De La Hoya TKOs Mayorga in Thrilling Return to Boxing
Oscar De La Hoya went into the ring Saturday night knowing he might only be a few minutes away from the end of his lucrative career.He left as a champion who might want to rethink his retirement plans after turning in his most impressive performance in years.
Fighting for the first time in 20 months, the Golden Boy dominated Ricardo Mayorga, knocking down the Nicaraguan brawler in the first round before finally stopping him in the sixth to claim the WBC's 154-pound title.Showing no signs of rust or reluctance, the 33-year-old De La Hoya flattened Mayorga in the opening minute and never let up, unleashing waves of punishing head shots until Mayorga went down for the third time at 1:25 of the sixth.
De La Hoya then jumped onto the ropes with the flair of a champ who was back in his element once again.
