Ich werde aus dem Kampf nicht schlau. Oscar ist der bessere Boxer, aber zwei Jahre Wettkampfpause gehen auch an einem De La Hoya nicht spurlos vorbei. Dazu könnte man argumentieren, dass er seit drei Jahren keinen Kampf mehr gewonnen hat. Ist der Hunger noch da?

Seit dem Tito-Kampf wurde ja oft genug versucht, dem Oscar das Chicken-Image anzuhängen. Das ganze wurde irgendwann so sehr zum geflügelten Wort, daß selbst ich als ausgesprochener ODLH-Fan seine Miene vor den Kämpfen mißtrauisch beäugt und analysiert habe.
Ich muß sagen, bei allen Bedenken, ODLH hat mich noch nie entäuscht. :cool3:
Der Kerl ist ein gestandener Mann und Kämpfer, da bedarf es mehr als eines tobenden Clowns, um ihn einzuschüchtern. :D

Oscar ist ein Super Boxer. Es wird Zeit, das er das mal wieder zeigt.
Mayorga hat die Latte ziemlich hoch gesetzt, auch wenn es letztlich nur ein aufgesetztes kleines Spektakel war.

De le Hoya W12 Mayorga

Ich halte die meisten aus den Ruder laufenden Pressekonferenzen beim Boxen auch für Fake. Bei ODLH vs. Mayorga bin ich aber überzeugt daß da gar nichts inszeniert ist. Mayorga ist ein Idiot, da beißt die Maus keinen Faden ab (man erinnere sich nur an seine Äußerungen vor dem Kampf gegen Spinks über dessen gerade verstorbene Mutter). Oscar mach ich fertig!

Zustimmung! :thumb: Allerdings ist der Kampf auch nur aus dem Grunde interessant, um zu sehen ob das Großmaul Mayorga eins auf die Pappen bekommt! :sleep:

Oscar de la Hoya war neben Roy Jones Jr. einer meiner "Helden"...ich hoffe er schafft es nochmal...
Bei DlH bin ich mir wenigstens sicher dass es ihm um den Erfolg geht..er hat genug geld verdient und hat sich nebenbei noch ein zweites sehr erfolgreiches Standbein als Promoter aufgebaut...

Mich würden mal die Verhältnisse bei Golden Boy Promotions interessieren...welche Rolle spielen ODLH..Bernhard Hopkins und Shane Mosley???

Soweit ich weiß sind die beiden jeweils "lokale Vorstände" und DLH hat jeden der beiden mit 5% beteiligt.

Boxing's pitiful battle between class and crass
Wallace Matthews


March 3, 2006

The disease that is killing boxing strutted into a midtown Manhattan restaurant yesterday. It came dressed as a pimp, threatening all manner of mayhem but in reality capable of little more than bluster.

Everything that is wrong with the fight game was on display, alongside one of the few things that is right about it.

And while Oscar de la Hoya, who represents what boxing ought to be, is quite likely to wipe out Ricardo Mayorga, who fights for the dark side, when they meet for Mayorga's junior middleweight title on May 6 in Las Vegas, not even de la Hoya can wipe out the ugly truth of what boxing has become.

That truth is there are far too many Mayorgas and not nearly enough de la Hoyas to save a one noble and important sport.

Even pro wrestling realizes that for every heel, it needs a hero. Boxing, on the other hand, eviscerates its heroes and celebrates its heels.

Mayorga, a Nicaraguan whose arrogance far exceeds his competence, turned what should have been a routine pre-fight news conference into an ugly display of everything that has turned corporate America - and by extension, network TV and the American sports public - away from the sport of Ali and Frazier, Louis and Schmeling, Evander Holyfield and the Sugar Rays, Robinson and Leonard.

Under the dubious guise of "fight hype," Mayorga insulted de la Hoya's Mexican heritage. He questioned his manhood no less than 17 times by unofficial count. He vilified de la Hoya's late mother and ridiculed de la Hoya's wife. In his blustering stupidity, he even ripped his own wife, and caught a blistering de la Hoya counterpunch in return.

"You're as pretty as my wife," he said to de la Hoya, who at 33 still looks like the kid who played Moondoggie in the old "Gidget" movies.

"Your wife's not that pretty," de la Hoya shot back, which shut Mayorga up, but only for the moment.

"My dad asked me to detach your left eye retina," Mayorga said. "And I've always kept all my promises to my father."

Well, at least he's a dutiful son.

What Mayorga is not, however, is a very good fighter, which made yesterday's display of clumsy trash talk all the more offensive. Certainly, Roberto Duran and Mike Tyson, to name just a couple, have engaged in similar pre-fight rhetoric, but at least theirs was backed up by a legitimate air of menace.

Compared to them, Mayorga - a powerful but crude brawler who fights as if he were trying to smash gnats with a sledgehammer - came off as just a street punk with a dirty mouth.

"He's just a dog who won't stop barking, but he never bites," de la Hoya said. "It's kind of funny, actually."

But de la Hoya never cracked a smile.

"It's really difficult to hold back," he admitted. "The guy's gotten under my skin. I've never hated a person the way I hate this guy."

Any true boxing fan should hate Mayorga and what he stands for, which is the ever-worsening degradation of a sport that is cruel enough inside the ropes. As he carried profanely on, his promoter, Don King, chortled encouragingly at his side, and his interpreter-slash-attorney seemed to take relish in translating every time Mayorga spat the word "maricon" at de la Hoya.

"It's a shame boxing has to be this way," de la Hoya said. "It's embarrassing."

And to think that not too long ago, it looked as if de la Hoya could inject some fresh enthusiasm into the sport.

Throughout the 1990s, de la Hoya was the crossover star of pay per-view boxing, a refreshing counterpoint to the freak show appeal of Tyson. His 1999 fight with Felix Trinidad drew nearly 1.5 million pay-per-view buys, the most ever for a non-heavyweight bout, and the atmosphere before his fights rivaled the hysteria of Beatlemania.

But then the backlash began. All the canards we had heard about Ali and Leonard came back again. Oscar was too pretty. Oscar didn't really want to be a fighter. Oscar was a phony. Instead of embracing Oscar, much of the boxing community rejected him.

And before long, another decent guy found that a sewer is no safe place to swim. De la Hoya was stopped by Bernard Hopkins in 2004 and disappeared. He hasn't fought since, content instead to concentrate on his promotional company, Golden Boy, in which Hopkins is a partner, and he won't fight much longer.

"Just two more fights and I'll retire," de la Hoya said yesterday. "I'll knock this guy out and fight one more big one, maybe against Floyd Mayweather, and that's it."

Just what boxing needs. One less good guy. Far too many creeps.

De La Hoya's Mayorga ordeal over for now!
Week on insults from Nicaraguan strongman ends in NYC

March 3, 2006

The trash talking that is the Oscar De La Hoya - Ricardo Mayorga promotional press tour made it's fourth and final stop Thursday afternoon in New York City and predictably did not fail to entertain the masses.

Mayorga (28-5-1, 23 KO's), the WBC Junior Middleweight title-holder had slapped De La Hoya in the back of the head at a press conference earlier in the week in Chicago, but refrained from any physicality's on Thursday. This did not mean, however, that he controlled his mouth. The former welterweight champion spewed such venom that a seated De La Hoya grew noticeably angrier and angrier as his face turned flush and his jaw bone became more defined. "This guy has no idea what he got himself into," De La Hoya (37-4, 29 KO's) would tell some members of the press later on.

The press conference surprisingly began the way most fights do: with both fighters being introduced, their accomplishments well lauded while their respective teams cheered their fighters on as the boxers entered. De La Hoya entered from the right side of the ESPN Zone restaurant in Manhattan to the sound of Mexican music. He looked trim and in shape and is probably right around the 154-pound weight limit. Mayorga then came in from the same location. Dressed in a white suit with a white fedora, the Nicaraguan pounded his chest, waved his WBC belt and yelled in Spanish. He walked to the dais (where De La Hoya was seated next to fellow Golden Boy promoter Bernard Hopkins) and confronted the "Golden Boy." De La Hoya rose from his seat and an exchange of words in English and Spanish occurred. For a brief minute it looked like the two would get it on right there but the commotion subsided and Mayorga took his seat on the opposing side of the dais.

"The campaign thus far has been electric," said Don King who promotes Mayorga and is therefore promoting the May 6 HBO PPV card. "You're going to need some kind of stimulant to calm the energy from watching this fight," said the always loquacious King. "It's going to be something to behold," King continued. "I don't need to hype the fight, these guys do it themselves. We are going to bury the boxing end of his (De La Hoya) career. It's the mourning of a history of a past and the beginning of a new history."

"He's a gun slinger," trainer Stacy McKinley said of his pupil Mayorga, who along with Yoel Judah will train Mayorga for this bout. "A gun slinger comes to fight. We're going to fight and we're going to take him out," he said. "It's about who's the gun slinger with the fastest draw and the straightest shot," retorted King, never missing an opportunity.

It was Mayorga, however, who expectedly made the most outlandish and inappropriate comments of the day when he took to the podium. "I would like for everyone to know that I don't come to make friends with Oscar De La Hoya," stated Mayorga thru a translator. "I want him to know that he has to respect me. I'm the champion, you're nothing,"

Mayorga said while pointing at De La Hoya. Mayorga said De La Hoya didn't know if he was a "promoter, fighter or queer." He also compared De La Hoya to "your Olympic teammate Greg Louganis." Louganis, for those who are unfamiliar, is an openly gay Olympic diver who won medals in the Olympics in the 1980's. The fact that Louganis and De La Hoya were never even in the same Olympics, let alone the same sport, though was lost on Mayorga. "I never had a problem hurting queers," Mayorga said as De La Hoya glared straight ahead. "Don't come with excuses like you always do," Mayorga continued. "Your hand hurts, your back hurts, your butt hurts. My dad asked me to detach your left retina and I always keep my promises." Mayorga's tirades were sprinkled with the word "maricon" a derogatory Spanish term for homosexual.

When De La Hoya finally took to the podium his demeanor was much different compared to his opponent's. "I have to admit, I'm a bit tired of hearing this guy," De La Hoya conceded. "I've never heard anything like it. It's a bit funny. I've never hated anyone more before and that was a guy who got knocked out," De La Hoya said in an obvious dig at his old rival Fernando Vargas. "I want to go 12 rounds," De La Hoya said as he turned toward Mayorga. "In the last minute I want to knock you out."

JABZ

De La Hoya (who opened Las Vegas odds as a 3 and a half to 1 favorite) openly admitted to the press afterwards that he picked Mayorga as his first opponent (since being knocked out by Hopkins in September 2004) precisely because the Nicaraguan would get under his skin. "This guy has no idea what he's gotten himself into now that I really, really hate him. It's back to business. He has no style, he has no finesse. This is all about dissection."

"You can't talk about pay-per-view without mentioning Oscar De La Hoya," said HBO PPV's Mark Taffet. And he's right. According to Taffet, De La Hoya's fights have combined nearly 10 million pay-per-view buys and approximately a half-billion dollars in revenue. King is hoping to break the all-time pay-per-view record for a non-heavyweight fight (the record belongs to De La Hoya's loss to Felix Trinidad on September 18, 1999 which generated 1.4 million buys) though that's unlikely. Still De La Hoya's crossover appeal (and the big bucks that come with it) can not be underestimated. This guy is a big money-maker and the sport will (and does) suffer in his absence. Or how else can you explain the presence of mainstream sponsors such as Bacardi, Coca-Cola and Southwest Airlines, all of whom are sponsoring this bout.

De La Hoya, who along with Mike Tyson and Ray Leonard, has been the biggest star in the sport since Muhammad Ali. But his glorious (and prosperous) career could be coming to an end soon and he insists this is his last year in the squared circle. If he should beat Mayorga in May he already has a September 16 HBO PPV date on the calendar. Speculation has Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the opposite corner that night should Mayweather beat Zab Judah on April 8. When asked about this De La Hoya said of Mayweather "he's on top of my list." Even if that means dealing with De La Hoya's estranged promoter Bob Arum? "If he's involved it probably won't happen," said De La Hoya. But if the dream match-up does take place it could take place at welterweight ("I can make '47 easy" Oscar says). And what about that other storyline? You know, the one about De La Hoya's trainer actually being the father of "Pretty Boy" Floyd. "We've talked about it, he doesn't have a problem with it," De La Hoya said.

The fight will be televised live from the MGM Grand and tickets are on sale now. Ticket prices range from $150 to $1250 and are apparently going fast (8,000 tickets were sold in the first 18 hours).

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It ain't no diggity and it ain't no doubt, Oscar will knock you out." -- Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. in his typical pre-fight poem, predicting victory for his charge. He also had some other lines in his poem rhyming with "class and trash."

Mayorga nervt. Irgendwo ist ne Grenze! :wall:

Mayorgas ist letztendlich ein Vollasi der wahrscheinlich das letztemal eine so große Öffentlichkeit genießt und De la Hoya hat absolut Recht wenn er sagt: Es ist eine Schande das "Boxen"so ist wie der Cirkus der letzten Woche.
Mayorga hat ganz sicher nen attraktiven Boxstil und unterhaltsam ist es auch wenn er mal die Deckung fallenläst,im Ring eine raucht oder nen Bier trinkt aber das was er in der letzten Woche alles gebracht hat ist nur noch armselig.--De la Hoya ist jetzt jedenfalls richtig motiviert und wünscht sich laut Interview,das er Mayorga in der letzten Minute der letzten Runde ausknockt nachdem er ihn 11 1/2 Runden vorgeführt hat.Und nach soviel gestapelter Mayorga ******e wie in der letzten Woche,ist es genau das was ich am 6. Mai sehen will. Go Oscar Go !!!!!!

"Your wife's not that pretty," de la Hoya shot back, which shut Mayorga up, but only for the moment.

ich geb ehrlich zu das ich auch solche Typen wie Mayorga im Ring mag.
Klar ist er ein *********, aber baut wenigstens nicht dieses todlangweilige künstliche Schwiegermutterimage um sich auf, wie das ja mittlerweile Mode ist bei den Boxern ala. I give him respect...greets to my family and grandma...usw.blablabla dann der Gegner ala I give him respect due to blablabla

Nein nein, Typen wie Mayorga beleben das Boxbusiness und wenn ihr ehrlich seid, dann erwartet ihr nach der PK umso gespannter den Kampf. mayorga ist kein billiger Schlägertyp. Also solcher hat man keinen derart guten Boxrecord.
