Won a fight ?
Lets see...
He defeated Michelle Picarilo for a world title.
He beat up and retired Fernando Vargas in an exciting fight.
He dominated journeymen Eric Mitchell and Michael Walker.
He was ahead on one scorecard going into the last round of a still formidable Shane Mosley before he was dropped, Mosley wasn't sent to a neutral corner and Mayorga was subsequently KO'd.
He also gave Cotto a hell of a fight before once again being KO'd in the last round.
Not bad for a guy who fights every 18 months and is then fed to almost exclusively elite competition.
