Julio César Chávez vs. Oscar De La Hoya

Julio César Chávez vs. Oscar De La Hoya, billed as Ultimate Glory, was a professional boxing match contested on June 7, 1996, for the WBC super lightweight championship.

[1] After both Julio César Chávez and Oscar De La Hoya defeated their opponents (Scott Walker and Darryl Tyson respectively) in tune-up bouts on February 9, 1996, the two fighters agreed to face one another in a "dream match" set for June of that year.

Arum claimed that he made the decision to combat the use of illegal "black boxes", which steal pay-per-view signals and allow its users to watch the program for free.

Only one minute into round one, De La Hoya connected with a straight right hand that opened up a huge gash around Chavez' eye.

Homansky then informed Cortez that Chavez could not continue due to the multiple lacerations to his face and De La Hoya was awarded with the TKO victory at 2:37 of the fourth round.
