Oscar De La Hoya Dominates Chavez in Las Vegas Title Fight
The 23 year old Oscar De La Hoya blasted Julio Cesar Chavez, opening cuts and forcing a stoppage at 2 37 of the fourth round.

De La Hoya may return Sept 14 in Las Vegas against Miguel Angel Gonzalez or Konstantin Tszyu, then move to welterweight to chase Pernell Whitaker in 1999.
