- BLTV highlights the big showdown between the boxing villain & former gang leader, Ricardo Mayorga, and the legendary multi-weight champion & first-ballot hall of famer, Oscar De La Hoya
I was not a DeLa Hoya fan. But when I worked at a local radio station in Los Angeles and my station worked with De LaHoya’s company on several occasions. I saw what he was doing for the community and I saw that many times, the press was not alerted to his generosity. I had a chance to meet him and worked events with him. I started watching his fights and started to root for him instead of his opponents. I realized he was the real deal. For that, he deserved my respect.
You worked in LA Radio! 😎
He did that to hide and suppress what he was doing behind closed doors
Oscar that you?
@@paulorr353 Yes. I worked at Super Estrella from 2000-2005
@@AyeAre196 jealous
Say what you will Del La Hoya was a great fighter. He fought all comers, never ducked anyone and quite frankly got robbed a few times!
Yeah, respect because he never ducked anyone for sure. But he lost most of his biggest fights... Mosley, Floyd, Hopkins, Pacman, etc.
All those fights were at the end of his career! He lost but taking big fights like that after your prime is hella respect.
@@gener8423 you named fights he lost at the end of his career. The Mosley fight, particularly the second one was close. He arguably would have won if Mosley wasn’t on steroids. He was clearly robbed in the Trinidad fight. Should have never been in the ring with a prime pac man.
That's true but they robbed Pernail when he fought Del La Hoya
Great boxer* Oscar cannot fight, he boxes.
Oscar is such a genuinely amazing person. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was a cook and he was visiting with his wife and daughter, and he made it a point to stop and talk to everyone at the restaurant and even came back into the kitchen and said some very kind words to the staff and tipped us all out and took pictures. He and his family are very solid people.
Godly energy
Coked up junkie.
Thats fuckin awesome bro what a great guy
that's the way to judge any 'champion'... or just a pro athlete in general... how he or she is away from the game, with fans and everyday people, etc... no wife-beating, no gun charges, no drugs or whatever... generous with his or her people, kids' organizations, etc...
oscar is a crook too...all boxing is run by crooks....keep betting on fights dumbass
Del La Hoya's eyes in that last closing flurry is bona fide savage. Pure adrenaline.
De La Hoya is scary like The Joker is scary, when he’s enjoying himself 😅
True that
Everyone’s a thug until they meet a professional.
both pros lol
Make no mistake he was a very successful pro. He fought all the top guys and beat some lol
That a stupid reply
i was at a local bar last year ENJOYING a local band . Some guy hit on a guys girl right next to him. WASTED . grabbed the womens tush 3 times. Was told to leave politely GUY took sa knife out gabbed the guy 3 times and missed . TOLD to leave again . went to stab the guy in the heart. WELL he lost his right hand, wrist and elbow . 1 take down. GUY is back in prison .
those shortss hahahah
Not an Oscar fan but Mayorga deserved that whooping after talking about Oscar’s wife so much.
Trust me she was turned on 😂
oscar is a legend for the sport I'm not surprised he still has haters
Mayorga did the same thing to Mosley. He even went as far as to smack Mosley’s wife’s butt at a press conference.
@@speed6725 lol that was staged. Mayorga admitted after the fight that Mosley told him to do that. He didn’t want to but Shane insisted 😂.
Ooops.
You don’t have to like the man, you can criticize all you want but it’s the man in the arena that matters. De La Hoya is a stud boxer
Yeah he was the real deal
Actually it’s the man outside of the arena that matters. This means nothing
@@gsl649 elaborate for me.
@@gsl649 elaborate
Of course it means something. Life is a game. The pro boxing represents money & status. Money represents power. A man’s word has to be backed up by his actions, inside or out of the ring, to gain respect.
Loved Oscar, never ducked a fighter, and was so good to watch.
I'm just a casual watcher of boxing, but I always liked his fights when I saw one, I found him entertaining.
Oscar never looked intimidating. Not a big physique. He was just smart and had fast hands.
.@@JustIn-mu3nl
7:03 Floyd trying not to look zesty 😂
Bro really went 😁✌️to 😐👏
I was trying to see if I was the only one who seen that🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol great catch
How was that looking gay? He smiled and threw the peace sign and stopped smiling and began to clap.
It's like when Kanye smiles when he sees the camera and then goes back to being serious.
@@yokaigypsyzoomers
Mayorga literally had a p*rn website as an advertisement on his trunks. This guy was crazy af 😂
I just noticed that. Dude was a character but we Lowkey need villains like that in boxing 😂
@@vince11harris no we dont.
@@VladRadu-tq1pgno. We do. Makes it worth watching. It’s called sports entertainment for a reason.
Just say porn.
Sociopathy takes many forms.
Mayorga with discipline and focus and love for boxing not just brawling could have accomplished quite a bit more, he was a natural talent that was fun to watch.
i believe he didnt see boxing as a profession or a sport, being tough was his lifestyle, and he took great pride on the fact that he was a gangster from the slums. which must have made his defeat even worse, since , to him, de la hoya was just a pretty boy playing to be a fighter
@@andrams6010 You hit it on the nail. That must've been a hard one to swallow after so much bravado and mockery towards De La Hoya. It was great to see this scumbag loose.
@@andrams6010 yeah for sure mayorga was that macho guy but that doesn’t save him from a pretty boy that trains much harder than him lol but theres a saying that boxers aren’t gangsters and gangsters arent boxers
That happen when u come from a communist country with a evil dictatorship where there is no help or support for athletes
He was amature level skills
To set the record straight
Sugar Shane Mosley was on PED's when he fought Oscar De La Hoya
Yes , he admitted it. For both fights. IMO, still Oscar should have won the 2nd. Fernando Vargas was also on PEDs when he fought Oscar and Oscar knocked him out. I think there were one or two other fighters that were on PEDs when they fought Oscar later in his career.
And Oscar still dominated the second fight.
Just so you know, tons of pro are on it. They don’t really test for it. They test for street drugs which make no sense.
They are mostly using for recovery. In your late 20s to 30s you can’t train everyday like you can in your late teens and early 20s.
No shit. He was robbed
Oscar was on coke and a cross dresser when he fought Mosely. The best man won
So many ELITE boxers in this time frame. None of us knew how special this period was for boxing. Look at what boxing has become.
Usyk, Fury, Lomachenko, Gervonta, Inoue, Stevenson, Wilder, Canelo, Beterbiev... It's actually a pretty good time to be a boxing fan. Nostalgia distorts the past and makes it seem better than it was.
@sadassadas8946 Canelo,Loma,Fury in that order. The rest of your list wouldn't even be in the top ten of that Era. You're prob a Jake Paul fan too?
@@sadassadas8946its not that the fighters aint good its how little they fight smh i miss the days when fighters would have at least 5 fights a year smh i remember mike tyson having 3 fights in 1 month ffs those were the good days now we lucky if we even get 2 fights a year out of 1 boxer -_-
@@donclark8851what the actual fuck are you saying😂 Usyk especially would have been undisputed in that era, so would Beterbiev and Bivol, Fury sucks and you don’t know shit about boxing
@@donclark8851 So the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lewis, the guy who just beat Fury, the first heavyweight in history to hold the world titles of all four major sanctioning bodies, the first boxer to become the undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion since Evander Holyfield in 1990, he wouldn't be in the top ten in the De La Hoya era? Nor would Inoue, who is the first and only boxer to win the undisputed championship at super bantamweight, the first undisputed bantamweight champion since Enrique Pinder in 1972, currently ranked as the world's second best active boxer, pound for pound, by The Ring? OK. Sure bud. Things were so much better before...
those hands at the end, Oscar had speeeeeeed
I was never a big Da La Hoya fan, but always had respect for his boxing skills.
I didn’t like Mayorga because his disrespect crossed the line at times, yet he was entertaining, had a good chin and lots of heart. This is the only fight where I actually rooted for Da La Hoya.
RESPECT! ✊🏾
How come you didn't like DLH?
Being a gang leader means NOTHING when it come to fighting/boxing. Nothing at all.
Mayorga was looking around for his homies
You have to throw away the street fighting to learn how to really fight. Mayorga was tough as nails, if he acted like a professional, he might've done a lot better.
@@1stHalf thugs are always trash and will always lose
Yes it does it means your mama was in the next room zukin ik while you were pullin yours watchin from the kitchen eatin frosted flakes.
It means he’s no mommas boy like Oscar he’s a real one who went through life the hard way
I was at the DLH - Mayorga fight. The energy of the crowd was unbelievably electric the entire fight.
It comes through in the video! I'm damn jealous you got to be there!
Oscar is one of the lost most genuinely kind people. He was super nice and polite. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times.
Majorca was scared of him.
De la Hoya has one of the best left hooks out there.
I remember watching a show on him and he was talking about how he was a natural southpaw but his first coach made him fight orthodox, hence the tough jab and brutal hook
@@billymctaco721 Thats kind of smart. The lead hand connects at a higher percentage than the back hand, and it was his power hand.
Had now he has some of the best coke
He is left handed, as is Mike Tyson.
@@theejayzeeableMiguel Cotto and Nonito Donaire were also notable lefties who fought orthodox. The biggest potential drawback to this approach is that when one encounters a southpaw, the lead hand is generally left to stagnate as the opposing stances tend to block each other's lead hand by way of positioning.
One of my favorite ass-whoopins of all time. Oscar wasn't one to lose his cool most of the time, but Mayorga really pissed him off. I'm actually surprised you didn't add the clip of him addressing Ricardo Mayorga before the fight. There was no doubt he wanted to punish him. Another great beat down of Mayorga was Miguel Cotto who he also heavily disrespected. Cotto remained cool however and took it to him in the ring.
As far as his toughness and antics got him, he never had the discipline to become great, just memorable.
Plus the beatdown he got from felix trinidad in 2004😂
My favorite was when Mosley beat him down at the last minute, literally, especially after how Mayorga acted towards Shane's wife...😂
Vargas learned the same lesson from Oscar.
Cotto was a great fighter. Much respect for him
That was one of the most incredibly, spectacular, endings to a boxing match I've ever seen. A fearsome battle!
It was cool to see De La Hoya fighting this fight and a Golden Boy banner already hanging in the rafters. Fighters like Floyd and today's generation owe alot of respect to this man for the barriers he brought down. I get really annoyed about all the hate I hear today on De La Hoya.
Mayorga learned about Karma that day
He already learned that from trinidad in 2004
@@fakenews3676 that may be technically true, but his behaviour was as disrespectful as ever
@@chaozboy9482he was entretaining tho. He just throws hay makers and if it lands you’re going down. I loved when he fought I would die laughing
Mayorga's entire career philosophy was to make himself the ultimate opponent for an established star to deliver karma upon, and God bless him for doing such a great job implementing that philosophy.🤌o7
Mayorga might be the best fighter to ever box LOL. He wasn't a technical marvel AT ALL but somehow was enough of a street brawler to beat top prize fighters.
Dude destroyed Vernon Forrest from out of nowhere and was on his way. Smoking cigarettes in the ring, showing up to weigh in with beer and kfc. Dude was my favorite for a long time.
Moreaga was just a street thug ..your common putz
@@HossflexVernon was at the time the p4p number 1 and koed mosley+ in the dela hoya fight, Mayorga landed an uppercut that would koed anyone else
When did forest KO Mosley.He never been kO’d.He quit once.And it wasn’t against Vernon forest.And was never P4P
@@jayx2514 your right,I mistaken with getting dropped.
And yes,when Mayorga beat forrest,he was the n1 p4p
That last sequence gets me every time. Just wow.
Typical gang member, more bark than bite....
More bite than you'll ever have 🤣
Over 20 years (4 styles) training/practicing/teaching....I have enough bite for you and all your cousins!😂😂
I didn't realize I offended his girlfriend....my bad
@@KempoGuy-sq4ce lmfao ok bud...... Usually people that say stuff like that on the Internet is lying ..... But I already know you're lying with those twigs for legs
Imagine being an Internet warrior....... Good job loser.
was always a fan of oscar..... great great fighter..... miss watching him fight...
Jim Lampley and Emmanuel Steward is pure broadcasting gold
Boxing was still exciting back then.
Oscar's a class act. Flyod was wise to wait until the end of his career to fight him. ( Same when Leonard finally fought Hagler. -Hagler won by the way!)
X2 Spot on .
👊🏻 👍🏻
💯
Hagler definitely won!
fact.
that's how i saw it also...haglar was robbed.
but sugar ray leonard was a bad ass in his own right.
one of the greatest fights i have ever seen.
At the end there, De La Hoya got two or three close uppercuts in and he knew Mayorga was gonna have nothing behind his shots and he went tornado mode with a crazy look in his eye. 😀 That was pretty awesome.
Always enjoyed Del La Hoya’s show he was a great fighter and a great showman . Thanks you for the memories
De La Hoya was a brilliant and exciting fighter. He's in the top 3 of my all time favorites.
De La Hoya was a very skilled boxer, one of the best.
This has to be de la hoyas best match ever, those hands at the end were insane
Extra motivation as he said.
He looked like he could throw forever in that moment, yeah. That’s a boxer staring at a win though. How could you not get a charge in a moment like that 😅
Mayorga was an absolute clown. Nobody ever took him seriously and it was great watching Trinidad, DeLaHoya and everyone else beat the crap out of him
He has a good number of wins, I suspect those people took him seriously
I never seen a boxer block so many punches with his face like Mayorga. WOW
Tex Cobb comes to mind.Jerry Quarry was tough, but served as a stepping stone for the top tier boxers. His face looked like he blocked a kick after some of his toughest fights.
Excellent comment...made me laugh out loud. Thanks
Oscar was willing to take punches and then dish out the pain. I appreciate his early fights more now than at the time.
Mayorga is by far the best trash talker in the history of boxing . He’s probably the only boxer who’s press conference I would enjoy even more than the actual fight itself lol. What a legend .
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Trash talkers back then sucked anyway, Mayorga was the only good one.
Yes. Him and A B.....??
@@2msvalkyrie529 AB is a good trash talker don’t get me wrong and would even make me laugh sometimes, but Mayorga made me laugh with everything that came out his mouth .
Oscar and Manny P were always my favorite boxers. Also liked Leonard a lot.
Oscar needs a fight camp where they take him to a moon base to train and tell him that he only gets his powder back if he wins the fight. New level of mythical fighter would be unlocked.
In his prime years, his ability to finish fights was a delight to watch. Non stop action. True legend of the sport.
Hes like caesar milan. Something wrong with you if you hate him, nothing there to hate..
De la Hoya not on coke 0:39 lmao
DeLaHoya left a trail of elite brothas on the mat for over a decade. 💯
Sometime it is sooo good to see the right person get righteously humbled
Watching De La Hoya is like watching Federer...Amazing era
Oscar was the only American boxer to win gold during the games he was first to be paid a million to a pro contract he fought fighters that on record were better than his record he has great success as a fight promoter all this from a kid from East Los Angeles yes sir Oscar is a self made successful man.
De La Hoya had immense class. Mayorga was nothing but a street punk. Mayorga was not entertaining, he was a major a-hole.
He not so much pissed his pants, more pissed himself laughing.
"I don't play with dolls" *next shot is him dressed with a doll collar*
TOOK ME OUT
Nowadays, it's usually just a "show" when fighters act hard, and play the bad guy role. Mayorga is one of those OG's from the 90's that wasn't acting. He was legit crazy 😂
That's what made him a bad fighter, his ego. He could've been way better if acted professional. He's not very smart for a gang leader lol.
Nice job with the highlights and storyline.
Oscar gave All. Fans have to respect that. I do. Thanks for the memories Oscar.
De La Hoya is so crisp here and like a true Mexican warrior never going back.
Mike Tyson: "I heard there was a tough guy who says he can take any punch? Where is he?"
Canelo has never put on a show like this , respect 🤙🏽
Backpedalled his win against GGG
i watch all these matches live back in the day. wish i could get all the PPV money back tho... lol
I loved him back in the day, never a dull moment lol!
Lotta respect for Mexicans 🇲🇽 full stop !!!💪🏾
Full stop? 😂
De Lahoya's guard and head movement were great in this fight. Plus, his punches were accurate. It was impressive to see how refined his technique really is, and won the victory. Great fight.
I love watching Oscar’s fights!!
De La Hoya was a badass , one of the best light weights in boxing history .
De la Hoya was a world class boxer FFS. This is what happens when streetfighters & tough guys take on proper boxers. Doesnt end well for them.
😂😂😂😂You got that right👍
Man I’ve been looking for this video for ever, i remember watching this at my brothers homies house before the fight, Mayorga is a real hood street nigga that come from nothing I respect that more
Bro showed the smallest scars 😂😂
In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says, “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
2:15 BRO THAT OLD MAN IS WILDDD
Hoya was as sharp as a soup can lid and he beat that boy like he owed him money.
GREAT VIDEO MATE ! 👊🥊🏴
Met Ricardo Mayorga in 2008 at a local boxing show, he was cool! Still got my photo with him!
Mayorga may not be the most gifted fighter but bro had a chin
Im glad mayorga made the pissing sound with his mouth. I had forgotten what piss sounded like
Oscar De La Hoya is literally Hajime no Ippo
Great video bro. Never would've known about this battle between these two warriors otherwise
Everyone knew about this back then if you watched boxing
De La Hoya is the ultimate dont judge a book by its cover. Tougher than what his persona and appearance presents. Respect for fighting the best during their primes and during yours.
Myorga not in the same class. "Intimating talk" has no effect on the other fighter.
I shit my pants during the opening montage as i was playing TW: Rome II. TY BLTV. Feared for my legions life.
Mayorga was owned
If you see a man smoking cigarette 🤣you know his stamina ain’t shi shi
Mayorgo did coke in miami
That's like saying someone swam in a pool...
@@paulmacmurray 😂
A bear shits in the woods, who knew?
@@SearchingForTheAnswer go eat bear shit 😂
Shane Mosley slapping the cigarette 🚬 out of Mayorgas mouth without touching his face is wild 9:31
Mayorga had enough testosterone and chin to knockout Rolly Romero and Devin Haney look up when mayorga beat Vernon Forrest my boy could whoop anyone in his prime and take a smoke break mid championship title fight 😮💨
I like Mike Tysons phrase . . . "Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face"
Good video, entertaining and well put together.
I thought my gym playlist was going off when the Ace Combat music started 😅
This was great to watch. So much skill from Oscar De La Hoya. Showing the real art and beauty from a professional prize fighter. A gentleman outside of the ring as well. Legend
Boxing is a science and this proves it.
Oscar was just too well rounded fighter for him, he looked liked an amateur fighting a pro.
However, a dream fight that should have taken place was Ricardo Mayorga vs Antonio Margarito.....that would have been a fun fight to watch.
6:20 Oscar’s ability to adjust on the fly is crazy. Looks like he had that shot loaded as a hook to the body, then changed it to an uppercut when he saw the opening. Unreal.
Man De la Hoya in his prime was a bad man I really don’t even like the Oscar slander he was a great fighter
Cause gang leaders get on tv with a machete and reminisce about when they use to be gang leaders showing their poison ivy scars 😂😂😂
can't call someone a Gang leader for something they did as a kid . He's a Warrior that Faught his way out of it and that is what a real Champ is about
❤❤🤘🤘
Oscar's best performance, a sharp shooter he picked Mayorga apart which is no easy task.
If Roberto Duran is the hands of stone. Then Ricardo Mayorga is the head of stone. ..... The mean and nasty head of stone.
This cemented Oscar's place is a true champ. He had class he had style and he never bullied nobody outside of the ring. Long live the
De La H
Hoyas
That look on Mayorgas face when he got dropped was beautiful 😲😨
Those Hbo boxing and usa Tuesday night fights days were freaking awesome.
Oscar was the damn man yo...HIS COMBINATION PUNCHING WAS AMAZING!!!
Balls and confidence aren't enough. Everyone who trains can hit hard, but not all are truly skilled.
Myorga lands a surprising amount of punches from different angles even when he is outclassed
Navy Seals and gang thugs need to realize that professional fighters are at another level and are where they are for a reason.
Oscar with the breakdown at the end. Let him catch the beats for a couple of rounds HAHA.
