Why Bet on Oscar de la Hoya
Oscar de la Hoya had his last fight in December 2008.
The loss against Pacquiao in that fight closed his record at 39-6.
De la Hoya turned into a professional fighter after achieving a gold medal in the 1992 Olympic games and won 11 world championships across six different weight divisions.
In that run, he faced off with many of the top stars in boxing and also participated in many of the biggest fights pf the 1990s and 2000s.
is in a weird spot coming into this fight, as the odds see him as the favorite fighter to win, even though he is facing the man who was the first to defeat him.
Why Bet on Vitor Belfort
Vitor Belfort has only had one boxing bout as a professional, in whcih he scored a 61 seconds Knock outback in 2006.
Belfort, however, has an impressive MMA career, in which he became a former UFC light heavyweight champion in 2004.
He lost the belt on his following fight but managed to attempt to capture UFC gold 3 more times, twice at middleweight and once more in the light heavyweight.
Final Betting Analysis: Oscar de la Hoya vs. Vitor Belfort
The two fighters stepping into the ring are legitimate legends in their respective combat disciplines, and with both returning from their retirement, the fans should be excited about this event.
Ring rust is something that should worry those in favor of the American boxer, with almost 13 years from his last meeting in the ring, against the Brazilian 3 and a half years outside from combat.
Both are excellent fighters, and even though De La Hoya should have the technical advantage as the most accomplished boxer by far, there is no reason to believe Belfort won’t be a dangerous opponent at all times.
Our pick in this fight goes to the underdog, the Brazilian-born fighter Vitor Belfort, as he had been fighting in the UFC until 2018 and looks like a beast in excelent current shape towards this fight.
