Oscar De La Hoya Beats Steve Forbes By Unanimous Decision
Oscar De La Hoya put away his fishnets in favor of boxing trunks Saturday night, scoring a unanimous decision against over-matched Steve Forbes in what was billed as East L.A. native De La Hoya’s “Homecoming” fight.
De La Hoya used his jab to dominate tomato-can Forbes. “This is how I envisioned the fight,” De La Hoya said. “This was the plan, to fight more straight up, use my jab and be aggressive.”
De La Hoya next hopes to get a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr., who beat him last May by split decision. He believes the Forbes fight was a good tune-up for that match, which would likely go down in September.
“That was my game plan for this fight and that is how I plan to fight Mayweather, straight up, being aggressive,” De La Hoya said. “Now, I feel sharper. This was the idea, to get the work in and use this style.”
