Delahoya is an American? I think he is.

Is he fighting out of Juarez or Albuquerque?

Well you’re gonna laugh at this, I live in northern California in a town called Walnut Creek, and at my sister’s graduation someone had the nerve to wave a mexican flag.

lol...yeah, I’m sure Savage noticed it.

3rd round now. ...boring fight. DLH chose his opponent carefully — this is just a tune-up for his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather.

Delahoya is an American?

Born and raised in East L.A., and last I heard he still lives in the L.A. area somewhere. ....although far from his old 'hood, not surprisingly.

I know I saw him fighting in N.M.

Oops, sorry about the typos in the vanity. Always happens when I’m watching the tube and Freeping simultaneously...

I suspect one day in the not-to-distant future the Mexican anthem will be standard fare at American sporting events.

The Canadian national anthem is often performed at hockey games in the US and their flag is usually hung from the rafters of most rinks.

Having said that, I understand the difference. I've been living in Homestead, FL for the last 18 months (only 3 more days to go).

The Canandian National Antherm is played whenever the Blue Jays or Expos play stateside. No big deal.

And Johnny Tapia.

He was the New Mexican.

Big difference. Those are Canadian teams playing in the U.S. Neither of the participants in this fight are from Mexico.

Read this again..........

That would be expected if one of the fighters were a Mexican citizen or if the bout were held in Mexico, but neither is the case in this instance.

The song is played every night in LA! De La Hoya needs to play it because that is where he gets his under age girls from.

I’ve never seen that facility in Carson. Is it (relatively) new?

Last round coming up. DLH is (unfortunately) cruising to an easy victory here, winning every round on my scorecard but one.

He lives in Big Bear. Drove by his house some years back and he was working out in the front yard.

Honked and waved and he waved back with a big smile on his face.

Thanks.

120 - 108, 119 - 109, 119 - 109. A rout.

Quite a star-studded audience for such a (less-than-anticipated) matchup.

L.A. used to regularly host some best fights in the country at the Olympic Auditorium, and later the L.A. Forum.

He has since made his home in Puerto Rico, his wife’s country of origin.
