[psp05]

Nvm

[psp05]

Is that Robert Garcia the trainer??

[drepop803]

me and oscar fought at the same weight class in the amatuers. if i would of fought a 15yr old oscar i would of thought i was gonna kill him. he looked so upright and nerdy lol. he doesnt look like a natural here. he was a great olympian though. very great.

[xlilnetx]

@drepop803 dude oscar is just not a great olympian hes a very VERY great fighter, with out a question prime oscar and mosley would beat mayweather in a fight.

[drepop803]

@xlilnetx what the hell are you talking about? i never said anything to indicate he wasnt a good/great pro.

[xlilnetx]

@drepop803 u said u would kill him, he would mess u up in at amatuers and pro. Thats why he is famous and ur not.

[drepop803]

@xlilnetx read my comment again. please read it again. i wrote "if i would of fought a 15yr old oscar i would of THOUGHT i was gonna kill him" key word thought. i wrote that because i thought i he looked stiff in this fight. like he couldnt even fight. BUT then i went on to write how great he was as an amatuer. to let anyone know (like you) that i know how great he was.

[xlilnetx]

@drepop803 oscar is always stiff and up right

[red3668]

Очень мило.

[BTC141]

A fucking coin toss! What's the point of having judges? This must be for charity or something. I give this one to Oscar.

[hectorj88]

wtf is this?

[simon1871]

Oscar looks like hes holding back, he also loses the toss and gets the small trophey..lol wtf

[jdcayo]

it was exhibition, they trained out of same gym and kids name is alfred not robert, oscar was much bigger and a seasoned amature. robert garcia never showed and alfred stepped in. thats why ref flipped coin for trophy!

[5n0NABILY]

de l HOYA DA ONE

[AdiksAu69]

[halopower88]

@AdiksAu69 You must be kidding....

[franceee23]

[sLapEoO]

[handidiboy]

he never change

[TheMrrivas]

very good

[homegrownhero]

im pretty sure Rob Garcia went on to become Oscar's conditioning coach (& diego sanchez's boxing coach)

[parracatau]

@homegrownhero yeah but is not that robert garcia, this garcia was the ibf 130 pound champion lost his title to corrales

[strongties]

@parracatau garcia trains margarito and he trained oscar when they were amateurs

[KiidDynamiteReturns]

Did they flick a coin to decide the winner DC??

Real bizarre

[dinahcancer]

maybe it was a draw and they were flipping for who got the trophy? haha weird.

[Fludentino]

U can really see that his footwork is exactly same here as nowadays ;p

[edwardboxing1]

Good Boxing by De La Hoya!!

[prettiboy16]

how tall is he here

[britishboxerno1]

is this an exhibition match?

[bbkkfslover]

beautiful video! great boxing match also this.

[rannntanplan13]

oscar doesnt look really exceptional here, but he was still young and his opponent obviously knows how to box too

[teemack]

wow--oscars upper body rhythm and posture basically stayed the same through out his career.

[KiidDynamiteReturns]

Would you say thats a good thing?

Btw, great upload DC

[teemack]

i guess it worked for him most of his career--- so i'd say yes- for him.

[folioboards]

@teemack Its because boxers are born not made.

[teemack]

@folioboards i'd say "fighters are born not made"

[folioboards]

@teemack lol, ya thats what i meant

[d0ct0rsweet]

@teemack until he met Mayweather Sr. who sort of fucked up his style...well the way I think of it is this way...Oscar looked like crap with the hitman/Philly shell/Crab style of fighting that May Sr. taught him, it takes a long time to master. FLoyd Mayweather jr. has been fighting like that since a little 3 year old. He's the best counter-puncher I have ever seen.

[viewer3511]

@teemack my thoughts exactly

[RICLOPEZJR]

do u have any Mosley vs De la hoya or De la hoya vs pepe rielly?

[znotty]

Love taps..

[0chino0]
