And De La Hoya it is!
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Sunday May 7, 2006The ref called the fight in the 6th round I believe.. De La Hoya came out fighting.. He knew what he was after.. I was rather dissappointed in Mayorga as I’d seen him fight before and he has strength but he did not fight worth a crap yesterday.. He was all talk and no show.. Did anyone else watch the fight?
It seemed when De La Hoya pounded him one in the first round that mayorga stood there for amin and just stared at him.. My how I wanted to yell at De La Hoya to HIT HIM AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he could have hit him way more than he did.. However he did land WAY more jabs and punches than mayorga did.. I think Mayorga’s lack of skill hurt him.. He doesnt have the finesse or skill that De La Hoya has.. He has strength.. But i’ve always been told strength doesnt make you a good fighter..
Ive never seen my dh get worked up about sports but he certainly got worked up during this fight.. He yelled at the tv with the rest of them! I couldnt help but giggle because i’d never seen him do that.. Not in 9 years together..
Now the question is will De La Hoya fight Mayweather in September?????? De La Hoya’s trainer.. Mayweather Sr. Says that if he fights Mayweather jr in September that he will not train him for it or have anything to do with it.. Some speculate if De La Hoya will actually go through with it.. A good many (myself included) feel that this was a prove me fight.. That De La Hoya fought Mayorga to prove that he still had it and he didnt want to end his career in a loss.. Some feel he is going to retire now and stick to promoting.. And its very possible.. No one knows for sure if he will fight Mayweather.. De La Hoya refused to answer for sure last night when he was asked in his interview after the fight.. Only time will tell!!
It was a good fight..Still do not believe it was worth 50$
Well, I don’t get around to watching much boxing. But, I figured I’d check your site out because Michele sent me here.
But, wow! Four children. That’s almost unheard of these days. Most people stop well before that. I hope one day I can have that many. But of course, since I have no parenting skills yet, I might want to retract that statement.
I’m cheap when it comes to TV; I won’t pay for satellite, much less the extra stuff. But it might have been worth $50.00 just to see someone get so excited about a fight!
Here from Michele, hello!
Hey..here from Michelle…I’m so not into boxing, BUT I do have 4 kiddos! Four boys, to be exact. I’m sure you’ll love the life of four kids…it really does keep getting easier. I think going from 1 to 2 was hard, but once you hit 3, it’s all good!!
Good luck to you!
Here from Michele’s. I am not much into boxing. Best of luck with baby #4. I like both names.
Never in a million years would I have guessed you’re a boxing fan. I can’t watch boxing, can’t watch the blood thing. (I’ve got a weak stomach, lol)
I’m glad you & dh enjoyed it
You know, I have a really hard time getting into boxing,and I’m not sure why. Maybe b/c of the blood or the fact it’s just punch, punch, punch and it feels routine. But, it sounds like you both got a great adrenaline rush!
Girlfriend!!! I gotta get cable! Boxing is THE one thing I miss most! OY Guess until then I have to live it through you eh?
