FOX Deportes To Air Oscar De La Hoya vs. Ike Quartey & Canelo Alvarez vs. Jose Miguel Cotto on Saturday

 

LOS ANGELES, August 16 - One of The Golden Boy's finest performances and a defining effort from the current generation's top young star will be on display this Saturday, August 18 at 10:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. PT, when FOX Deportes Classics broadcasts the 1999 battle between Oscar De La Hoya and Ike Quartey in the featured fight while the 2010 slugfest pitting Canelo Alvarez against Puerto Rico's Jose Miguel Cotto will open up the broadcast.

 

On Saturday, we travel back to February 13, 1999 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev. for the showdown between then unbeaten welterweight stars "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya and Ike "Bazooka" Quartey. With the WBC Welterweight World Title on the line, De La Hoya and Quartey delivered one of the best fights of the year. In a classic sixth round, each fighter hit the deck, but it was De La Hoya dropping Quartey a second time in the 12th round to secure his 12 round split decision victory in one of his most defining fights.
