HBO To Replay Oscar, PBF Fights

By Boxing News April 20th, 2007

Leading up to the super fight showdown between future Hall of Famers Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather — set for Saturday, May 5 in Las Vegas and broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View– HBO Sports will present exclusive back-to-back weekends of four ring performances, showcasing their talents.

On Friday, April 27 at 11:00 p.m. (ET/PT) HBO 2 and Saturday, April 28 at 10:00 a.m. (ET/PT), HBO2 will replay Mayweather vs. Judah (their 2006 melee-marred scrap) and Mayorga vs. De La Hoya (Oscar’s surprisingly dominant 2006 outing against the Nicaraguan bully). Mayweather’s unanimous decision over Zab Judah and De La Hoya’s sixth round KO of Ricardo Mayorga came a month apart last year and underscored their command in the ring.

Then on Friday, May 4 at 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) and Saturday, May 5 at 12:30 p.m. (ET/PT), HBO 2 will replay Mayweather vs. Corrales (PBF’s five-knockdown decimation in 2001) and De La Hoya vs. Vargas (the all-Hispanic showdown from 2002). The Mayweather victory over Corrales at 130 pounds was total domination, while De La Hoya hammered away at Vargas before scoring an 11th round TKO win.

The four fights will also be available to HBO On Demand subscribers and can be seen 24 hours a day from Monday, April 23 thru Monday, May 14.

On Saturday, May 5 at 9:00 p.m. ET/ 6:00 p.m. PT, HBO Pay-Per-View will present De La Hoya vs. Mayweather live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. As if you didn’t already know this…

    WHY NOT SHOW MORE OF DELAHOYAS FIGHTS AND LESS OF MAYRUNNERS MARATHONS.
