GBP CONGRATULATES THE NEW WBC JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT
CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, OSCAR DE LA HOYA
Ring rust? What ring rust? In his first fight in 20
months, ‘The Golden Boy,’ Oscar De La Hoya showed that
he was better than ever, impressively stopping Ricardo
Mayorga in six dominating rounds to win the WBC junior
middleweight championship at the MGM Grand Garden
Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The end came at 1:25 of the sixth frame as De La Hoya
scored his third knockdown of the fight, which was
televised on HBO Pay-Per-View.
For De La Hoya, who improves to 38-4 with 30
knockouts, the win earned him an amazing ninth world
title, spanning every division from junior lightweight
to middleweight, and it was his 19th
victory and 12th knockout in 23
championship fights. And even more impressive is the
fact that after close to 14 years in the pro boxing
game, Oscar is still golden.
Golden Boy Promotions congratulates our president and
our champion, Oscar De La Hoya.
