Patrick Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 From ESPN:In what was billed as "Homecoming," De La Hoya's first fight in his native Southern California since 2000, and probably his last, couldn't have gone any better, with the exception of him not scoring a knockout. Although De La Hoya, the bigger, stronger, faster man, couldn't get the knockout he wanted, he thoroughly dominated Forbes en route to a lopsided unanimous decision in their junior middleweight fight at the catch weight of 150 pounds.

bushido_man96 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nice. I was always a De La Hoya fan. Unfortunately, I don't get to ever see his fights.The fight wasn't for a title, was it? What was the rank of the opponent? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorri Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Forbes was another guy from the Contender TV series but he had held some sort of world title in the past if I remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
