I see this going the distance with ODLH getting the UD. I dont think ODLH has the power to KO Mayorga. Then again stranger things have happened. ODLH is getting older and has not been in the ring for awhile. But I think ODLH will win with the UD.

Then he loses much of his machimo, ego, and pride. Losing to THE GOLDEN BOY, who has had a silver spoon in his mouth since his first fight would be a huge blow to Mayorga's pride, it would be an absolute disgrace for him. And cement that all he is is a fall guy for the stars of the boxing world. Also it would end any chances of him ever becoming anything more than a flash in the pan as many haters have called him. This is his last shot at redemption.
What was different about the Tito fight? Oh that's right the part about this being his last chance... He'll probably retire after this one ;DQuote:

Tito was not a golden boy, though, didn't have the handsome pretty boy, sissy, image like Oscar. Losing to him hurt Mayorga's pride, but losing to Oscar, especially by KO would shatter it. Yes, he would probably retire if he loses, or coax that Vargas into a beatdown then retire, either way losing would be very bad for Mayorga's career and macho image. Hell he retired after the Tito loss remember?
He should try for an entertaining fight, like Margarito, or Vargas.Quote:

I'm sure I heard Vargas has ducked Mayorga on a couple of occasions!
If Margarito could somehow defeat Mayorga at 147, which I don't think he could, it would be the abosolute toughest fight of his life. An aggressive Mayorga at 147 packs a hell of a punch, and his chin is nearly impregnable at that weight.
It would possibly be fight of the year. Would you pay to see it?Quote:

What I mean by he isn't that good is, his technical skills are average. But, he knows the game, and he knows he's not the best boxer. Therefore, he still uses basic fundamentals, that, with heavy hands can win a fight. Example: He knew he couldn't outbox Forrest, but he didn't try to just brawl. He actually came in behind the jab to set up his power shots, and take away Forrest's height and reach advantage.Quote:

Damn straight. Ricardo Mayorga is one of the most exciting fighters in the world. His charisma and power have taken him from the ghettos of Nicaragua to hotels and casinos of Las Vegas. He is a star.
