Oscar De La Hoya win over Felix Sturm by unanimous decision

12 Rounds -- June 5, 2004

De La Hoya became the first boxer in history to win titles in six different divisions -- a record later bested by Pacquiao -- when he outpointed Sturm, who held the WBO middleweight title. All three judges scored it 115-113 to De La Hoya, even though he'd connected on just 188 of 792 punches (14.9 percent) compared to 234 of 541 (43.3 percent) for Sturm.
