Oscar De La Hoya

Oscar De La Hoya (born February 4, 1973) is a Mexican-American boxer who won the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

He was, much like Ernie Gonzalez also, the United States top Olympic boxing hope when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. On her death bed she made him promise he'd win the gold, and he did. Sadly, she passed away at 35.

Oscar De La Hoya signed for 1 million dollars with promoter Bob Arum and went on to win 5 world titles and beat former and current world champions like Troy Dorsey (KO 1), Jimmy Bredahl, (KO 10), Jorge Paez, (KO 2), Genaro Hernandez (KO 6), John John Molina (Split Decision win 12), Rafael Ruelas (KO 2), Julio Cesar Chavez (KO 4, KO 8), Miguel Angel Gonzalez (Unanimous Decision win 12), Jesse James Leija (KO 2), Pernell Whitaker (SD win 12), Hector 'Macho' Camacho (UD win 12), Ike Quartey (SD win 12), Arturo Gatti (KO 5), Francisco Javier Castillejos (UD win 12), and Fernando Vargas (KO 11).

He also has lost to world champions Felix Trinidad (Majority decision loss 12), and Shane Mosley (UD loss 12).

Oscar De La Hoya is one of the favorite boxers of American cable channel HBO, where he currently produces a popular Spanish language boxing show called Boxeo de Oro.

De La Hoya's interests outside the ring include architecture, acting, fashion designing, and singing. He designed his own house in Big Bear Lake, California, has a clothing line (BUM, or Boxing UniforMs) and released a Grammy nominated cd.

He married Puerto Rican singing superstar Millie Corretjer on October 5, 2001, and lives half of the year in Los Angeles and the other half in Puerto Rico. De La Hoya has 3 children by 3 different women: Jacob (b. 1998), Atiana Cecilia (b. 1999) by actress Shanna Moakler, and Devon (b. 1998) by former dancer Angelique Desbrow. In June 2003, Desbrow's family reported her and Devon missing, their car found parked at a Riverside, California shopping center. The two were found safe five days later.

On May 3, 2003, as part of the Cinco de Mayo festivities, he retained his WBC and WBA world Jr Middleweight championships, when the corner of his rival, former world champion Yori Boy Campas understood that Campas had taken too much punishment in round seven and threw in the towel, indicating that they were giving up, and officially giving De La Hoya a seventh round knockout win. De La Hoya hurt his left hand in the process of defeating Campas. On September 13, he and former rival Mosley met once again, in Las Vegas, and Mosley once gain took away De La Hoya's world title belts, with a 12 round unanimous decision over The Golden Boy.

On February 9, 2004, the FBI announced it would investigate whether the rematch with Mosley had been fixed, placing Arum's promoting company, Top Rank, in the middle of a scandal that allegedly involved bribing the judges so they would score the fight for Mosley.

De La Hoya next challenged Felix Sturm for the WBO world Middleweight title on June. He won that fight by a close but unanimous decision to become the first boxer in history to win world titles in six different weight divisions. Now, he hopes to unify that title with the three other world Middleweight championships, held by Bernard Hopkins, on September 18. De La Hoya cancelled a contract with NBC to cover the Olympic Games in Athens so that he could fulfill the compromise against Sturm, and later on, against Hopkins. Because of this, NBC has filed a lawsuit against him, asking for 30 million dollars.

Oscar De La Hoya's record stands at 37 wins and 3 defeats, with 31 wins by knockout.

Bernard Hopkins

Bernard Hopkins (born June 15, 1965) is a professional boxer. He has held one or more titles in the middleweight division since 1992, and is regarded by experts to be among the ten best pound for pound fighters in the world. Hopkins is generally regarded as the legitimate middleweight champion, holding the IBF, WBC, and WBA versions of the title. Known by the nickname "The Executioner," Hopkins has successfully defended his middleweight title a record seventeen times.

Hopkins was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up in a rough section of town, where he got involved in crime and gang activity at a young age. Today, he describes himself as a "thug" in his youth and regrets that it took a stint in prison for him to turn his life around.

Late in 1982, when Hopkins was in the 11th grade, he was convicted and sentenced to 18 years in the state penitentiary for armed robbery. While incarcerated, he decided to turn his life around. Hopkins studied for and earned his high school diploma, and also began to take part in boxing again, which he had done off and on as a youth. During four years and eight months in prison, Hopkins won the national penitentiary middleweight championship three times.

He was a model prisoner by all accounts, and was paroled in 1988, as soon as he was eligible. He immediately joined the professional boxing ranks as a light heavyweight, losing his debut on October 11, 1988 in Atlantic City, New Jersey to a fighter named Clinton Mitchell. But he showed enough in the loss that respected trainer Bouie Fisher took him on. After a 16-month layoff, resumed his career as a middleweight, winning a unanimous decision over Greg Paige on February 22, 1990.

Between February 1990 and September 1992, Hopkins worked his way through the ranks of middleweight journeymen, scoring 20 wins without a loss. He won 15 of those fights by knockout, 11 coming in the first round.

That earned him an opportunity for his first title, the USBA regional middleweight belt. True to form, he knocked out fringe contender Wayne Powell in the first round on December 4, 1992 and moved into the list of top 10 contenders for a world title shot.

His first chance at a world title came on May 22, 1993 in Washington, DC, when he faced Roy Jones Jr. for the vacant IBF middleweight belt. Hopkins, who was still inexperienced against top fighters, nevertheless went the distance with Jones before losing a unanimous decision. Hopkins retained his world ranking and defended his USBA belt three further times while waiting for another title shot.Jones abandoned the middleweight ranks in 1994, and the IBF came again knocking at Hopkins's door on December 17 of that year, matching him with Segundo Mercado in Mercado's hometown of Quito, Ecuador. Mercado knocked Hopkins down twice and built a big lead on the scorecards before Hopkins rallied late and earned a draw. The IBF called for a rematch, and on April 29, 1995, Hopkins became a world champion with his seventh-round technical knockout of Mercado in Landover, Maryland.

After winning the title, Hopkins followed the example of former world middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler and followed a strict training regimen to keep his weight at or below the division limit of 160 pounds. Meanwhile, he fought the toughest available competition and was soon considered by many as the best world middleweight titleholder. By the end of 2000, he had defended the IBF title 12 times without a loss, while beating such standouts as John David Jackson, Glencoffe Johnson, Simon Brown, and Antwun Echols.The arrival of multiple-division champion Felix Trinidad into the middleweight ranks set off a series of unification fights between major titleholders. On April 14, 2001, Hopkins won a unanimous decision over WBC champion Keith Holmes in New York City. Then, on September 29, WBA champion Trinidad challenged Hopkins for all three belts in Madison Square Garden.

For the first time in many years, Hopkins was an underdog in the betting. He was on his way to a lopsided decision victory when, in the 12th and final round, he floored Trinidad and referee Steve Smoger called a halt to the fight. It was the only loss of Trinidad's career, and made Hopkins the first undisputed world middleweight champion since Marvin Hagler in 1987.

He has defended the undisputed title four times since, ousting Carl Daniels on February 2, 2002 by tenth-round technical knockout; Morrade Hakkar on March 29, 2003 by eighth-round TKO; William Joppy on December 13, 2003 by unanimous decision; and Robert Allen on June 5, 2004, also by unanimous decision.

Hopkins is scheduled to fight six-division titleholder Oscar De La Hoya for the undisputed middleweight championship on September 18, 2004 in Las Vegas. As of August 5, 2004, his career record stands at 44 wins, two losses, one draw, and one no contest with 31 knockouts.

Oscar De La Hoya Vs. Hopkins

On September 18th two of the world’s best fighters will collide in the ring in one of boxing's most anticipated showdowns in recent memory. Undisputed middleweight king Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins will be putting his title on the line for the nineteenth time against eight time world champion in six different weight classes Oscar “The Golden Boy" de la Hoya.

Both last fought on June 5th in a fight card meant to showcase them and add extra attention and hype to their upcoming battle. On that night Bernard Hopkins fought Robert Allen for the third time, and he came through, winning a rather easy unanimous decision, thus, making good on his part. Half of the September 18th card was set, the other half was left to Oscar de la Hoya who was fighting at middleweight for the first time in his career against WBO champion Felix Sturm of Germany.

Little was known about Sturm and unlike Bernard Hopkins, Oscar would not cruise to an easy victory. Sturm surprised most by giving Oscar all he could handle and much more. Although in the end Oscar's hand would be raised as the victor, the final decision was surrounded by controversy with many thinking Sturm had done enough to deserve the win. Nevertheless, with Hopkins and Oscar walking away as winners the September 18th bout was now set.

Bernard Hopkins 42-1-1-1NC (31 KO's) holds the middleweight record for most title defenses with 18 and surpassed Hall of Fame great Carlos Monzon's previous record with 14 defenses. Hopkins' only defeat came against boxing great Roy Jones Jr. in 1993. Since his loss to Roy Jones Jr. Bernard Hopkins has gone 22-0-1-1NC. Many consider Bernard Hopkins' greatest achievement in the ring to be his 12th round stoppage of Felix Trinidad in 2001.

Hopkins holds victories over eight past and current champions such as William Joppy, Felix Trinidad, and Keith Holmes. The always outspoken and confident Hopkins has already called out Light Heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver among others for future fights once and if he gets passed De la Hoya.

Oscar de la Hoya 37-3 (29 KO's) is no stranger to the so called 'Super Fights,' his entire career has been surrounded by media and a multitude of fans since he claimed Olympic gold in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona Spain. De la Hoya fought for his first title in his 12th pro bout and since that bout Oscar has fought in 26 world title fights and has fought 17 current and former champions.

Oscar's three losses have come against Shane Mosley who is credited with two of the three losses. The second loss to Mosley was considered controversial as many thought Oscar deserved the win. The other man to hold a victory over De la Hoya is Felix Trinidad who defeated Oscar in a close 12 round decision. Oscar's biggest wins have come against Fernando Vargas, Pernell Whitaker, Ike Quartey, and Julio Cesar Chavez.

The showdown between Bernard Hopkins and Oscar de la Hoya will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand on September 18th.
