It's been a tough week for Don King Productions as future hall of famer Marco Antonio Barrera was forced to withdraw from his bout with Amir Khan due to a cut he suffered in sparring over the weekend. Now we've received word that former welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga has pulled out of his HBO bout with Alfredo Angulo due to an "injury" suffered in training camp. No word on any replacements, but stay tuned our front page for all the latest.

Other sites including this one say Barrera-Khan is still on

People are saying MAB - Khan is still going ahead, don't know about the Mayorga fight though.

**SickmyDuck** · 02-03-2009, 02:56 PM

No other site besides b-talk is reporting about Mayorga withdrawing either

Hopefully its not true

The biggest question mark about this report is how it states that Barrera "suffered a cut in sparring over the weekend." Hello? HE GOT THE CUT IN AN ACTUAL FIGHT, one that has been widely reported on as well.

I certainly hope the Mayorga news isn't true, but it wouldn't surprise me. When was the last time Ricardo had to make below 160 for a fight that wasn't a huge payday?

Even the Vargas fight was worth his while to get in to some kind of shape. A fight against a prospect doesn't seem like enough to light the fire, but I hope I'm wrong.

Erm, sarcasm....Barrera v a 7-1 late sub was deemed by most as, you guessed it......glorified sparring
