De La Hoya speaks to the press

As the ?World Awaits? the clock is winding down to one of the most anticipated fights of all times. For years fans have wanted to see the best of both worlds go face to face in the ring and now fans have their way on May 5 when Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya enter the ring. Last week, Oscar De La Hoya held a press conference attended by over 700 media outlets from all over the world. He?s ready to go and can?t wait to step in the ring with Floyd on Cinco De Mayo. ?I can and we strongly feel that, yes, it?s going to be a good fight. It?s going to be a great fight, but were ready for anything,? said De La Hoya opening the conference.

?And truly, I think this fight here, aside from all of the other fights I’ve had or other events I?ve been involved with, this one here, I?m just anxious. I just can?t wait to get inside that ring and to let that bell ring. I just can?t wait to run over to his corner and just starting fighting. I mean, that?s, I can feel it now, I dream about it every night. So it?s actually fun. I?m enjoying this training temp; I?m enjoying this whole event. So I?m making it worth my while. So it?s definitely going to be a big fight.?
