He came to survive. That’s all he did.” One judge, Larry O ’Connell of Britain, scored it 115-114 for Quartey (34-1 -1,29 knockouts), John Keane o f England scored it 115-113 and Ken Morita o f Japan scored it 115- 112 for De La Hoya (30-0,24 knock outs).. The APscoredit 116-111 forDe La Hoya. The fight will be rebroadcast on HBO at 9:30 p.m .EST Saturday. “I was throwing all the punches in the first nine rounds,” said Quartey, a former WBA champion who was stripped o f that title. It appeared, however, that De La Hoya had the best o f several close rounds sim ply because he was Oscar DeLahoya showing the heart of a champion busier. Asked if he thought he was in trouble after 11 rounds, the 26-year- old De La Hoya said, “Truly, I thought I was in total control. I never thought I had to come back dramati cally.” w hen he plays in the Nissan Open at R iv iera in Los A ngeles, then at La C osta, w hich is ju s t north o f T orrey Pines.
