Decarie Decisions Alvarez, JoJo Dan Beats Forbes

At the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, welterweight Antonin Decarie (25-1, 7KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Shamone Alvarez (21-4, 12KOs). Alvarez started strong but faded as the fight went on. Alvarez was dropped by a hard right hand in the fifth round and once again at the end of the eight. The right hands and the body shots were the key weapons of Decarie. The scores were 97-91, 99-89 and 98-90 read more ...

In a junior middleweight clash between former world champions, Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KOs) scored an entertaining twelfth round KO over Ricardo Mayorga (28-7-1, 22 KOs) on Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Mayorga was more effective early, but Shane began to figure him out in round three.

"This time, it's personal!"

With Stevie Forbes out of the way, a win on the books and rust shaken off the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya said tonight that a September rematch with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will be next. “I’ve said all along, it’s been no secret, this fight with Floyd,” De La Hoya told the media at a post-fight press conference held in the stripped-down ring an hour after the crowd of 27,000 left the Home Depot Soccer Stadium in Carson, Calif read more ...

Devoid of Drama, De La Hoya Defeats Forbes

HBO pulled out all of the stops in helping kick off the Oscar de la Hoya retirement tour. A whopping 40 minutes from the start of the telecast to the opening bell, not one but two National Anthems televised (a ritual usually featured only during PPV events), an exclusive taped pre-fight interview with the Golden Boy – it was a celebration of the sport’s biggest cash cow read more ...

Oscar De La Hoya 150 lb*, Steve Forbes 150 lb

There appears to be confusion at the scales, or perhaps whether or not the Oscar de la Hoya-Steve Forbes announced noontime weigh-in was official. With nothing reported thus far, the only news to come from the scales in Los Angeles, California was that Forbes (33-5, 9KO) made the contracted limit of 150 lb, while de la Hoya (38-5, 30KO) was ½ lb over at 150.5 lb for their fight Saturday night read more ...

De La Hoya: "I'm Not Overlooking Forbes"

Sturm was placed in as a "safe" tuneup opponent for De La Hoya's bout with Bernard Hopkins. The bout was far from safe and De La Hoya, who appeared to be in bad shape, was lucky to win a decision that most ringside observers felt should have gone to Sturm. De La Hoya makes no excuses and says that he overlooked Sturm and didn't train hard read more ...
