Support Mayorga

[Zerwas1]

Mayorga is cool, not very technical but always fun to watch and one crary man.
I bet if I could understand spanish I would like him even more. Althought I like Mosley too, I want Mayorga to win. WAR

mayorga is a great guy to watch

hes electrfying and is one of the true warriors in the sport

i like shane too, so im officially neutral for this fight, wouldnt feel right rooting for ne over the other

have a feeling ricardo will be aggressive and impose himself on a shane that isnt as quick as he used to be, but shane will still fight effectively with clean hard counters and movement

ricardo by SD is my pick, i think he will get it on aggression

by shane SD or UD is very likely also

this thread is for people to get behind and support Ricardo,

jump on the bandwagon now cause its taking off again

What’s in a name, or in this case, a nickname? “El Matador” is defined by the Encarta Dictionary as “the main bullfighter in a bullfight, whose job is to kill the bull”. The title evokes images of grace, fluidity and artistry. It is the nickname of a man who possesses fast hands, darting feet and deadly accuracy. Yet “El Matador” is not the moniker of the future hall of fame boxer-puncher from Pomona, California aptly dubbed “Sugar”. Rather, it is the handle of one hard punching former street thug from Managua, Nicaragua christened Ricardo Mayorga.

This is not to say Mayorga is all bull. In his most recent outing against “Ferocious” Fernando Vargas in November ’07, Mayorga out-boxed and out-smarted his fading foe. Mayorga’s boxing and defensive prowess surprised Vargas, as it did most ringside observers. The result was a majority decision victory that wasn’t all that close. But such boxing virtuosity wasn’t always the case. More times than not Mayorga was the bull “whose job is to kill the matador.” In his 2002 rematch against Andrew “Six Heads” Lewis, Mayorga’s savagery prompted a name change for Lewis. Thereafter Lewis would be known to some as “Six Heads, No Chin”. In his next fight Mayorga extended his chin and invited Vernon “The Viper” Forrest to hit it. This ultimate act of intimidation worked as Mayorga went on to stop Forrest inside three.

With Mayorga the bull rush is not confined to the ring. Beyond the ropes Mayorga has the refinement of a bull in a china shop. In 2006, Mayorga challenged Oscar De La Hoya’s manhood throughout their prefight press tour. And in 2007, Mayorga upped the ante when he started a pre-fight brawl with Vargas following taunts of “fatty”.

In boxing, the nickname “Sugar” comes with great expectations. “Sugar” Ray Robinson is generally regarded as the greatest fighter of all time. The next “Sugar” to captivate boxing became the biggest draw of the 80s. “Sugar” Ray Leonard’s star shone in and out of the ring. For his part, “Sugar” Shane Mosley has worn the crown well. Mosley turned pro in 1993 and won his first world’s championship in 1997. Defending his lightweight title five times in 1998, Mosley was named the Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America. Heading into his 2002 welterweight championship bout with Forrest, the undefeated Mosley was atop most pound-for-pound lists. Though he suffered his first defeat in that fight, Mosley would bounce back in 2003 by defeating De La Hoya for the 154 pound title. After back to back losses to Ronald “Winky” Wright in 2004, Mosley worked his way back into title contention. In 2007, Mosley dominated Luis Collazo over 12 rounds to become a two-time welterweight champion.

On Saturday, September 27, “Sugar” Shane Mosley will square off against Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. But who will bull and who will box? Will Mayorga box as he did against Vargas or will he revert to his familiar bruising form? Will Mosley bully the bully or will we witness the sweet science?
