The last time he fought before that was another 10 months prior when he got his face smashed in by tito... So what advantage does Mayorga really have here?? He has been completely inactive as well, and isn't even a proffessional boxer to begin with.. if DLH has been training hard then there is no way Mayorga even has a chance, after all... He has no talent, no skills, no trainer, no good sparring partners, no idea how to train, no idea how to box, he smokes, he drinks, it's just too easy for Oscar..
I agree that Don King pulled some strings to get tht vacant title for Mayorga at 154, but Castielljo wanted no part of the Matador and was given a chance to fight him. Picarillo was no bum. Believe that. He was a former world titlist with a win over Cory Spinks. The man could box fairly well, but was thrashed by Mayorga, getting dropped 3 times and tried to box in the middle rounds with varied success. But in the end he grew tired and scared and decided to run to avoid being KO'd. I felt Mayorga looked pretty good in that fight myself, he wasn't stikin his chin out, and he showed a decent jab. It was also great to see how happy winning that title made him, and that's why he is gonna defend it with a vengence. His desire is great than Delahoyas, and once Oscar feels that power, sees that he can't hurt Mayorga, he will have to ask himself just how badly he wants that title.
ACTUALLY THOSE ARE RATHER GOOD POINTS AND I AGREE THAT IT WONT BE A WALK IN THE PARK FOR OSCAR WHO WILL NEED BRASS BALLS AND AS MUCH SPEED HE CAN MUSTER TO STAY AWAY FROM MAYORGA.
