Old news probably, but look at how relaxed De La Hoya is until he realises that it's actually gonna be a fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTGF8wG2_Sk
DLH is a legend. Shaq is a big strong, powerful **** and DLH was giving it to him. He could barely reach his head sometimes.
DLH is the man for taking this fight. Shaq is known to train in different disciplines. If I'm a natural 154 fighter (at this stage of his career) facing a 300-350 pound man then that's some serious disadvantage even if he knows the sport. It's not like the fight was created for DLH. 12 rounds, he can make the man gas but this was 4x2 and a final 1 min round. DLH had the speed advantage but sometimes he'd take 2 steps back and still be on the end of Shaqs punch. I loved it when Shaq was leaning on him and battering him. DLH was taking it and firing back like a tough ****. Even in the 1 min shoot out in round 5 he was letting those shoe shines go. DLH could barely reach his ****ing head. DLH seemed to be happy as if he'd won a real fight. I don't blame him.
