Will Oscar De la Hoya Really Retire? Mum's the Word
5/7/07- Is De la Hoya really saying see ya to boxing? His business partners say: nope. According to the Associated Press, they don’t see this as the last match up for de la Hoya. They think de la Hoya still has a lot of fight in him. In the past de la Hoya has tossed about the possibility of rematch fights with Felix Trinidad. And now, after Saturday’s May 5th bout, word is a rematch is a possibility.
Millie Corretjer, de la Hoya’s wife said something different to the The LA Times. "I have a feeling this may be it for him," she says a few minutes later while Oscar has gone on to shower. "I know this because he just told me…. Even though he didn't win, he won't have regrets.
Well, I guess de la Hoya hasn’t chatted it up with Millie yet. He told the Associated Press: "I'm going to be very smart about the situation," De La Hoya said. "I will go home and watch the fight and see how my movements were, how my body reacted, and analyze the situation. I'll wait and see. I'll analyze the whole thing and think about it." (Come back anyone?)
Ah, the lure of those pesky endorphins, public adulation, fame, fortune, success, millions…hmm, I don’t blame him now that I mention it.
Oscar…when’s the rematch? Me and my virgin Micheladas are listos!
(BTW, this is a bit off topic, but The Washington Post had a good article on de la Hoya and his preparing for the match, but the article name I found offensive: From Golden to Olden.) Do they not get old over there? Guess they must’ve found the fountain of youth over there, so it’s okay to criticize someone else for aging. Geez.)
