Oscar De La Hoya was nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career when he met Ricardo Mayorga in May 2006. Mayorga held a 154-pound title but he, too, was in decline.
Still, De La Hoya’s starpower and Mayorga’s quirky ability to sell a fight made this a compelling event. And, in the end, it turned out to be the last great performance of The Golden Boy’s career.
De La Hoya put the sturdy Nicaraguan down three times and stopped him in the sixth round to win the last of his 10 major titles.
In this installment of DAZN’s “Saturday Fight Live,” De La Hoya watches and breaks down the fight.
