No he wasn't! Mayorga was stunning him and all over him. Forrest was landing yea, but it had no effect whereas Mayorgas punches were hurting him.
Took Oscar one round to put Mayorga on his ass though -- say's alot of Oscar's power. Tito couldn't even do it with a couple free right hooks.
Mayorga is just crazy enough to offer his chin to Hearns like he did with Tito. The difference being he would get KTFO doing that with Hearns. Hearns KO 3:deal
no he wasn't you idiot. Forrest was making a clown out of Mayorga. Mayorga got a couple of good punches in before the final round, that's it. Forrest won the 2nd fight as well.
Hearns by UD or late KO...Hearns best weight was above 147..Hearns was physically somewhat WEAK at 147 if they fought at 154 or higher Hearns KO'S him in 6
Hearns by ko in around 5 rounds,if Mayorga tried dropping his hands and offering his chin to a Welterweight Hearns he would leve the ring on a stretcher.
I accept on any night a focused Mayorga can give anyone a hard fight,but Tommy is about 28 levels above him in terms of ability.You can pick any brawler and say on a given night he could put up a fight against most ATG's but it's not realistic to draw some sort of comparison.
There would be a slim possibilty that Mayorga would do better than expected, i.e., makes it past the third round, actually landing a few shots on Hearns. No way in hell any version of Mayorga makes it past the 5th.
