This really bums me out. I was hoping for a cash-out slugfest with someone like an Angulo, Jacobs or Margarito. What MMA weight would he pigeonhole into? I guess he'd be an "MMA welter"? He wore 164 comfortably enough in the Vargas fight. What's the deal with this Shine org? Third rate? Fourth?
Welterweight MMA is 170. I don't think Mayorga would fit there very well. He fought Shane at 154, so he should fight Lightweight MMA at 155.
MMA Welterweight is 156-170 Better to err on the side of beefing up a bit, than to risk being weight-drained in foreign territory with brand new demands on your body in terms of stamina and conditioning that you've never had to deal with before. Just because he made light middle toward the end of his boxing career doesn't mean he did so comfortably.
Don't think he belongs in MMA period, but yeah I'll definitely buy some third-rate organization's PPV to check it out as a long time Matador fan. Unless it's over $30. :yep
Off-topic a bit - you going to the Lopez/Gamboa/Solis/Duddy/Martirosyan card at MSG next month? I'd love to get an ESB crew together but my thread in the General Forum doesn't seem to be picking up much steam. :conf
I'm not really sure. My father gets free tickets to MSG events from his job all the time. I probably wouldn't mind going. I'm just not to crazy about Gamboa and I can't stand Duddy. But I wouldn't be suprised If I end up going. I go to the fights more times than not.
well i dont have a clue what your point is?? whats your point? the guy said boxing was dying and MMA was thriving and his proof was to watch a "fedor youtube video" i was disputing it...obviously hes an idiot
Because you feebly tried to dissect Fedor's career and discredit MMA when you clearly dont have a clue about neither.
