Yesterday in an International Conference Call to hype his upcoming fight with Ricardo Mayorga, Oscar was asked what about Mayorga he did not like?
Here is what Oscar's response was:
OSCAR DE LA HOYA: Well it's not that I don't like him, or I don't hate him. I mean, I don't even know the guy. You know, it's just ever since he started disrespecting me. When he started disrespecting my wife, I mean he started disrespecting my family, he insulted my heritage, I mean especially when opponents talk like that you have to defend yourself. And the way I'm going to defend myself is in the ring and teach him a lesson. All this anger and hatred towards me started when we started shooting the commercial for the fight. You know he started talking to my face and this and that, and in a press conference he slapped me across the head. I mean, you know, you don't do things like that. Show some respect here, and so that's why I just keep on mentioning, hey this guy is pumping me up so much. This guy is just; I mean he has just got under my skin. He hasn't got into my head, but he's got under my skin, and he made me train as hard as I can to really teach him a lesson.
