Oscar loses the SD at Welter (assuming 12 rounds), but rebounds to beat an unremarkable 154lb Leonard in an 8-4 type fight.
LEONARD vs. DELA HOYA 1. "Matinee Idols vie for the Title" 2. "Too Sweet or Too Golden" 3. "Pretty Boys Gettin' Ugly" 4. "Golden Showers Bring Ray Flowers" REED:fightme:
Dela WOULDN'T Have a Single Advantage in this 1...Dela Does just Enough to Last the Distance & LOSE Decisively Over 12 Rounds...Over 15, Dela's NOTORIOUS Stamina would B his Undoing & Leonard STOPS him in the 14th.... REED:scared:
I disagree with this. Leonard is better than Oscar in every category, even at 154lbs. Leonard by UD 8-4 or 7-5 at either weight. Nevertheless this post makes me anticipate the coming carnage! So I'm all for it. opcorn:
I remember once upon a time when Golden Boy and the Contenders promoter planned to co-promote a card, Oscar and Ray had a side bet where whichever promotion lost more of the undercard bouts had to dress up as a ring card girl for the main event. Given what came out after that bet was made public, my guess is the winner would've been jealous of the loser. Anyway, somewhere in there is your title for this fight. I'd take Ray at any weight 147 and up. As a matter of fact, outside of 147 Oscar gets overwhelmed and stopped.
Ray wins easily and Oscar blows him in the dressing room. This will be the biggest prize fight in the history of San Francisco.
