built 188 days ago
Whether or not Oscar De La Hoya lost to Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather should be of no concern to the Mexican American Olympic gold medalist. Oscar and his wife, singer Millie Corretjer, have announced that they are expecting their second son together, set to be born some time in December. With such beautiful parents, one can only imagine what their child will look like!

As part of his support of WMMC, De La Hoya recorded these spots as a gift to the hospital. The 60 second spots include the voice of a young girl and boy who are excited about the baby that their mother will be having. In the ad, Oscar encourages expectant mothers to tour the new labor and delivery and maternity areas. The promotional spots feature endorsements by popular radio personalities, including Omar and Argelia Velasco and Sofia Soria of KLVE 107.5, Alysha del Valle of KXOL 96.3 and Marcela Luevanos of KSCA 101.9.

De La Hoya's success has not made him popular with some members of the Hispanic community. In fact, one of his biggest professional successes actually decreased his popularity. In 1996 De La Hoya beat the famous Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez, his boyhood boxing idol, in a bloody battle for the World Boxing Council super lightweight title. Some Hispanics were disenchanted by the Golden Boy's pummeling of a hero. In addition, De La Hoya has been labeled a "sellout" because of his financial success. He moved out of the barrio to a wealthy neighborhood and he spends his free time at country clubs or on the golf course.

Speaking outside the courthouse, Dravnel claimed that the pics were stolen from her, and that De La Hoya "wants to play games." And her outspoken attorney SALVATORE STRAZZULLO said the photos are not doctored, and that his client merely "wants her credibility back." Dravnel is suing boxing's "Golden Boy" on five counts, including infliction of emotional distress.

De La Hoya captured the welterweight title in his victory over six-time world champion Pernell Whitaker on April 12, 1997, in Las Vegas. It was a huge challenge for the Golden Boy who went up seven pounds (from 140 to 147) and took on a seasoned tricky southpaw who at times fought in a low crouch and fired from different angles.
