September 11 is an appropriate date for this tragic occurrence.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

Another one of those fights we have all been waiting for.

Lol!!!!!

How juicy is Vitor going to be? This reeks of a cherry pick gone wrong. Vitor has always competed at much higher weight classes and even a prime Oscar struggled mightily at 160.

I see DLH winning by KO because I don’t know if the sport can afford having casuals seeing too many more big names getting their shit kicked in by MMA guys. Their maybe some wishful thinking going on here, idk.

I’m not paying for this and not even streaming it anyway, but I’m rooting for De La Hoya. I say he stops the toe sucker. Belfort is a basic level boxer. Never even showed the flashes of brilliance that Silva did in MMA. It’s all 1-2 down the middle with him... and maybe a shirt hook after.

As long as Oscar is fit and has trained he should work Belfort over. I hope I’m not wrong

Triller CEO Ryan Kavanaugh tells Mike Coppinger that Oscar De La Hoya’s September 11th comeback against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, previously planned as an exhibition but now slated to be a “real fight,” will take place at Los Angeles, California’s Staples Center. Per Kavanaugh, the fight will be eight two-minute rounds at 180 pounds.

 

[Smashus Clay]

How is this a sanctioned fight if it's only 2 min rounds?

And what kind of awful shape in Oscar going to be in at 180 lbs?

 

[Street Samurai]

Wouldn't be that shocked if belfort wins. Oscar is probably a shell of himself after all the cocaine and alcohol he took

 

[Boxiana]

Triller bringing it.

 

[djacobox372]

There will be a bunch of unadvertised special rules... these fights are fake as hell.

 

[Shoemaker]

September 11 is an appropriate date for this tragic occurrence.

My very first thought. "Do we really need another disaster on September 11th?"

 

[SuwoopBangin]

Haha, honestly, I hope Oscar comes in absolutely juiced to the gills. You know Vitor is going to, might as well match him

 

[Olenac12]

Would only watch if Oscar also does the ring girl walk between rounds.

What weight is this at?

If 210 lb. TRT Belfort would show up he might seriously KTFO DLH in the first round.

Hopefully Chavez Jr laid the groundwork for boxers actually showing up in decent shape and not taking everything for granted.

I have a feeling Oscar will take this pretty seriously as he’s always been fighting for recognition in the Latin community and has seen what a huge blow a loss could be to his public perception.

Shit is gettin real!
Vitor Belfort-Oscar De La Hoya Boxing Match Changed from Exhibition to Professional Bout

"According to a report from ESPN, the fight, which was formerly slated to be an exhibition, is now a professional bout. It will be contested over eight two-minute rounds at 180 pounds and will take place on Sept. 11 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The California State Athletic Commission has approved the change."

 

[Syd1975]

Wow. Best of luck to them. Hopefully one of these days, one of these old timers aren't going to pull a Jerry Lawler.

Delay Hoya by KO, if he's a tenth of what he was.

MMA Fighting confirmed the bout’s status with multiple people close to negotiations after an initial report from ESPN. Initially, the matchup was announced as an exhibition promoted by Triller Fight Club. But now, the California State Athletic Commission will regulate the bout at Staples Center.
