DE LA HOYA SCHOOLS MOSLEY BUT LOSES THE DECISION

Las Vegas, Nevada, (Inside Boxing, September 14, 2003) – Oscar De La Hoya had a plan for Mosley, his plan was to neutralize Shane Mosley’s speed.  De La Hoya’s plan may have worked in the ring but not with the judges as they award the contest by unanimous decision to Mosley.

It was obvious his plan was to work his jab and deliver combinations off the jab.  The plan worked more or less to perfection as Mosley could only follow De La Hoya in hopes he would make a mistake.  De La Hoya was connecting 2-3 punches to every 1 Mosley would land. More

MOSLEY REPEATS OVER DE LA HOYA – OR DID HE?

LAS VEGAS (Inside Boxing – September 13, 2003) – Imagine witnessing a fighter over come one of the most difficult task of avenging a defeat to only discover what seemed to be obvious, just became not so obvious. That’s what happened to Oscar De La Hoya (36-3, 29 KOs) against “Sugar Shane” Mosley (39-2, 35 KOs) on this night in their rematch for WBA/WBC Super Welterweight titles.

Unless my eyes where playing a trick on me, I saw Oscar De La Hoya put on masterful boxing exhibition and actually out box Sugar Shane Mosley. I had Oscar winning at least 7 out of 12 rounds, with a case even possibly being made to score the bout 8 rounds to 4 in favor of De La Hoya. Therefore, I'm struggling to understand how all three judges saw this fight as 115-113, which relates to scoring the fight as 7 rounds to 5 all in favor of Mosley. This was not the same De La Hoya that Mosley faced three years earlier. Call it as you may, but Floyd Mayweather’s stamp was all over Oscar’s performance and this was the best I have seen Oscar look in the way of overall boxing skills. More

Corrupt Judges Further Destroy Boxing’s Credibility

(INSIDE BOXING September 14, 2003)-The new millennium has been bittersweet to “Sugar” Shane Mosley. He was heralded as one of the best “Pound For Pound” fighters after his narrow victory against Oscar de la Hoya in June of 2000. A lot has happened since.

Looking at his career since the turn of the millennium, Shane beat Willie Wise by TKO 3 in Jan. 2000, then in the biggest fight of his career, he dethroned Oscar De La Hoya by SD 12 in July of 2000. In Nov. he beat the mediocre Antonio Diaz by TKO 6. Sugar Shane rode a wave of popularity for a while, getting commercial deals, lots of favorable press and always baring that million-dollar smile. He was a big Star. More

THE AGONY OF DEFEAT

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (INSIDE BOXING September 13, 2003) “Sugar” Shane Mosley defeats Oscar DeLaHoya by unanimous decision to win the Junior Middleweight Championship of the World.

This is what the headlines should start and stop with.

Unfortunately the great and powerful Oscar DeLaHoya, he who is on record as saying no one beats him twice, believes there was some type of conspiracy to see him defeated.

DeLaHoya's ego is so seriously damaged he announced that his own personal investigation into the decision would be conducted, no matter how much it cost him financially. More

DE LA HOYA VS MOSLEY II - WHO WILL WIN THE REMATCH, AND WHY

LAS VEGAS, NV (Inside Boxing – September 12, 2003) – As September 13th is rapidly approaching us, I keep asking myself, "Who is going to win this fight, and why?

There are plenty of accolades to build a case for either one of these two fighters being victorious. However, none of us have a crystal ball, yet we can all take a 50 percent chance at picking the winner!

So I too, figured I would weigh in and share my pre-fight prediction. After looking at this match up in the following areas, I have come to this conclusion:

Confusion, Chasco, Complot, Conspiracion y no Redemcion Para Oscar de la Hoya en Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (14 de Septiembre) - Para muchos reporteros, incluyendo a un servidor y hasta al famoso Cucuy de la radio fue un Sabado Negro porque nos dieron credenciales con borde negro con solo acceso a la primera fila, pero de la television en pantalla y no en la Arena. Fue una gran sorpresa para al menos 200 miembros de diferentes lugares que querian cubrir el evento en vivo y a todo color y estabamos que echabamos chispas por los ojos porque la empresa no tuvo la amabilidad de darnos la opcion de asistir a una sala de prensa. Pero eso si hubo mucha comida y liquidos para que se calmaran un poco los animos. Continuar

Conferencia en el Hollywood del MGM Hotel
Por Jaime Estrada

LAS VEGAS (10 de Septiembre) - La prensa y los mariachis llegaron desde las 11 de la manana al teatro donde se llevaria a cabo la ultima cita de La Gran Venganza como la llama Oscar de la Hoya, pero las puertas se abrieron a eso de las 12:30 y la conferencia comenzo como a las 2:00. Pero antes como todo critico de todo, hablare de la comida ofrecida y la calificacion de gusto en lo personal, estuvo de muy bajo grado (aunque peque de limosnero y con garrote) pero quede muy descepcionado porque estaba acostumbrado a la comida mexicana que Oscar ofrece en casi todos sus eventos como promotor y como peleador, pero de todos modos con hambre todo sabe bueno.

En busca de Redemción
Por Jaime Estrada

BIG BEAR, CALIF. (INSIDE BOXING 22 de Augusto 2003) - Reporteros preparados siempre cuentan por dos, y ese fue el caso de algunos medios por añadir un paraguas en la charla con Oscar de la Hoya en su cabaña en Las Montañas de Big Bear California.

Bueno pero la lluvia pudo más que todo deseo que se calmara el aguita.

Ya bajo techo, Oscar satisfacio las preguntas de los presentes. Hablo de los remendos a sus fallas en la pasada pelea contra Sugar Shane, y agregó: Continuar

De la Hoya, Mosley, Arum e invitados de gira en toda America via jet particular.

(IB-23 de Mayo 2003) - Yo como mujer no soy diferente a ninguna otra que suspira por Oscar.

Como fuimos invitadas a la ceremonia de propaganda, no la pensamos dos veces y mi comadre Mina rápido agarró su cámara y nos fuimos a uno de los salones convencionales de casino MGM aqui en Las Vegas, a donde llegamos desde las 5 de la tarde, primero no había mucha gente y el buffet estaba delicioso, habia desde comida maritima hasta simple ensalada preparado ante nuestros ojos por un chief exclusivo. Para cuando llegó Oscar como a eso de las 6 ½ p.m. apenitas acababa de comer y me levante para admirar su rostro de artista y esa sonrisa que tiene que me vuelve loca y que me perdone su esposa Millie a la cual también respeto y admiro.
