"I can't wait to get my hands on Tito," said former WBC/WBA welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga today from the Fight Club Gym in Miami. Mayorga, who faces former three division champion Felix Trinidad on October 2, said Tito is a "poor shell" of his former self and predicted an easy knockout. For legal reasons, he would not comment on his recent legal problems in Nicaragua, but stated "the problems that I have really haven't been any problem. They pretty much slide off me. At this point I find myself readily prepared to take on Tito."

Below are more quotes from the always colorful Ricardo Mayorga:

Why he's confident of a KO victory:
Generally good boxers don't go down that easy. We know that Tito has a weak chin and I think think it's going to be easy knocking him out.....From the first round I'll be looking for the knockout.....I predict the fight will end between rounds three and five. I really don't want to cause the Trinidad family any more grief, so I ask the father to stay close and not let the fight go on any longer than needed.

On Tito's two-year layoff:
It will affect him immensely. Tito is basically retired from boxing and a boxer who retires from boxing no longer has it in his heart. I think Tito's not going to be the Tito of old. He's going to be a poor shell of himself on October 2.

On the prospects of the fight going a decision:
In order to Trinidad to last with me for twelve rounds, he's going to have to be born again with a new jaw because there's no way he's going to withstand my pressure.

On the $100,000 bet with Trinidad:
It's a real bet. It's not putting any sort of pressure on me. In fact, I'm going to make sure he pays me the $100,000 after the fight. WIth that money, I'm going to buy myself a limousine in Nicargua and name it 'Tito' so everyone can remember when I knocked out Tito.

On fighting before a hostile crowd in the Garden:
In the type of shape I find myself right now training here in Miami at the Fight Club, I think there are going to be no distractions whatsoever. We have to keep in mind that there might be 16,000 Puerto Ricans in the stands, but I'm only fighting one in the ring, Tito Trinidad, so he'd better watch out.

On Oscar De La Hoya vs Bernard Hopkins:
I thought it was a boring fight.....My respects to Oscar. He proved to me that he was brave standing in front of Bernard, trying to take the fight to him. I respect his decision to stay down on the canvas although I think he could have gotten up. I think his time is up and I think it's my time now.

On future opponents he'd like to face.
Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Fernando Vargas, Winky Wright.....if I come down [in weight] it would be to 154 pounds. That would be the lowest I'd go.....or they can come to 160.

Gotta love Mayorga.

He can talk all the talk he wants - he'll back it up Oct. 2 with a 3rd round KO.

Sounds about right.
Here's to an easy KO from Mayorga.

Remember what this man says.

He's a clown, he gonna get ktfo... :D

He's a clown, he gonna get ktfo... :D
No way a real fighter can be knocked out by a *****.
Not even if the ***** is using casts again.

Easy night for Tito. Mayorga will be lucky to see round 6. Mayorga has a good chin but so did Vargas. It takes skill to beat Tito. I like Mayorga so this is gonna be a tough fight to watch. I like Tito too so it'll be fun to watch. So many complications come up when you're a fan of both fighters. I might as well just cheer for Tito since he's gonna win.

vargas good chin? how you figure that? lol

Im 50/50 on this and thats for real.

PS
Vargas has never had a chin

Vargas had never been down before he fought Trinidad. Should I have expected him to have a glass jaw because he had never been knocked down?

I honestly hope MAyorga gets k****ed the **** out by Tito and then Tito fights DLH

great line by mayorga:a fighter that retires and then comes back doesnt come back with his heart...he said it again in this interview again just a lil different..but i like that line

anyway...yeah u gotta love mayorga...from when u see him at the weight-in eating pizza on the scale to him -blowing smoke in larry's face in the post fight interview..lol...anyway love him or hate hime..he brings drama to boxing which we need some fun right now cuz guys were living threw one of the sorriest era..except for welter and featherweight those are good now

like i said before i would love to see tito get ko'ed why u may ask

first RJJ then oscar...damn if we could on see one more legend fall...then we could say we lived threw a crap era...but atleast i got to see.....(get me)

Mayo will be the first to beat Tito without using skills , pure power to Tito 2 year ring dusted chin :eek:

yeah..if ricardo beat tito it will be by power..there is no boxing coming from mayorga...hes kinds like a mini tyson..anyway yeah..lol..i jsut thought of soemthing funny..

"Tito" the ***** isn't a legend, far from it.
He will be just another overrated ***** getting his ass knocked out.

Ok Dr_Cynical

here's a deal for you. This fight is right around the corner.

I'll bet you ALL the points I have against ALL the points you have at the time of the fight that Tito wins.

since you seem so confident that Mayoirga will destroy "The *****" Tito Trinidad as you call him

how bout it?

winner take all

Tito=Me

Mayorga=You

how bout it? a winner takes all bet...you know unless your scared

That's not exactly fair.
You only have 900, I have alot more than you do.
I'll bet 1,000 since you're not too far away from that number and I'd like to keep some points for other bets.

So 1,000 for Mayorga to win.
Happy?

*****

I'll bet whatever I got at the time of the fight and you match it.

sounds good

Sounds fair, unlike the previous suggestion.

I just figured you were sooo confident in this fight because all you do is talk about what a big ***** Tito is.

guess your not that confident after all...but hey whatever

lol The only reason you keep pushing this is due to the fact that if you lose you don't lose much.
However, if you win, you'd win alot more than I'd get from you.

So we will just stick to what was said earlier and leave it at that.

*cough*******cough*

*cough*******cough*
Mmhmm..
Cheap bastard.
/without the typed out coughing noises. ;)

hey listen I cant blame you

I wouldn't want to bet all my money against Tito either. Especially when he's fighting a bum like Mayorga

Ah yes, more taunting.
Not going to work Jose.
Unless you magically reach 5,000 points, you won't get me to bet all my points. :p

At least Mayorga doesn't have to use casts to win. ;)

Ah yes, more taunting.
Not going to work Jose.

*sighs*

damn it!!!

Mayorga is gonna get beat alot worse than DLH did.

Why do you keep saying that Tito used casts? The way his father wraps his hands never improved power; on the contrary, they are meant to reduce risk of injury to the hand and, as such, are more of a cushion to the fist (thereby reducing the power of the punch). People, use your God-given brain and ask yourself how adding a layer of gauze could've improved punching power. Let me punch you with my hands wrapped like Tito wrapped them and then with my bare fist and you tell me which one hurts more, deal?

Bernard used the excuse as a psycological tactic. The NYSAC (New York State Athletic Commision) said that the hand wraps were legal but asked Tito to redo them anyway because of how adamant Hopkins was about the issue. So, quit talking out of your ass and get the facts.

As for this fight, Mayorga will not get past the 5th round, as he so eloquently predicted. He calls the fight to end between rounds 3 and 5; he's absolutely right! He can't take the power Tito brings to the table.

As for a retired fighter staying retired: what about Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mohammad Ali, and all the other countless fighters who have retired and then came back to win championships? Flawed logic, that's all.

yeah, logic would tell you that. really good post.

jose i'll donate whatever i can to help you out free of charge. i agree if he was so confident in mayorga winning he wouldn't have to care about losing anything. obviously he is not as confident as he says.

Way to go, PRBoxing fan...

This is a myth that continues to carry on through the jealous stupidity of Trinidad-haters.

The only way it helps Tito's power, is that the way his hands are wrapped allows him to throw his punches without worry of injury.

Do you clowns who believe this bunk realize that 99% of the time Tito fights he uses Reyes gloves ?
yes....Reyes gloves are already close to the fist, & rock hard as far as boxing gloves go.
To think some extra tape & gauze can lead to such dramatic results....get a damn life, please.

jose i'll donate whatever i can to help you out free of charge. i agree if he was so confident in mayorga winning he wouldn't have to care about losing anything. obviously he is not as confident as he says.
I shall do the same, i am gunning for tito to win also.
I have some in the bank gaining interest but i will give you what i have when the time comes. You will be a rich man Jose ;)

While i do think tito will be the biggest fight of El Matadores career. To say he gonna definetly get KTFO or he cant handle Titos poer is funny. Where is your prove he can't handle it?
I'm 50/50 on this fight. Mayorga is what he is. However, is Tito all or any bit of what he once was? Thats why I give El Matodor a 50/50 chance. I say there realy is no smart money bet on this one. However, I will be fukin glued to the TV for this one ;)

Jose will pay you two back( plus some of the winnings) when I take all his money. i will have 2000 by the weakend just from posting and hopefull Roy will come through with a TKO/KO cause I got 365 on it.

I feel sorry for Tito..all of his fans better hope he gets injured before the fight..

cynical, i'd like to get in on this bet as well, this is easy money. just match my points at the time of the fight, like jose said, me=tito you=mayorga.
Sure, why not?

It's because I have other bets going on.
Not just this one.
Like I said, if he has more, I'll put up the same amount.

I feel sorry for Tito..all of his fans better hope he gets injured before the fight..
lol He will.
He'll break a nail and claim serious injury.
Or he'll see a PR flag touch the ground and claim emotional instability.
He's such a *****. :p

Mayorga has as good a chance to beat Tito as DLH did to beat Hopkins. Mayorgas awesome but he's goin to sleep!

Dr_Cynical is gonna be hanging out with Tyson in the homeless shelter after he gets rolled in this Tito/Mayorga fight


Im down with 2000 Cynical

lol Even if I do lose, which I won't.
I'll still have like 3,000 left in the bank.

thats only because your too scared to take a winner take all bet

thats only because your too scared to take a winner take all bet
Not scared, just two reasons why I won't do it.
1. You don't have the same amount of points as I do.
2. I have other bets.

yup....sounds scared to me

yup....sounds scared to me
Sounds like you just don't want to gather enough points to make this bet fair.
Or maybe, you do have the points but are afraid yourself that "Tito" the ***** will get his ass kicked.

how do you gather points so fast?

The only way I get points is by posting

To be honest, I don't know.
All I do is post, give karma, receive karma, and play the arcade games.

I'd like for Cynical to answer my last post. I guess he just can't argue with logic.

I think Tito will KO Mayorga simply because we haven't seen Mayo take the type of power that Tito brings to the ring. He might've had a granite chin in the lower weight classes, but we'll have to see how he does in the Middleweights.

I'm sure if I said that Bernard would KO Mayo nobody would argue it. We can see, by looking at the Joppy fights, that Tito has more power than Bernard. Now, do you still want to say that Tito won't KO Mayo?

Sure, why not?

cool, "the *****" is gonna make my account fatter.

Dr. Cynical...When did you fight Trinidad again? was it in 1999? Cause you are real quick to refer ti him as *****, but...something tells me, If you shared a cell with Tito, he would be the man. Funny right? *****! :eek:

Mexican huh? Sorry for what we did to Vargas....Hahahahahaha

As much as I like Tito i think this is a very dangerous fight for him. He definitly has the edge in power but Mayorga is fast, strong, and very unpreditable. His chin being made of granite doesn't hurt either. My gut says Tito in 7 but im gonna be glued to the screen.

lol As I previously stated in another thread, you are in desperate need of some sense.
Although I'm not a big guy or a fighter, I'm pretty sure "Tito" would be the *****.
His face, his style, and his way of just giving up when being pressured or put down makes me think he wouldn't do well in jail.

As for my race, here's how it breaks down.

Mexican/German/Puerto Rican/Spanish/Indian

Btw, I don't give a **** about Vargas.
I was actually happy to see Trinidad beat the **** out of that ****er.

i told you this guy was a CHICKEN GAY

he gave away all his money instead of losing it by betting on Mayorga

i told you this guy was a CHICKEN GAY

lol I've already got 1,000.
So quit *****ing, you'll get your bet.
Because there is no way in hell I am passing up betting on "Tito" getting his ass knocked out.

I'll go easy on you and only make it 3000

Easy night for Tito. Mayorga will be lucky to see round 6. Mayorga has a good chin but so did Vargas. It takes skill to beat Tito. I like Mayorga so this is gonna be a tough fight to watch.

vargas had a good chin??...man u guys say anything on this dam boxing site

Ok Vargas didn't have the best chin around but it wasn't weak! He had never been knocked down before he fought Tito. Everybody is saying Mayorga has a good chin because he has never been down or hurt. So when Tito knocks Mayorga out is he going to suddenly have a glass jaw? Vargas was only stopped twice in his career. People said RJ had a good chin and he was stopped twice in a row.
