Oscar De La Hoya vs. Rafael Ruelas
Oscar De La Hoya vs. Rafael Ruelas, billed as "La Batalla", was a professional boxing match contested on May 6, 1995 for the WBO and IBF lightweight championships. The fight is notable for being the first pay-per-view headlined by De La Hoya, who would eventually go on to become the biggest draw in boxing pay-per-view history.
==Background==
Only two years into his professional career, the then 22-year-old Oscar De La Hoya was the reigning WBO lightweight champion and had already captured two world titles in two different divisions after previously holding the WBO junior lightweight title. De La Hoya had just made the third successful defense against arguably his toughest opponent to date, defeating three-time super featherweight world champion John John Molina by unanimous decision. De La Hoya's victory over Molina would officially set up a unification bout with IBF lightweight champion Rafael Ruelas,〔(De La Hoya Set for "Megafoght" ), Chicago Tribune article, 1995-02-20, Retrieved on 2014-03-16〕 who had made two successful defenses after winning the title from Freddie Pendleton the previous year. The fight was heavily hyped and HBO decided to air the bout on pay-per-view (via their pay-per-view service TVKO) after De La Hoya had made several high-rated appearances on ''HBO World Championship Boxing''.〔(The Showdown: Behind the Scenes in the De La Hoya-Ruelas fight ), L.A. Times article, 1995-04-30, Retrieved on 2014-03-16〕 It was the first of 19 pay-per-view events that would be headlined by De La Hoya.
