Los Angeles, CA - The Golden Boy Oscar de la Hoya returns to the ring on May 3, 2008, after his split decision loss to Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. last year. De la Hoya will take on former Contender star, Steve Forbes. The venue is the Home Depot Center in Carson California, but it is the first time that a boxing match will be held in the 27,000 seat soccer stadium rather than the normal tennis facility at the Home Depot Center.

The Golden Boy is currently a -1800 favorite while most believe that Forbes has very little chance of pulling out an upset. Greater upsets have been seen in the past. If de la Hoya gets past Forbes in May, a rematch with Money Mayweather is expected in September.
