The amount of weight Mayorga has lost for this fight cant benefit him at all . He will be weak light Vargas was and I expect a similar spectacuar K.o delivered by Mosley in the middle rounds.

I dont think the weight will be as big a problem for Ricardo as it will for Shane.
Ricardo, by his later standards, had good stamina at 164lbs and still had power up there, I think he had to put weigth on, or rather he felt he needed to so not to let Vargas have any advantge.
Shane on the other hand, is 37 and a fighter who rellys on his speed, at this age and fighting heavier I think he'll be a touch slower, whereas Mayorgas speed and mobility will improve from the Vargas fight.
If the fight had been at 147lb then the weight might have been a worry for Mayorga but I think its gonna slow Shane down more than itll weaken Mayorga.
Shane is slowing anyway with age and getting caught alot more, with the extra weight, long lay off (Yeah Ricardo has had nearly as much time off but we all worry more about Shane getting caught here than Mayorga) and any lasting impression cottos punches had on him.
I know Mayorga didnt train right for Oscar, which is why he got caught using diuretics but he still gav him a scrap till he gassed and hurt him, which is why Oscar has warned Shane of Mayorgas power.
Why would shane be worried about getting hit he has been down once in his career and he has faced good power fighters. Oscar De lay hoya could not even hurt him Oscar has alot power and was quick also. I dont get why you be worried about Mosley getting hit he has not been Koed like Mayorga and with him facing Forrest, Oscar and Vargas and only being knocked down once in all those fights i am not worried about his chin at all and getting hit.
