🥊 Oscar De La Hoya vs Bernard Hopkins | UNDISPUTED Middleweight Titles | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS

Published

on



Oscar De La Hoya vs. Bernard Hopkins, billed as It’s History, was a professional boxing match contested on September 18, 2004 for Hopkins’ WBA (Undisputed), WBC, IBF, and The Ring middleweight championships, and Oscar De La Hoya’s WBO middleweight championship.

After losing the WBA and WBC light middleweight titles to Shane Mosley in September 2003, five-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya decided to move up to the middleweight division to challenge undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins, who had been middleweight champion for nearly a decade and had not lost a fight in over 11 years. Before the two would fight each other, De La Hoya and Hopkins would first have to get past Felix Sturm and Robert Allen, respectively.

In a doubleheader event broadcast by HBO pay-per-view, Hopkins easily defeated Allen by a lopsided unanimous decision to retain his undisputed title, but De La Hoya struggled in his match with Sturm and only narrowly escaped with a unanimous decision (115–113 on all three scorecards) to capture Sturm’s WBO middleweight title (becoming the first six-division champion in boxing history) and officially put his anticipated match with Hopkins on.

Many, including Sturm himself, felt that De La Hoya had clearly lost the fight and had been gifted the decision for the lucrative Hopkins–De La Hoya bout to continue forward. Sturm and his promoter filed a protest with the Nevada Athletic Commission in an attempt to have the decision overturned, but commission head Marc Ratner turned it down, stating there was no basis for a review.

With Sturm’s protest out of the way, De La Hoya and Hopkins would proceed with their fight and agreed to a catchweight – a rarity for championship fights – of 158 pounds, in order to level the playing fields for the smaller De La Hoya, who had only one middleweight bout to his credit. Because of Hopkins’ size advantage and his vast experience in the middleweight division, De La Hoya, for the first time in his professional career, was considered the “underdog”, with the odds makers in Las Vegas favoring Hopkins at 2–1. De La Hoya, however, was scheduled to make a career high $30 million, while Hopkins would net $10 million, also a career high.

Nigel Benn vs Chris Eubank 1 | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | WBO Middleweight Boxing

Published

on



Nigel Benn 27–1 (25 KO) vs. Chris Eubank 24–0 (14 KO), billed as Who’s Fooling Who?, was a professional boxing match contested on 18 November 1990, for the WBO middleweight championship.

Both Benn and Eubank fought at middleweight and super middleweight around the same time in 1985–97, and became rivals on both the domestic and world boxing scene. Benn won his first 22 consecutive bouts by knockout, earning the moniker ‘the Dark Destroyer’. Eubank was the cocky, flamboyant upstart who began calling out Benn after his tenth bout. The rivalry grew, with both men swearing that they would knock the other man out.

Benn, having lost to Michael Watson, began to rebuild in America, winning the WBO middleweight title by knocking out Doug DeWitt. He then savaged Iran Barkley within one round in his first defence. Benn then agreed to meet Eubank with his title on the line, which set up the first fight. A rematch was held three years later.

Once Benn had agreed to the first fight with Eubank, his entourage began plotting ways to demoralise Eubank and ‘even things up’. They decided to sabotage his entrance music. As Eubank made his ring walk to the sound of Tina Turner’s ‘Simply the Best’, the record suddenly stopped. Eubank ignored this, and made his way to the ring apron and vaulted to the rope as per usual.

Iran Barkley vs Roberto Duran | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | WBC Middleweight Boxing |

Published

on



Iran Barkley 25–4 (16 KO) vs. Roberto Durán 84–7 (62 KO), billed as Steel vs. Stone, was a professional boxing match contested on February 24, 1989, for the WBC middleweight title.

The fight was The Ring magazine’s fight of the year for 1989.

In his previous fight on June 6, 1988, Iran Barkley had upset the reigning WBC middleweight champion Thomas Hearns to claim Hearns’ title. For his first defense, Barkley reached an agreement with Roberto Durán that was contingent on Durán first defeating unheralded journeyman Jeff Lanas in October that same year.

Though Durán barely eked out a split decision win against Lanas, the Barkley-Durán fight was made official in December with it taking place February the following year.

The now-37-year old Durán, who had not had a title fight since being knocked out inside of two rounds by Thomas Hearns in 1984 and had fought mostly unknowns since returning to boxing in 1986, was thought to be washed up and came into the fight as underdog.

Durán’s last title win had come against Barkley’s childhood friend Davey Moore in 1983. Moore had been killed in a freak accident only six months prior and Barkley had hoped to dedicate a victory to his fallen friend stating “This is personal because I remember Duran not so long ago against my friend Davey Moore. This is for Davey, this is really for Davey. I want (Duran) to know from the bottom of my heart, no one can take this title.” Barkley also vowed that the fight would be Durán’s “last hurrah.” Durán was unbothered by Barkley’s trash talk, retorting “Barkley is saying what he’s going to do and not going to do. Come Feb. 24, he’s the one who’s got to worry. I’m going to demonstrate I’m not finished like a lot of people say. I’m going to prove it.”

On the day of the fight, there was some minor controversy at the pre-fight weigh-in which took place to ensure both fighters were at the 160 pound middleweight limit. While Durán weighed in at 156 pounds, Barkley’s initial reading came in at over 164 pounds, which if correct would have led to him being immediately stripped of the title and the fight called off.
After protests from Barkley’s camp, he was allowed to be re-weighed and came in at 159 pounds with the 5 pound discrepancy being explained as Barkley standing on the back edge of the scale.
