I like these plays...this fight should flesh out very similar to Trinidad vs. Mayorga. If Trinidad was able to pick apart Mayorga and hammer him at will, De La Hoya should be able to carve him up like a surgeon. Granted, De La Hoya may not have quite the power of Trinidad, but he is faster -- which will make up the difference. Plus, he has a pretty good set of whiskers himself and should be able to stave off whatever windmill of an attack comes his way. Oscar and Tito have had very similar fights...besides the coin flip of their bout against each other, both were able to wear down Vargas and both were ultimately worn down by Hopkins. As dominant as Trinidad appeared against Mayorga (after a 2 year layoff), he looked like he was fighting in jello in his next fight vs. Winky Wright.
Despite all of Mayorga's insults against De La Hoya and his family leading up to this bout, Mayorga is the one who should be insulted...because he was handpicked for this bout as a (quality name) opponent that Oscar can dominate.
