Description : Fabulous official full-size HBO Boxin Pay-Per- View poster from the fight, billed as "Retribution" and staged at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Las Vegas. Up for grabs were De La Hoya's WBC/WBA Light/Middleweight Crowns.
This was more of a boxing match than their first encounter, and while some rounds were close, De La Hoya's game plan utilizing his jab seemed to be paying off, leaving Mosley visually frustrated. It was De La Hoya who seemed to be landing the cleaner, more effective punches, and obliterated Mosley in Compubox, landing over 100 more. But judges apparently didn't see it that way awarding Mosley with the controversial unanimous decision. Mosley was later connected to the BALCO labs steroid scandal. Jeff Novitzky a lead investigator on the BALCO case, reported that documents seized from the lab show that Mosley received "the clear" and "the cream," both designer steroids. Mosley reportedly began his doping regimen prior to his rematch with Oscar De La Hoya. Mosley would later admit to using performance-enhancing drugs from BALCO for this bout, saying he thought they were legal supplements, judges scores were as follows: judge: Anek Hongtongkam 113-115 | judge: Duane Ford 113-115 | judge: Stanley Christodoulou 113-115.
