Ricardo Mayorga continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. If you recall earlier this week, Mayorga slapped Shane Mosley’s girlfriend in the butt during a press conference weigh-in. That led to some pushing, shoving and all around shenanigans from the two camps.
Fast forward to Saturday night’s fight and well, Mayorga went full Mayorga, taunting Mosley with a bizarre crotch grab. As a wise man once said, never go full Mayorga.
Three rounds later, Mosley sent Mayorga to the canvass with a 6th round knockout, connecting with a beautiful left hook body shot.
Mosley doesn’t have much left in the tank as a fighter, but it was nice to see him notch another victory. At 48-9, he’s had a wonderful career. And he’ll keep going because that’s what boxers do these days. They fight well past their prime.
As for Mayorga, he needs to stop. He hasn’t won a fight of any significance since Fernando Vargas in 2007. He’s 41 going on 65. He needs to hang up the gloves before he gets seriously hurt. The butt grabbing and taunting is a lame way of staying relevant in a sport full of colorful and oftentimes inappropriate characters.
He’s a poor man’s version of Floyd Mayweather, a destitute Mike Tyson. Get out while you can, sir.
