Margarito-Mayorga a Real Consideration if Ricardo Wins
If Ricardo Mayorga (29-7, 23KOs) pulls off the upset by beating WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28KOs) on March 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum would seriously consider the possibility of matching him against Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27KOs) in June. A Cotto-Margarito rematch has already been penciled in for the month of June, but a win by Mayorga would spoil those plans.

Solo Boxeo Report: Michael Perez Stops Herrera In Eight
By Jake Donovan - Barely a week removed from his 21st birthday, undefeated lightweight prospect Michael Perez celebrated in style on Friday night with an eighth round stoppage of Marcos Herrera in front of a rabid crowd on hand at Coliseo Felix Mendez Acevedo in Lares, Puerto Rico. Perez weighed 136 lb, while Herrera came in slightly lower at 135 lb. for their Telefutura televised main event. Traveling all the way from Newark, New Jersey, Perez felt right at home as he effectively boxed and brawled throughout his first televised main event. Herrera was game but had no answers for the rising lightweight prospect at any point in the evening.

Chavez Eyes Zbik, Cotto, Margarito, Sylvester Fights
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was not pleased with last Saturday's performance against Billy Lyell before 12,000 of his hometown fans at the Stadium Dorados in Culiacan, Mexico. Chavez won a ten round unanimous decision. He partially blames his performance on inactivity after returning from a seven month layoff. Another partial problem is motivation. He says it's hard to get motivated in camp for these kind of opponents. The Mexican star is tired of facing tough opponents who carry very little name value and says his fans are getting tired too.

Ricardo Mayorga is Still Doing The Money Dance
By Cliff Rold - Since a December 2003 Welterweight unification defeat, he’s averaged exactly one fight per year. He lost three of them by knockout. Those three losses came at the hands of the three of the biggest names of the last decade at Welterweight and Jr. Middleweight: Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, and Felix Trinidad. Of those three, only the Mosley fight did not end up a financial bonanza. It was not surprising; Mosley as an “A-side” to a promotion has rarely shaken the box office to its knees. Put former lineal World Welterweight Champion and Jr. Middleweight titlist Ricardo Mayorga (29-7-1, 23 KO) with a proven draw though and watch out. At least, that must be what Bob Arum’s Top Rank promotional outfit is hoping for. How else to explain one of the most unexpected matches made for the first half of 2011? Having fought only once in 2010, and that in June against feather-fisted Yuri Foreman, the man who stands as arguably the biggest U.S. draw outside of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will return from a nine-month absence from the ring for Mayorga? Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO) couldn’t do better than this?
