Oscar De La Hoya's Left Jab !

Only on paper pal De La Hoya won the fight he took Trinidad to school , gave him a boxing lesson.

 

During the first few rounds in Oscar's fight with Quartey it was practically a battle of left jabs. Quartey threw more but I wouldn't say his was better, Oscar landed the heavier margin, if use remember De La Hoya ended up rocking Quartey with a solid left jab, I think it was round 9

 

I agree Tito Trinidad was a heavier puncher than Oscar although De La Hoya boxed a smart fight in their fight, De La Hoya's corner men knew Trinidad could hit hard especially with the left hook, so they prepared Oscar to box him, out score him rather than bang with him.

 

Couldn't agree more with you, De La Hoya was untouchable when he got in the motion of throwing his left jab, he started well against Mayweather, the jab was very effective against him and Oscar just all of a sudden stopped throwing it.

 

True, De La Hoya also said even when he was preparing for Trinidad Gill Clancy told him to stop once Oscar tryd to mix it with his sparring partners, they had the brilliant plan but telling Oscar to sit on his lead after all those rounds in the bag, I will never no why, mabey they were cautious Trinidad would catch De La Hoya with the left hook in the later rounds as Tito was known to be a slow starter.

 

Yeah I remember a lot of what Big Foreman said about Oscar's jab when he was commentating I remember he once said "Oscar had the best jab in Boxing no doubt about it ". I think it was the Oba Carr fight, although I said it in almost every De La Hoya fight.
