Sergio Martinez vs Oscar Dela Hoya at 154

Sergio by close UD, he wasnt quite in his prime yet and Oscar had fast enough hands to score points but Sergio would exchange well at times and knock Oscar down during some course in the fight in which Oscar will do what he did with Tito and try to play it safe which will hurt him

 

Martinez would be calling Oscar 'Papi' and thanking him for the payday after Oscar stops him in the 9th.

 

Oscar beats that ass.

 

Oscar takes it.

 

Erm... :think. No.

 

Oscar was not as formidable at 154-160 as the lower weights. He may get joy early with his jab, but Sergio rallies in the end. He won't stop Oscar, but will land the more telling, powerful blows.

 

Delahoya that fought vargas beats a prime Marinez

 

At 154, Oscar still had enough motivation, power and hand speed to beat the **** out of Martinez.

Oscar has never been KTFO, or even put in any kind of serious danger by a head shot.
Oscar is more techincally skilled and versatile than Martinez.

Oscar has a better jab to work behind, better body attack, better combination puncher, better chin imo, smarter, and more sneaky power imo.

 

sergio too slick

 

154 ODLH
Javier Castillejo (W)
Yori Boy Camapas (W)
Fernando Vargas (W)
Shane Mosley (W)
Ricardo Mayorga (W)
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (SD loss)

154 Sergio Martinez
Kermit Cintron (W)

 

Very tough fight. I'd give the edge to Martinez based on styles, but Oscar had the handspeed and boxing acumen to win rounds.

 

Del la hoya.

 

It would be about as close as ODLH vs Felix Sturm! Which really wasn't close at all. felix just wasn't PC enough. And HBO had Hopkins on the brain....

 

If the fight was at 160 Sergio would knock Oscar out, thats a prime Sergio

154 he takes the decision
