ricardo mayorga vs carlos baldomir who wins it?

mayorga wouldnt blast anybody out of the water...baldomir by UD

I put this fight on my wishlist because on paper it seems like a good match-up of styles and personalities. Both fighters have alot of pride and would want to impose their will on the other. I suspect this fight would be a long hard fought battle with Baldomir prevailing via late round KO or UD. In any event, this would be a great undercard for any of the big HBO fights going on next year.

I'd put this one as far from pointless - whats pointless about a very exciting matchup, & an impressive win by either would probably get them a shot at Cotto or Margarito. Way I see it, either Mayorga blasts out Baldomir within the first 6 rounds, or Baldomir wins by UD or late stoppage. Comes down to how much Mayorga has left, but if he can get himself motivated, think it would be an exciting fight.

I'd give Mayorga a slight edge...

Mayorga's not THAT powerful, and Baldomir's all about the pressure. He'd love it if Mayorga tried that with him. Baldomir's got too much skill and too much experience for Mayorga's wild, wide punches to be a problem. I have a feeling that Baldomir would be perfectly happy to stand and bang with Mayorga. Mayorga would over whelm Baldomier imo.

I don't think Baldomir would be able to handle Mayorga's power and pressure. He would get exhausted easily, and he does not have the power to hurt Mayorga.

Mayorga was decent at welterweight. If he could make the weight it would be close.

I don't care if this fight is pointless, i wouldn't mind seeing this fight take place. I think Mayorga has more power, and just a crazy guy. And he would still be able to take flush shots from Baldomier. But the long lay off could hurt Mayorga but i got Mayorga winning by a decicion in an exciting fight.

That could be a good matchup of styles. I see it kind of going the way the Baldy/Gatti fight went though. On the other hand, Mayorga does have enough pop to keep Baldy off. Interesting, but pointless, unless marketed as a " Crossroads " fight.

gotta go with Baldy...late on that is...Mayorga just doesn't have the composure anymore and Baldy is one determined and dedicated mofo........ what a fight though! My thoughts exactly..

Mayorga is not what he once was. The beatings he took from Tito and DLH have lessened him as a fighter. Baldomir seems to be fresher, but with less physical ability. This is a good mathchup but it would not take place at 147. Baldomir is ithcing I'm sure to get out of 147 and Mayorga has enough problems making 154...no way he'd make 147.

ima have to go with mayorga on this one

who do you think would win this fight @ 147..i think this could be a nice battle Good fight, ill go wit Baldy!

The word 'pointless' springs to mind.
