✋The Golden Boy STOPS Gatti in 5‼️ De La Hoya vs Gatti | FULL FIGHT | HBO Boxing | 24/3/2001

Published

on



Oscar De La Hoya vs. Arturo Gatti, billed as A Real Hero Returns, was a professional boxing match contested on March 24, 2001.

In his previous fight, Oscar De La Hoya had lost the WBC welterweight title to Shane Mosley by a close split decision on June 17, 2000. Following his loss, De La Hoya would go on a nine-month hiatus, as a rift with promoter Bob Arum led to De La Hoya filing a lawsuit in an attempt to sever his promotional contract with Arum. Though his initial lawsuit was still unresolved and his contract with Arum had not legally been nullified with Arum, De La Hoya announced that he would exclusively be promoted by Jerry Perenchio, the billionaire CEO and chairman of Univision, causing Arum to countersue citing interference from Perenchio in regards to his contract with De La Hoya. In January 2001, the lawsuit was settled when a Los Angeles judge ruled in favor of De La Hoya, officially nullifying his contract with Arum and paving the way for him to continue on with Perenchio as his promoter. Arum was not the only member of De La Hoya’s team that he decided to replace; his longtime trainer Robert Alcazar was dismissed in September 2000 after having been criticized and blamed for De La Hoya having lost twice in his last three fights, as was legendary cutman Chuck Bodak who was replaced with Joe Souza. De La Hoya ultimately decided to hire Floyd Mayweather Sr. as his new trainer praising Mayweather afterwards claiming “If I had Mayweather a long time ago, I’d be undefeated.” while also criticizing Alcazar and his other previous trainers stating “It’s a shame that I had the trainers I had before. But that’s how things are.”

Only days after the settlement was announced, De La Hoya announced the end of his nine-month hiatus and his return to boxing to face former IBF junior lightweight champion Arturo Gatti in March of that same year. De La Hoya would also announce his intentions for the bout to be his final fight as a welterweight before moving up to the super welterweight division in his next fight. However, before the fight would happen, De La Hoya announced another lawsuit, this time against TV network HBO, who broadcast De La Hoya’s fights for a long time, in an attempt to sever his existing exclusive contract with the network, which had four fights remaining, in order to gain another, higher-paying pact with them. A week later, a judge would once again rule in favor of De La Hoya, officially ending his contract with HBO and effectively making him a free agent with the ability to shop his fight with Gatti to another network of his choosing, though a deal was ultimately reached that would see the fight broadcast on HBO.

James Toney vs Vassiliy Jirov | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | IBF Cruiserweight Boxing

Published

on



Vassiliy Jirov vs. James Toney was a professional boxing match contested on April 26, 2003, for the IBF cruiserweight title.

A fight between reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov and former 2-division champion James Toney had been in the works for nearly two years. Jirov and Toney had a tentative agreement to face each other on September 8, 2001.

Jirov, despite being a former Olympic gold medalist (having beaten the co featured Antonio Tarver in the semi final) and in the midst of a 2-year reign as cruiserweight champion, had yet to headline a boxing card and was hoping a fight with Toney, once one of boxings biggest stars, would give him the chance to do so. He had however appeared in the first cruiserweight title bout to be broadcast on HBO, when he won the title against Arthur Williams. However, a deal did not get done and Jirov’s next defense turned out to be against 34-year old Jorge Castro, the IBF’s number-one ranked cruiserweight contender and Jirov’s mandatory challenger. After his defeat of Castro, Jirov hoped to either meet Roy Jones Jr., the then-undisputed light heavyweight champion or Toney, who was in attendance for the Jirov–Castro fight.[3]

Toney would fight Jason Robinson in an IBF title eliminator bout, earning the victory via seventh-round knockout, making him the number-one contender to Jirov’s title and officially setting in motion his first major title fight since his 1994 loss to Roy Jones Jr.[4][5]

The Jirov–Toney fight was originally set for November 2002, but a long and acrimonious split with his longtime manager, Ivalyo Gotzev, caused a 14-month layoff for Jirov and the fight was pushed back to April 26, 2003.[6]A fight between reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov and former 2-division champion James Toney had been in the works for nearly two years.
