Oscar De La Hoya vs. Hector Camacho, billed as "Opposites Attack", was a professional boxing match contested on September 13, 1997 for the WBC and lineal welterweight championships. ==Background== In 1997, Oscar De La Hoya was a perfect 3–0. De La Hoya started the year by making a successful defense of the WBC light-welterweight title against Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Following this, he would then move up to the welterweight division to challenge Pernell Whitaker, still considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing, for his WBC welterweight title. In a close fight, De La Hoya would ultimately defeat Whitaker by unanimous division to capture the welterweight title, his fourth world title in his fourth different division.〔(De La Hoya Wins Unanimous Decision ), Chicago Tribune article, 1997-04–13, Retrieved on 2014-03-10〕 De La Hoya would continue his winning ways in June by knocking out mandatory challenger David Kamau in the second round of his first welterweight title defense. The victory over Kamau officially put his September title defense against Hector Camacho on.〔(Newly Aggressive De La Hoya Victorious ), N.Y. Times article, 1997-06-16, Retrieved on 2014-03-15〕 Camacho had been one of the top boxers in the 1980s, winning world titles in the super featherweight, lightweight and light welterweight divisions, but had not had a major world title fight since losing to Félix Trinidad in 1994. Following that loss, Camacho would go undefeated in his next 21 fights (20–0–1). Though most of the fighters he fought were unknown journeymen, Camacho did score two high profile victories over two future hall-of-famers, first defeating Roberto Durán by unanimous decision on June 22, 1996, and then scoring a technical knockout victory over Sugar Ray Leonard On March 1, 1997 in what would prove to be the final fight of Leonard's career. After his defeat of Leonard, Camacho publicly challenged De La Hoya should he defeat Whitaker. De La Hoya accepted Camacho's challenge, jokingly stating that he would use a fight with Camacho as a "tune-up."〔(De La Hoya Up to the Challenge ), L.A.
