Oscar de la Hoya comes into his WBC light middleweight clash with Ricardo Mayorga on the back of a two-year lay-off Nicaragua's Mayorga, so full of himself before the fight, is decked by a De la Hoya left hook in the first round De la Hoya looks at his very best as he picks off the wild Mayorga with some clinical combinations Mayorga has occasional success with his swinging punches but De la Hoya opens him up again in round six De la Hoya sends Mayorga to the canvas for a second time and finishes him off with a flurry of left hooks De la Hoya improves to 38 wins and four losses and may now fight pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather in September
