oscar by dec. i dont think he has the power to ko mayonaise, but he will make him look silly for twelve rounds.

[Hitman Homer]

Anyone know the undercard fights? Are they airing those on the PPV?

I picked Oscar by Dec, but hope he knocks out Mayo.

mayorga's taking this fight and maybe even by decision
he'll impress the judges with agression and have oscar unsteady early- take those rounds
lose some middle rounds
then take the last 2
although ko oscar early could happen but i think mayo coul win this on the cards
regardless mayo's winning this fight

Yes Keystone is correct.

The bolded is really the modus for how I think the fight will play out. Oscar has some trouble in dealing with pressure, when applied steadily. I don't know when I've seen him in against someone on Mayorga's level when it comes to "pressure" per say. We know Oscar can put his combinations together and really has no problem letting his hands go. We also know that Mayorga is like a tank......and Oscar might not have anything that could slow him down.

I'd say this is a matter of Oscar's preparation, and really that's all the fight comes down to. It's not Oscar being "superior" or "not on his level"....it's an even fight, and the guy who want's it more....should get it.

Key Questions:

1. Can Oscar maintain a successful gameplan for 12 rounds, and keep Mayorga at bay with some shots of his own?

2. Will Mayorga overpower or outpoint Oscar based on his aggression alone? Will the judges turn a blind eye to Oscar's pitter patter punches....and pay attention to those thrown with more intentions from Mayorga?


I'd say #2 is more critical, and that's how I think the fight will more than likely play out.

i think judges' misperception could come into play just as in second forrest fight (even though i disagree w/ rwk- i had mayo 7-5 but it could have gone either way) especially if oscar is unsteady early ala vargas fight early
his experience and savvy will win him the middle rounds - usually when mayo seems to look a little gased
of course mayo ususally comes on again late and oscar will fade a bit- mayo's late aggression takes these rounds
it goes to the cards and mayo takes it

side note* one judge is from italy - i know this is far fetched but i have heard euro judges favor boxers and mayo insulted italian michele picirillo not to long ago
