Oscar De La Hoya – Do certain boxers seem to have what you may term a “lucky month” from time to time? A specific month or month-and-a-half span of time spanning many years during which significant events occurred? Maybe. It has been brought to people’s attention that heavyweight legend George Foreman enjoyed special and noteworthy things during his career during the month of January (“Big George” winning the heavyweight title with a crushing win over Joe Frazier in January, Foreman having his epic rumble with Ron Lyle in January, Foreman’s much-ridiculed comeback having its first fight of respect in January, this against Gerry Cooney – heck, Foreman was born in January). These events have been referred
The same can be said for Oscar De La Hoya and the month of September. The most recent edition of Ring Magazine has an article paying respect to De La Hoya, and during the month in question, “The Golden Boy” won no less than four significant victories inside the boxing ring. While De La Hoya was also knocked out during the month of September, some of his losses were very contentious.
Oscar broke the nose of former champion Genaro Hernandez on September 9, 1995, on the route to a stoppage victory. This was a crucial scalp for the 21-year-old aspiring boxer at the time, who was trying to make it big. Then, on September 13, 1997, when De La Hoya was already an established world champion, he faced and beat Hector Camacho in a bout that had received a great deal of buildup.
And then, in their rematch, De La Hoya truly won Julio Cesar Chavez’s respect by halting Mexico’s best ever by a corner stoppage. This was the moment Oscar left no question about his dominance over Julio Cesar Chavez. What’s the time? Yes, it was the month of September in 1998, specifically the 18th.
On September 18 of the following year, Oscar lost his undefeated record in the major welterweight unification battle with Felix Trinidad, putting an end to September’s run of good luck. The fight was for the unification of the welterweight division. The defeat, which was decided by a majority vote in favor of “Tito,” was very disputed, and the decision of the battle is still being debated about all of these years after it took place.
Three years later, at the age of 30, “Golden Boy” De La Hoya won one of the greatest and most personally meaningful bouts of his career when he battered bitter rival Fernando Vargas to a late stoppage loss. This victory was one of the most crucial battles of De La Hoya’s career. It was the 14th of September in the year 2002. This one was really fulfilling to De La Hoya on the inside despite how spectacular it was from De La Hoya. The month of good fortune for Oscar had arrived once again. For the time being.
The rematch between De La Hoya and “Sugar” Shane Mosley took place on September 13 of the following year, when De La Hoya was defeated. Mosley had already won over De La Hoya in a fight that was up for Fight of the Year in 2000, therefore this victory was not one of payback. Again, though, a judgment that went against Oscar was seen by many people to be a contentious one.
And then, in his very last bout that was scheduled to take place in the month of September, De La Hoya was knocked out for the first time in his career. Oscar was knocked down in the ninth round by a body blow delivered by Bernard Hopkins during a courageous and daring attempt to win the middleweight belt. Some said De La Hoya ‘quit.’ People disagreed, saying it was impossible. But the scorecard for September was finalized, and it showed that De La Hoya had won four significant fights while suffering three defeats.
The fact that De La Hoya has a very excellent resume is something that cannot be called into question. Whether or not you consider De La Hoya to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, you cannot ignore the fact that he was routinely the best fighter he faced. a good deal of the time in the month of September
