TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 Well, after Oscar/Hopkins disappointed, Mayorga/Tito sure as hell did not. What a fight with 8 rounds of pure excitement and Tito landing 66% of his punches in an extraordinary performance. Mayorga showed a lot of balls but he got owned. GIVE ME TITO/HOPKINS NOW!
Guest TheHulkster Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 5 rounds in and I was thinking Mayorga wasn't human. The boxing world ain't ready for the return of Tito. This man is going to dominate again. Fight of the Year
Eclipse Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 Hell yeah...that was a return fight and that's how it should be have been! That domination was in the first round, and Mayorga got overly cocky, and did a little dance, but them punches Trinidad landed did some damage. After seeing Mayorga take a couple of body shots, and the overall tiredness, I felt a TKO coming, and it happened. Welcome back Tito...
snuffbox Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Ricado Mayorga has retired following his ko loss.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Posted October 8, 2004 Hahahaha! Tito knocked Mayorga into retirement. TITO~!
NoCalMike Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 so what does Tito do now? The money would obviously be TITO vs. HOPKINS: THE REMATCH I am salivating.... btw....are they replaying the fight on HBO this weekend?

Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Damn, Mayorga's one of my favorite fighters, too. He's not particularly great, but he hits hard, he's macho and mean, fearless, and he smokes.

He's not particularly great, but he hits hard, he's macho and mean, fearless, and he smokes. Plus, hes currently facing a rape charge in Nicaragua...hes basically a middleweight Mike Tyson... I doubt his retirement will last more than a year or so.
snuffbox Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Trinidad might apparently fight undisputed welterweight champion Cory Spinks next... -From boxingscene.com The wheels are in motion for undisputed welterweight champion Cory Spinks to move up two weight classes to challenge Felix Trinidad at the middleweight level. Both camps have sent feelers to eachother with respect to making the fight. The fighters, their camps and HBO are all interested in making this fight a reality in the first quarter of 2005. The question in my mind is why would Cory Spinks take this fight and why would Felix Trinidad take this fight. This would be the second fighter in a row that would jump two weight classes in order to fight Trinidad. Spinks in his last "big" fight was almost knocked out by the much smaller Zab Judah who was moving from 140 pounds. If Judah can do that to Cory, what could Tito do with one hard shot. It is obvious that Spinks is doing this for the money, feeling Trinidad is the much bigger fight then a Judah rematch, but I can't recall any other time when an "undisputed" champion would move up two weight classes to challenge a fighter that is coming back from a two year retirement. Cory rules his division since he got all the gold, all roads lead to him at 147. A jump up to 160 may result in one or more of the sanctioning bodies stripping him of his title belts. Trinidad is not a wild swinging Mayorga or a clowning Judah. Trinidad is an accurate boxer-puncher that comes to destroy, he is one of the best finishers in the game and loves to get the knock out. I think this the wrong fight for Spinks, he will be out of his league at 160 pounds. Trinidad on the other hand should not feast on anymore welterweights and take on a legit middleweight, maybe a Howard Eastman or a Robert Allen. Trinidad needs to face legit 160 pound fighters in order to prepare himself for a Hopkins rematch. Tito will not get the proper preparation for Hopkins by facing men that are moving up two weight classes to face him. Both men need to rethink their desire to make this fight and find the proper roads for their careers. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=85
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Spinks will never get a better payday than Trinidad. The part about the alphabet organizations stripping Spinks is just plain silly. No real boxing fan gives a flying fuck about what those organizations do anymore.
snuffbox Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 I agree alkeiper... Im confidant Tito would ko Spinks...but Cory would make millions, and really wouldnt lose anything.
