If you caught the pilot of the new ABC reality series Shaq Vs last night, you’re already familiar with the NBA star’s innovative off-season training regimen. He’s taking on sports superstars – everyone from Ben Roethlisberger to Michael Phelps to volleyball mavens Misty May-Trainor and Kerri Walsh – at their own games.

Just prior to taking in the prime-time debut of his new show last night, Shaq mounted a pugilistic challenge against retired Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya at a poolside bout at Planet Hollywood. A select few were invited to watch the mayhem, but everyone can watch the outcome later in the show’s season. Vegas, of course, provided the ideal backdrop for the tussle, as it was the site of De La Hoya’s final fight with Manny Pacquiao last December. Planet Hollywood, specifically, was the natural choice for the venue seeing as O’Neal has had a promotional affiliation with the company since way back in 2000.
