Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes, billed as Homecoming, was a professional boxing match contested on May 3, 2008.

[1] Oscar De La Hoya, having lost his previous fight to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5, 2007, announced his return in February 2008 to boxing in what would prove to be a year-long absence to face Steve Forbes on May 3, 2008, a former IBF super featherweight champion who had recently appeared on the ESPN reality show The Contender.

The bout was looked upon as a mere tune-up for De La Hoya prior to facing Mayweather Jr. in a planned rematch later that year in September.

[5] De La Hoya served as the aggressor from the opening round on, as he would win in extremely lopsided fashion.

Though De La Hoya bloodied Forbes' nose, he was unable to score a knockdown and the fight went the full 12-round distance, though De La Hoya would nearly complete a sweep of Forbes on all three scorecards, winning all 12 rounds on one (120–108) and all but one round on the other two (119–107).
