Oscar De la Hoya fought like the warrior that he is for nine rounds. I had the fight even going into the ninth, with it trending clearly for Bernard Hopkins. In the ninth, Hopkins hit Oscar with a body shot that sent him down for the count. On no replay did the punch seem devastating, and its effect was delayed for a second or two. For the first time in his career, De la Hoya tasted the canvass. He couldn't answer the count. The FlynnFiles prediction fell short. It was neither the first, nor the last time, that that will happen.
