Mayorga bets $1,000,000 on himself!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo The Game,

Let me tell you a funny story.

I was buying my first car about a month ago. I went to all these Phoenix dealerships. I wanted a small car, good on gas, and it just had to be JAPANESE. (I'm not Japanese, but they have a reputation for making long lasting cars with style)

So anyways, I go to this dealership, and I'm wearing my Oscar de la Hoya shirt. Yeah, they used to sell them about three years ago, at Mervyns. And right when I enter the dealership I see all the shark salesmen all lined up in front, kinda hanging out waiting for the next pray, me to show up.

As I walk up, one of them notices my shirt. At the time I was thinking about making my amature debut, heh. ... and

[gyrokai]

The reason they get all excited is
One: They know something about me; I'm a boxing fan.
Two: They have a dealer salesman who works for Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

So as I tell them I may seriously fight, they get all excited and say, "You have to meet Danny, he knows Oscar de la Hoya." (Danny, or whatever his name was.)

But I'm here only for a car, so I end up talking and dealing with one kid. He tries to sell us a Nissan 2006. I'm not that interested, but I go through the motions anyways. I'm waiting on the couch. All I want is the interest rates, so I can make a good judgement. And they take forever, so I'm stuck with this kid who's talking about "Danny."

About how he's "in the ring with Oscar when they introduce the fighters in the beginning." And "you should meet him."

[gyrokai]

It's not out of the question that this guy Danny, they are all talking about, actually does do serious work for Oscar. Yes he works as a stupid salesman, but he does live in Phoenix and Oscar does plenty of fights in Arizona. And he can't possibly lying to all these guys who work at the Nissan Dealership.

As I'm waiting for my car quote, on the couch, the kid finally flags down "Danny."

He's Latino, nicely dressed, looks like the part of a good professional business man.

Except when he comes over, and barely addresses at me as we're introduced. Not even a look at my face. Then he walks away. heheh

The kid, who is trying to sell me a car, is probably embarrased, so I talk to him like nothing happened.

Time goes by, and this guy "Danny" sits down, with nothing to do, since all those guys have nothing to do when no clients come in. So I try and start a conversation, about how good you have to be to get promoted, because one of my buddies happens to be a good amature. Barely acknowledges me, he says, "You have to be really good." As he continues to look at his cell phone text messages. And as I talk a little boxing, he acts as if I don't know who "Mayorga is." As if I'm trying to act like I like boxing, just so I can talk to someone who knows the great Oscar de la Hoya.

I'm still waiting for this stupid quote, we've been here for about an hour, and I just want to see a price for this car. I'm not even interested in the car, I just need to get a feel for all the prices for cars, so I can drive around other dealerships and make a nice decision. And so I say to the kid salesman, "I have to go." He gets all in a rush, wants me to stay, and some officeman comes out and tries to convince me to stay. But I FINALLY leave 15 minutes later.

And as I'm walking out, I say to "Danny" who must absolutely love Oscar de la Hoya...
... "You know... I'm going to bet against Oscar de la Hoya when he goes against Mayorga."

I shouldn't have said that. I could have caused a seen. But instead he immediately replied, "Your going to lose."

I'm almost sure I pissed him off. I shouldn't have done that. heh. They did have my credit card number. heheh But the guy was a total arsehole. I was with someone, when I was trying to buy a car, and they got after me for saying that.

[gyrokai]

Afterwards I realize how stupid my comment was.

Oscar should win this fight, EASILY!!!

The only way Oscar loses, is if he has lost something in the bank. He is getting old, he hasn't won in years. But still!!! Mayorga's a hand picked choice for Oscar's style, not to mention one of the reoccuring Trinidad leftovers that Oscar keeps goes after.

[El Gamo]

hahaha,cc,cool story!! Are you still a big Oscar fan?

cc back
Yeah, but I just know that boxing's inside business is full of guys like this.

[El Gamo]

I'm guessing you think Oscar is going to KO Mayorga@? I don't know, I think the first few rounds will tell us alot, but either way, Mayorga's chin is one of his qualities and if Oscar does win, I don't think it will be by ko.

Lowlevel fighters can hang with Mayorga for 12 rounds. I'm sure Oscar can go on his bicycle for a couple of rounds and rely on his superb jab. He may be old, but Jabs usually stay with boxers.
I don't think he'll KO Mayorga. I mean... Trinidad just anihilated Mayorga's chin and body and still Mayorga only took a knee from a killer body shot.

[steady_E]

I think Delahoya is now a shot fighter. He is going to get very tired in the mid rounds and I think Mayorga will take over.

I agree, but Mayorga isn't his best either, after he took a life beating in Trinidad fight.

Also, if Piccirillo can go 12 rounds with Mayorga, certainly iron chin/veteran Oscar can make it.

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.

I think Oscar can make it but Pich also went down three times and not even Cory Spinks a great boxer dominated him like that. I think this is a toss up fight as Oscar's temples are open. And using the man who beat the man(which I don't use) Mayorga beat a very good boxer in Vernon Forrest who figured out the puzzle that was Shane Mosley, something that Oscar was not able to do, and he also took the uppercuts from Forrest that dropped Shane Mosley which is something Oscar De La Hoya couldn't do at 147 or 154. So I think Mayorga will take the shots better from De La Hoya and the only way Oscar stops Mayorga is by going to the body and sacrificing the back of his head. Shame, because if Mayorga had a jab this would be a much more difficult fight for Oscar.

[El Gamo]

Who knows,maybe Mayorga will use the jab and surprise us all? Heck, who am I kidding,he is going to come out swinging for at least the first 3 rounds,maybe lose some gas? If Oscar's going to the body alot,Mayorga could catch him. I think it all depends on how much Oscar has trained and how over the hill he is.

[Hulk]

Picarillo survived against Mayorga. That is all. During that fight Mayorga did not stick his chin out and he showed the beginnings of a good jab. He fought smart and throughly beat and intimidated the guy, by the end he was just running. Also Picarillo was a former titlist, not some bum like you all make him out to be. Oscar is in for the fight of his life. It is do or die for Mayorga and he knows it.

[El Gamo]

What happens if Mayorga loses??
