WBC super welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga is so sure he will defeat Oscar De La Hoya on May 6, he claims he will bet a million dollars in Las Vegas' casinos. According to Mayorga, the odds have De la Hoya as a 3:1 favorite to beat him. He plans to bet one million to earn three million. "I will win, it is a fact, because it is the most important fight of my life, of the year, and the history of the Nicaraguan people," said Mayorga from his training camp in Miami. "I am taking things very seriously," said the champion, who just finish his sixth week of preparation. "I am in the toughest stage of my preparation. I feel good and I am only 11 pounds over the limit." Mayorga has been running early mornings and evenings through the streets of Miami. He does his gym work around noon for about two-and-a-half hours with trainer Luis León. "We are working hard with Luis León. We are very sure of my victory. Only people who doesn't know boxing think I will lose," said a confident Mayorga, who plans to use his natural ability and hard blows against the Golden Boy. "I trust my physical condition and my punching power. You all will see when the bell rings, that chicken will have no place to run," said Mayorga, who predicts Oscar will not last more than seven rounds.

So he's gonna get the shat kicked out of him & he's gonna be broke?

Poor Mayorga. Oscar's gonna smoke his ass like one of James Fat Ass Toney's cigars.

Poor Mayorga. Oscar's gonna smoke his a** like one of James Fat a** Toney's cigars.

Oscar's basically lost his last 2 fights, if you count Sturm. If you ask me, the wild, brawling Mayorga is gonna find a way to put Oscar on the canvas KTFO.

well mayorga himself hasn't looked impressive lately getting annhilated by tito and looking tired in the fight with Pisserelo, he couldn't knock that bum out so i don't know how he is going to knock oscar out. The key to beating mayorga is let him empty his tank by letting him throw those bombs in the 1st and 2nd round which gets him a little tired and then attack on, with his defense being as fragile as glass any person with decent boxing skills has a good chance of winning. That is what tito and spinks did. and in the fight with pisserelo after the 3rd round mayorga seemed to have slowed down but that bum was just too scared to get inside him

He said all of the same shit before the Trinidad fight

Thinking about it, what the heck is the point of this fight?

[hitmanhatton]

i think mayorga should try and get back down to welterweight if he can after this fight (if he wins tht is, but then again if he loses he wont have to worry about vacating the title to move down) i rele think it will be a great division soon with hatton and mayweather recently moving up and then uv got zab,margarito,gatti and there are some others who are not as much big names but are decent fighters such as baldomir sharmba mitchell and also kevin anderson looks a good prospect who could be challenging the big guns soon

Finally your starting to see.. Mayorga is a fall guy, who happens to have another pretty little belt for Oscar.

"Only people who doesn't know boxing think I will lose," said a confident Mayorga

Wow....only people who have take severe punishment to the head doesn't know English better then that.

... Look who he lost to... Bernard Hopkins and he put up a good fight considering the size differential and the skill of his opponent... Same with Sturm who is tactical and much much larger than ODLH naturally just staying in there with these guys for a whole is something I can't see Mayorga doing after what Trinidad did to him. ODLH outboxed Trinidad until he stopped fighting, and Trinidad outboxed Mayorga... I still see this with ODLH beating Mayorga who's empty pockets might be the least of his worries at the end of the night. This is one fight like the Lacy fight where I'll admit that Mayorga could potentially pully ODLH, but I don't see it because ODLH is faster has a stiff jab and very good technique.

i totally agree...Shane mosely too for one fight with PBF...i think even now that will be one the best fights ever...

Now Mayorga didn't carry his power all the way up to middle in the fight with tito ot mention he did the dumb crap of letting tito hit flush in the first round..that's why he was drained so fast not saying he would have won, but i guarantee that shat took a lot of his strength immediatly and regretted doing that...also oscar hasn't been in any good shape since the first mosely fight...the body shot against hopkins he took those all night back then so if Mayorga doesn't make the dumb asss mistake of letting ODLH hit him freely oscar might have a tough time with the bull...but i still think oscar will outbox him for the win, but i also wouldn't be surprised if oscar got KO'ed by a headshot because he's just due for one....

[Gandalf]

im still not sure about this fight....delahoya's long spell of inactivity may very well play a part...i say oscar wins, but it all depends on how it goes in the opening couple of rounds...

i will be interested to see how delahoya looks...

[Hulk]

Hell yeah. GO MAYORGA!!!! This is the most important fight of his life and he better realize it. He must be totally dedicated and focused if he is going to beat Oscar. The talent differntial is enormous, but Mayorga can chane all that with one good shot.

[El Gamo]

I think it depends on Oscar. If he has trained hard and gotten rid of all that ring rust, I think he will win.If not,Mayorga has a chance.

I have to agree,it's Oscar's chance to win a belt from someone he probably percieves as a weak champion or someone he can beat easily?
