Damn, I had no idea there was going to be boxing on a friday. I'm glad Mayorga got a stoppage, I have a soft spot for him. It's a shame that he is so inactive, must be about 36 now.

"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I haven't seen it yet, just a few brief highlights but it sounds like it was an entertaining fight.
Apparently he knocked the guy out in the 9th round but was docked two points for continuing to punch him in the face whilst he was down. I'm sure Miles will appreciate such tactics.
Yep I reckon its a real possibility. King will want to make some money and that means either Cotto or Pacquiao but Pacquiao has bigger fish to fry.
A Cotto match makes good sense for Mayorga as Cotto is the smaller man and fights at a slow pace. The fight would also be at light middle and realisticly that will be Ricardos optimum fighting weight seeing as his welter days were 7 years ago! He would be in better shape than coming in at 162 and has 9 good rounds behind him now.
The more impressive thing about his fight last night was that after more than 2 years out he had enough stamina to beat up and drop a naturally stronger man late in the fight. Andy Lee couldnt make Walker go down but Ricardo did. Hes a strong bastard and I reckon if he knuckled down in training with this walker match giving him sharpness he could treat Cotto like a ragdoll!
He did train hard for the Mosley fight I think but he just lacked sharpness and stamina from not having fought for a year or so. All he needs now is to stay active and that will give him a good chance to not only keep his name out there and make himself a viable opponent but also get him physically ready to throw his haymakers all night long![]()
