By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - In a recent interview with "Nacho" Beristain, conducted by MaxBoxing's Gabriel Montoya, the subject of late Edwin Valero giving Oscar De La Hoya a black eye came up. Montoya had heard that Valero (and not Victor Ortiz as had been reported by various media outlets) gave De La Hoya a blackened eye in a sparring session and also had bet large amounts of cash against De La Hoya in favor of Manny Pacquiao knocking him out. (Valero had been a sparring partner for Oscar in lead up to De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao). Beristain confirmed the black eye part, but stressed the punch Valero threw at De La Hoya was a dirty shot (came after the bell) and was the last straw before he canned the Venezuelan fighter.

Montoya writes: On the media day for that fight, held in Big Bear, CA where Oscar was training, De La Hoya was sporting a black eye. While some reports claimed it was from a sparring session with Golden Boy Promotions fighter Victor Ortiz, I had heard that Valero, who bet a large amount of cash on Pacquiao to knock out Oscar, was in fact the culprit. Beristain confirmed this.

“Yes. He threw a punch after time was over,” said Beristain. ‘Time was over’ meaning after the bell had rung in a sparring session. “The next day, I chucked him out. That's why he disliked me. Whenever he would see me, he would not say hello. Oscar's brother said, ‘No, he's not leaving.’ I told him, ‘Yes, he is leaving; he is leaving now.’ So Joel went to complain to Oscar. Oscar told Joel, ‘You have to obey. If Don Nacho said he goes, he goes.’”
