Fight Night I'm so jazzed for the Oscar De La Hoya / Bernard Hopkins fight. De La Hoya is my favorite fighter ever -- mostly because we both fight orthodox even though our lefts are our strong hands...and we're both devastatingly handsome. Ever since he won the gold in Barcelona, dedicating his run to his recently deceased mother, I've been a fan. It was impossible for me not to cheer for him after seeing him look up to the heavens (praying to mom) during the pre-fight instructions from the ref. He's done this for every fight until he wrecked Fernando Vargas. I just really enjoy watching the guy fight; his style -- up until Mayweather started training him -- is really fun for me to watch. Hopkins is pretty cool too. In the ring he's just a really methodical stalker that imposes his will on everyone he faces. He's so much fun to watch outside the ring too. He's a really smart guy that had a rough life and made some bad choices, but has emerged as a real role model. Even though his past is shady, he's become a clean-living human with an impossible work ethic. His street background makes for some hilarious press conferences. He has a big mouth and he knows how to get inside people's heads. Both fighters are nearly done with the sport, so it's cool to see them face off in a career-defining bout. On paper, there's no way Hopkins can lose. They're fighting at his natural weight and he's been a middleweight for most of his career (I think he only had one fight at light heavy). This will be De La Hoya's sixth weight class and his punches don't have the pop they did pre-147. I'm going to be rooting for Oscar and wishing he pulls off the fight of his life. I haven't wanted to see a fight so badly since De La Hoya / Trinidad! It's going to rock.
