An absolute barnstormer. Mayorga was seen as crude but effective, Forrest was the next big star of boxing. Surely the man who had just dethroned the great Sugar Shane Mosley would have no trouble out smarting this wild brawling bad lifestyle leading madman right? Wrong! The two things Forrest did not account for in this match: Mayorga's terrible lack of defence and Mayorga's outstanding iron jaw. Forrest found it all too easy tagging Mayorga, he began to get closer and closer in range having success with his ram rod jab and his straight crosses. Mayorga just laughed the shots and came firing back, very soon the fight became a war of attrition, the fight became Mayorga's ideal. They traded blows, every time Forrest went back behind the jab Mayorga swung wildly leaving himself open and encouraging Forrest to go on the attack. Eventually Mayorga's tactic paid off, Forrest lost his gameplan entirely and could not take the blunt force trauma Mayorga was dealing him. Amazingly, just 3 rounds in and Forrest is on his back, the fight is over and this cigar smoking, unskilled, once journey man was the new unified champion of 147.

Great fight whilst it lasted, with another great rematch in which Mayorga proved his success was no fluke. History will show that as heralded as Forrest was and as unheralded as Mayorga is, Vernon was not a match for Ricardo. Unfortunately this series of fights signalled the end of both fighters primes, both would go on to capture a title at 154, but neither would ever reach the lofty heights again.

Saul Alvarez: I come prepared, always. It’s going to be a tought fight but I’m going to demonstrate my abilities in the ring. Hatton’s a great warrior but the title is going home with me to Mexico after Saturday night.

Matthew Hatton: Opportunities mean nothing if you don’t take them. I’ve prepared well, trained harder than ever and I’m well capable of winning. As the fight approaches, I am more and more confident every day. I’m going to beat him. I have no doubt in my mind. It’s going to be a great fight and 100% I am going to be the winner.

Ricky Hatton, President, Hatton Promotions: Matthew is a fighter on a good roll. This is his first fight in the super welterweight division but seeing how he’s prepared, he is ready. I have 100% belief in my brother. He is the underdog but he’s made from the same fiber that I am. We’re not here for the payday. We’re here for the belt.

Jose Sulaiman, WBC President: Saul Alvarez and Matthew Hatton will be fighting for the belt that is the dream of many fighters. English fighters come to the ring to give their very very best just like Mexican fighters. They both fight proudly for their countries. Saul Alvarez is a hero in Mexico. He has as strong merits as anyone out there to fight for the title and all the merit in the world to fight for the championship despite the controversy being generated by Top Rank, Bob Arum and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oscar De La Hoya, President, Golden Boy Promtions: Obviously, when you have a fight card like this, live on HBO, you know you’re going to get two great fights. Besides the two televised fights, we put together an outstanding undercard featuring super middleweight contender Daniel Jacobs, heavyweight prospect Seth Mitchell and middleweight James Kirkland.
