Oscar De La Hoya vs Hector ’Macho’ Camacho September 13, 1997 1080p HD Int’l Feed/HBO Commentary

There are two international feed versions of this fight which have Dave Bontempo doing commentary, the odd thing is that one has him working with “The Champ“ Sean O’Grady (USA Tuesday Night Fights) and the other with Col. Bob Sheridan, and that version of the fight was one of the first handful of fights uploaded to this channel and can still be viewed. Anyway, one of those must have been recorded after the fact. This version here originally had the audio with Sean O’Grady, which I prefer to HBO commentary (it has about 5 more mins of prefight segment to it and I will post it up if anyone wants to see that version) as I just do not care for George Foreman, especially during Oscar fights. George is obviously in love with some ODLH. Notes De La Hoya was guaranteed $9 million, while Camacho was guaranteed $3 million. Camacho was floored in the ninth round. Referee Richard Steele took a point away from Camacho in the twelfth round for excessive holding. Compubox punch analysis credited De La Hoya with landing 37
