And yes Mayorga did get put down hard by Tito's body shots - but Tito's left hook his harder than Hopkins' - and Mayorga got up each and every time. He is (or was??) tougher than DLH by a street.

I like Mayorga in this fight big time - provided Tito didn't take all the fight out of him with that beatdown.

im a huge dlh fan and i do think he will easily whip mayorga--its the perfect stylistic matchup from him---i think it will be similar to the yori boy campas fight but more exciting because mayorga will throw more punches and stand there and fight instead of spitting the bit after every combo like campas did----however the kayo v hop did leave a whiff of a bad smell for me too..........i agree with your point about him punching the mat...usually a body shot that devastating will almost paralyze you completely for a bit-----recent examples being RJJ v virgil hill and gatti v dorin
