 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, adequately referenced. QPQ done but not needed for non-self-nomination. I have a few questions about sourcing. In the second paragraph under Background, the idea that Sturm thought De La Hoya had been gifted the fight so the lucrative match could go ahead needs a source. Most of the information in the third paragraph under Background isn't in the source you're citing; where did you get the information about the catch-weight and the odds? Footnote 8 doesn't mention Larry Holmes at all; if you want to mention him, perhaps you could find a different ref. Please also add a source for the last 2 sentences under Aftermath. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I see you have also notified the article creator. This template is also transcluded on his talk page.  Let's hope he'll remedy this and answer here.  Other than to nominate it, boxing is a little out of my knowledge base. Yoninah, my hat's off to you for thoroughly reading the article and the sourcing. — Maile  (talk) 00:27, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Did the edits by the creator later that same day address any of the issues raised here? If not, what's still needed? BlueMoonset (talk) 01:41, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No. The page creator just added another paragraph, which also has some close paraphrasing issues. All the sourcing issues mentioned in my review still stand. Yoninah (talk) 10:32, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Since it's been two weeks and the creator has been non-responsive, and has been otherwise actively editing on articles not related to this, I have no problem if this nomination is rejected.— Maile  (talk) 11:22, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
