De La Hoya Demands "Full Investigation"
Monday September 15, 2003
After judges awarded Shane Mosley a close but unanimous decision, both Oscar De La Hoya and his promoter Bob Arum have demanded a "full investigation" -- whatever that means. Both have also threatened to leave the sport. Don't hold your breath on either man sticking to that threat (or promise, depending on how you view it). Also, HBO's coverage of the bout demonstrated incredible bias towards De La Hoya, the network's biggest PPV attraction. HBO's Jim Lampley, George Foreman and Larry Merchant would have you believe that the Golden Boy was robbed. He wasn't. The decision could have gone either way. It just didn't go the way De La Hoya, Arum and HBO would have liked it to go.
