Oscar to launch investigation! by Mike Oliver, FightNews.com Sunday, September 14, 2003 Former champion Oscar De La Hoya said after last night disputed loss to Shane Mosley that he would launch an investigation into last night's decision. After first pointing out that "what I have to say now is not against Shane Mosley," the Golden Boy stated: "On Monday I will put a full investigation into this decision. I will put the best lawyers on this. Boxing does not need this anymore....I will put on to my fullest power, an investigation so we will see what happened. The reason why I do this is because of the punch-stat numbers. I actually landed one hundred more punches than he did. I am not doing this because I am a sore loser. I am doing this for boxing. This does not effect my decision about retiring. I will wait until I am settled down and talk to my family before making that decision." When asked whether he felt this was just a bad decision or some sort of conspiracy, De La Hoya responded, "We'll see. I am really going to put may heart and resources into this...We have seen in boxing a lot of bad decisions. I feel for boxing that it's time they stopped. I think that its time for fighters to make a stand and I am the man to do it."
