Mayorga - Must read

TRAINING CAMP REPORT FROM NICARAGUA
As some of my correspondents know, my absence was due to my recent trip to Nicaragua where I spent some time in Ricardo Mayorga’s training camp for his upcoming fight with Alfredo Angulo. I also covered Nicaragua’s rising female boxing scene and was hired as a consultant for a new adult movie with a boxing theme.
On February 14, 2009, former WBA/WBC welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga, (29 wins, seven losses, and 23 knockouts) will face the undefeated knockout artist Alfredo Angulo (14 wins and 11 knockouts). Mayorga, though underrated, is clearly on the downside of his career having been knocked out in three of his last five bouts.
It might be fair to say that Mayorga hasn’t been able to take a punch well ever since being mauled by Felix Trinidad back in 2004. However, Mayorga’s recent failures can also be chalked up to his huge disciplinary deficiencies when it comes to training. I witnessed Mayorga’s training habits during my recent visit to my native Nicaragua and found them quite interesting.
Daily Training Schedule
11:30am: Mayorga wakes up and drinks one cup of coffee with one slice of lemon and a cheeseburger. This is the breakfast designated by his nutritionist. According to a camp member, Mayorga often deviates from this breakfast and has a shot of Flor de Caña with his cheeseburger. Flor de Caña is an alcoholic beverage from Nicaragua.
12:00pm: Mayorga goes for a three mile run. As part of Mayorga’s training regimen, he is allowed to drink plenty of water during this run and stops frequently to urinate. According to the trainer, this helps to spike metabolism and trigger weight loss.
12:30pm: Mayorga has a lunch that usually consists of an energy drink, pork chops and one banana. Mayorga then goes to the bathroom in order to eliminate any waste.
12:45pm: Mayorga goes to a farm and milks a buffalo. Mayorga then kills a pig with a hammer in order to increase focus and striking power. This pig will be used to cook the pork chops for the next day. Mayorga later attempts to manually catch fish in a brook for hand eye coordination. These are techniques well known to most Nicaraguan fighters.
2:00pm:

Mayorga does 10 rounds of bag and mitt work with trainer Rigoberto Garibaldi. Mayorga takes advantage of the sweltering heat of the country by wearing a rubber suit during this session in order to sweat off pounds. 3:00pm: Mayorga does 15 rounds of sparring with local prospects Hector Vergasana and Pedro Puteras. Mayorga opts not to wear the rubber suit during sparring and strips down to just thong underwear. Mayorga humiliates the fighters during sparring and accuses them of staring at his genitals and saying they are not real men.
5:00pm: Mayorga concludes his training and, unlike other famed fighters, did not wind down in a thermal pool or receive a nude rub down as is usually the norm. He usually just sat down and spoke to reporters or female fans.
After 5:00pm, Mayorga can usually be found at a nearby bar or the popular whorehouse, La Amazona. Although I am told that he does not drink any alcoholic beverages during training, everyone in the neighborhood knows that he can be found in the whorehouse up until 3am on most nights. I interviewed Maribel, a prostitute, and she had this to say:
“Ricardo usually comes here every night when he’s not training and he is really an animal. He loves to f*** and actually prefers to eat pu**y more than to f***. We are sometimes sad when he is training because he can’t visit as much. However, he still comes over at least four days per week and he is the only customer that I’ve seen to pay us to let him eat pu**y. Ricardo says that this gives him power for his fight.”
I was very unimpressed with Mayorga’s training methods and I expect him to lose to Angulo by early knockout. Most Nicaraguans, myself included, just wish that Mayorga would retire and stop embarrassing us. Mayorga respects nothing and could care less about training seriously.
