Tito looked even more awesome watching it the second time around on HBO. Once Trinidad realized he take Mayorga's best shots, he just busted him up. A real power punching clinic. Mayorga was dead game but simply overmatched. Mayorga moved up TWO weight divisions for this fight. Smart move ? In hindsight, no but... a GREAT payday and now a probable retirement.
Talk about a shooting star ! Mayorga came out of nowhere and KO's "Six Heads" Lewis for a piece of the welterweight title. Then he bombs out Vernon Forrest, the man who defeated Shane Mosley who beat DeLaHoya. Then Ricardo beats Forrest again ! It looks like he's going to be around for a while. He's high on everyone's Pound For Pound list.
Next thing you know he is outboxed and upset by the clever Cory Spinks. Then the Trinidad debacle and just like that, it's over. So sad but that's boxing.
