For all his bravado and trash talk, the man has the soul of warrior. He took some huge shots and kept comng back for more. My respect level for him has increased dramatically.
Mayorga is a warrior

I was very impressed by Mayorga- I have always liked his unusual antics and wild style, but tonight I think he really earned the respect of fight fans. He took eight rounds of beating that most would have been unable to stand up to for half of that time- most of the fight spitting some fire in return!Comment

That's what makes Mayorga great. He only knows one thing. Courage. No matter how bad he can be outboxed or outclassed, he'll keep coming at you. He lacks a lot of the boxing skills though for the entertainment he provides, no loss in respect or to the sport. I really can't wait to see Mayorga fight again.(Hopefully not PPV!).Comment

Mayorga earned my respect throughout the whole fight but more so in the 8th round. After the DEVASTATING body shot he took, he fell over and was spitting blood/saliva at the count of 7 but still got up before 10. He proved he won't take a KO and will make the ref stop it before he quits. He really earned my respect tonight. I thought he had heart but he proved it tonight. Mayorga > anyone 160 and below, including Hopkins, but, obviously, not Trinidad.Comment

If there's anything that should be admired in the guy it's his big fighting heart and conviction. If he could only learn how to control his big mouth I'm sure he will become one of the most sought after fighter of today.Comment

Micky Ward had his biggest paydays at a time where he had 10+ losses on his record.
The way Mayorga fights, he will sometimes lose. He didn't lose any fans tonight though; he probably gaines some who didn't like him before his performance.
He's still one of the best at 147 - I hope he goes down in weight.Comment

I'm so happy Tito won and i am even more happier that my prediction was correct like many others in such an unpredictable fight BUT i have to say i feel sorry for Mayorga now. I always imagined that when he got beat he'd be down and out but i guess is does really deserve the name "El Matador". He is a true warrior in every sense of the word and i just really hope he moves back down like Yuit says and fights on. He's still one of the most electrifying fighters out there and nobody brings that explosivness to fights that he does.

I think Mayorga should drop down to 154, imagine him against Mosley or Winky Wright, I think he knocks out Mosley (he is half shot) and if Wright cant contain him then he get's sparked too although I think he might be too cute, however he does like to brawl now and then to prove himself.
If he got drawn into a toe to toe exchange I think Mayorga would win, like someone else stated Ward got some very good paydays at the end of his career and think win or lose Mayorga will always give 100% value for moneyComment
