LAS VEGAS - Oscar De La Hoya
had knocked down Ike Quartey in
the sixth round and his fans were in
a frenzy when, suddenly, De La Hoya
was dropped by left hook.
“I thought, ‘Hey I ’m going to get
right back up and stay in the fight,”
De La Hoya said. “I’m no quitter.”
"He showed tremendous heart,”
said Gil Clancy, De La Hoya’s co-
trainer. “That’s what won it for him.”
The WBC welterweight champion
won the last three rounds on all three
o fficial card s, knocking dow n
Quartey and almost stopping him in
the 12th round, to retain the 147-
pound title on a split decision Satur­
day night in the Thomas & Mack
Center.
“I thought I won this fight,” said
the 29-year-old Quartey, who lost
for first time. “I did everything, he
did nothing. 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. B row n, w hose
o n ly top 10 fin ish in the last six
y ears w as a w in at the D ep o sit
G u aran ty G o lf C lassic in 1997,
shot a 66 S unday to finish at 268.
B ill G lasson w as alone at third at
270, w hile C h ris Perry, O m ar
U resti and K evin S utherland tied
fo r fourth at 273. B row n said he
had a fun round until a bad se c ­
ond shot on 18. Brown made more
than a few great shots to keep up
w ith W oods.
