Leeeeet's Get Ready to Spar!

Oscar de la Hoya and Steve Forbes are set to face off at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, for some reason that nobody can quite explain. I'm not about to turn down a chance to see one of the sport's greatest competitors fight a weak opponent, but in a year that's been packed with incredible matchups it's not exactly momentous. If you need to get caught up on the boxing scene, check out Large's latest at The Sporting Blog. More »

Who Will Be The Next Athlete To Have A Kinky Sex Fetish Revealed?

AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think.

There's something about guys dressing in drag that, for whatever reason, is frowned upon. Oscar De La Hoya could've easily played his kinky fishnet outfit off as a mere lark: he's just a puppy-faced fellow, who after a flight of tequila shots, has no problem dressing up in a giant hairnet and heels. No big deal, really. Everyone's done it before. Sometimes, even the most virile of men cannot resist the temptation to squeeze into something spicy.

The difference between Oscar De La Hoya and most other recreational transsexuals is that they don't deny it. If it's an isolated incident, it's something that's laughed about later and forgotten about quickly. But, De La Hoya's staunch denial about the incident, plus all of those rumored intimidating phone calls to the dim-witted Scores dancer who gave the photos up and the legal threats, suggest that he's hiding a very, very dark secret.

This is where it gets interesting. We all know athletes become much more appealing if they have a little stink on them. Beneath all of that skill, money, fame, it's nice to know there runs a current of torment, a greasy underbelly that has to be concealed for presentation purposes.

There are so many who fit the profile.

So this week, I'm polishing up my ben-wah balls, purchasing a one way ticket to Taiwan and the Mets fucking suck.

Russian Topless Dancers Are Awesome At Photoshop

You might remember last week, when those Oscar de la Hoya pictures sprouted up, his publicist denied that they were real, claiming that they were Photoshopped. Everyone in the mainstream press all just printed the denial and dubbed the photos "fakes." This is what they do; it kind of makes them lovable. More »

Oscar De La Hoya Is Feeling Even More Pretty Than Usual


We're not sure what the heck was going through Oscar de la Hoya's mind when he posed for these photos, and, frankly, we probably don't want to. There's another after the jump, and you can find the whole sordid spread right here. Yipes. More »

Floyd Mayweather Gets His Frito Bandito On

Because of the bad people at Time Warner Cable in New York City, we were unable to order the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight Saturday night — the customer service guy, obviously beaten down by talking to countless frustrated customers like us, actually thanked us for not yelling at him — but from all accounts, it was a thrilling fight that might have been closer than some people realize. But the best part for us, without question, was Mayweather's decision to enter the ring, on Cinco de Mayo, against Oscar de la Hoya, wearing a wearing a huge sombrero. That, friends, takes intestinal fortitude. More »

Not Bad, Oscar

Amazing. A heavily-promoted pay-per-view fight that left the fans standing and cheering at the end, without a great amount of controversy. Hm. They should try that again sometime. More »

Boxing's Last Gasp

Finally, after putting it off for a couple of weeks, we sat down and watched all episodes of "De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7" last night; enough people had told us we were required to take a look that we sucked it up. And we agree with Robert Weintraub from Slate: It is more fun than anything involving boxing has any right to be anymore. It's obviously stilted, and it's promoting a fight that's not going to be nearly as evenly matched as everyone wants it to be, but it's entertaining television, and that's something boxing hasn't been for quite some time.

I Like Oscar de la Hoya's Chances, If He Doesn't Explode Before May 5th

I'm not an expert on boxing training techniques, so I don't know if this is a common practice or not ... it's hard for me to imagine, though, Mike Tyson training for a fight by getting a full body nude "greasedown massage" from a fellow named Freddy Roach, and then engaging in non-ejaculatory sex.

Yeah, It's A Fight. We Get It


Show of hands: Is anyone still interested in the boxers-shouting-at-each-other-and-then-it-nearly-comes-to-blows-at-the-press-conference routine? The last time that was fresh, we think, was when Max Baer insulted Jim Braddock's wife in 1938. But they continue to do it, for some reason. The latest example came on Tuesday, between Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga in a press conference announcing their fight on May 6. Yes — a press conference for a fight that is four months from now. But that's another issue. More »
