Oscar De La Hoya vs. Ricardo Mayorga, billed as Danger Zone, was a professional boxing match contested on May 6, 2006 for the WBC super welterweight title.
[3] De La Hoya then took a 20-month hiatus, sitting out all of 2005, before announcing in January 2006 that he would return to the light–middleweight division to challenge Ricardo Mayorga for the WBC light-middleweight title in May of that year.
[4] The pre–fight hype included months of intense trash-talk, mostly from Mayorga, and incidents in which the two fighters had to be separated to prevent a brawl from erupting.
Mayorga only landed 6 of 136 jabs for a meager 4% and 26% of his power punches, De La Hoya, meanwhile, had a 44% success rate in all three categories.
Mayorga would get up and continue, but was soon met with a furious rally from De La Hoya, who landed a 20–punch combination before the referee stepped in and ended the fight at 1:25 of the sixth round.
