Making boxing look bad. His opponent was a kimbo slice backyard brawler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRNgkJ1CWqw :verysad:verysad:verysad
Come back to us, Ricardo. You have a place in boxing. (just stay the **** away from King, unless he still has a slaver's collar around your neck...in which case hopefully the old fart keels over in time for you to come back and make a few bucks free of his contracts...)
Funnily enough he shown more new techniques than alot of other boxers who made the switch i.e. Mercer and Toney. Stuffing take downs, pinning on the cage etc On the flip side he showed a huge amount of naivety i.e. gassing his arms with a choke from his back on the side. Theres potential but he is old and fat. Had he taken to this 10 years ago and dedicated himself then who knows. The worst thing is that the boxers making the switch stuggled to commit to their chosen sport - Toney, Mercer and Mayorga. There would be some interest if someone like Hopkins or Mayweather genuinely took a stab at it like professional athletes.
This circus doesn't do boxing look anything, sorry.And his oponent is a mma instructor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuLJs79OwY0 And a pro-mma fighter (and undefeated): http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rene-Martinez-53510 Plus Mayorga is shot, old, and largely out of his natural weightclass.And probably he didn't even trained at all. MMA is the only who looks bad if anything, sanctioning this kind of bullshits and making them ppv treatament.
Boxing and MMA are both under the same sanctionaing bodies in the US, and probably are there too. atsch
