The battle of the WBC Super Welterweight Crown promises to be an exciting crash between Oscar de la Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga. De la Hoya will be looking for glory once again but the element that will make the fight more exciting is the fact that they are so opposite in the way they fight. What rises doubt is whether the Golden Boy can o cannot beat his opponent's ways. He will be facing a boxer that has little consideration for his opponents, and his careless style has benefited him in the past take as an example when he fought Andrew Lewis, Vernon Forrest but not always a plus like when he fought Tito Trinidad. Once thing is for sure, we are going to have a fun time finding it out.

De La Hoya is coming off a long period of forced inactivity when he was knocked out in the 9th round when fighting Bernard Hopkins in September of 2004. And coming off such a devastating defeat, many wonder if he will be able to stand up to the free-swinging WBC Champion.

De La Hoya has being doing more of the traditional work out program; he is looking for a regimen not only for this fight but something that will lead him back to victory. This fight is important for De la Hoya if he wants to pursue the world championship again and retire as one.

The feeling is mixed as to if Oscar can be successful against the Nicaraguan wild man. Many believe Oscar should easily out box Mayorga, but there are others who believe the former Welterweight champion will have too much power for the Golden Boy.
