[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By T.K. Stewart - For the past few years, Oscar De La Hoya has been fighting with a slight tear of the rotator cuff in his left shoulder. De La Hoya made the injury publicly known at the post-fight press conference after he defeated Ricardo Mayorga in May 2006. [details]

I agree... I really cant believe any of this hype. Maybe im the only one tho..... Oscar used his Jab all night agianst Forbes.. and plenty of left hooks too.

They mentioned it during his fight with Forbes. This is what Roachs big secret about Oscar is all about. Roach knows about this situation and is trying to capitalize on it. Pac will being going to that shoulder all night long.

It's old news. It's the reason why he stops using the jab; it stiffens up. So he saves the left for his left-hooks.

Oscar never got surgery for the injury. Sometimes it can heal on its own, but I have the same injury and mine never healed fully and tears ever so often when I'm working out. It's just a continues repeat of injuries. It sucks.

I won't get surgery because someone I know had torn his shoulder bad, although worse than mine, and he had to get several surgeries done because the first surgery wasn't successful despite going to one of the top Docs on the East Coast. And he still isn't fully better and never will. He wished he had never got the surgery.

Some people just don't want to take the risk, especially fighters. It's why Vernon Forrest waited so long and even him, I think he had several surgeries to correct the problem.

Oscar likes his big Check every year.

It was the first fight in a long time; I was surprised as well. It could have been healed at that time and had not ripped again; but, it will rip again. Nobody is that lucky.

[My Name Is...]

Who said this fight is even going to the late rounds?

If Oscar doesnt KO him in 5 or less, and still wins the fight...

Consider it a loss for Oscar...

[Silencers]

It looked fine against Forbes, he was throwing combos late in the fight.

oscar and his camp are bluffing this early... i don't what the author is trying to convey.
