    I'd say Deigo De La Hoya is my favorite fighter next to Vsayl Lemonchonko.

      This kid Diego does have some skills to go with his speed and power. Would love to see him step up in competition tho. I understand he's still young and is a prospect so I guess Golden Boy is gonna bring him up slowly...

        Golden Boy Prez Gomez told ESPN basically if Diego wins they are trying to get him a title shot later this year.

        "The name aside, Diego is a very good fighter," Gomez said. "He is one of our top prospects. After this next fight [if he wins], he is definitely a contender and he can challenge some of the guys in the top 10. We feel toward the end of this year he'll be available for title fight. We'll keep tracking his development. He's still very young, but he has been passing every test."

        "It's a good test for Diego," Gomez said. "He's had some good upset wins [against Hanzel Martinez and Roy Tapia]. It's going to be a tough fight. I'm really interested to see how Diego looks and see if we go for an eliminator. It depends how he looks. This is a tough guy, and, if Diego handles him pretty easily, we'll know it's time to move up the ladder."

          Okay. Oscar and Gomez are doing the right thing with him then. Be cool to see him get a title shot by years end....
