    can't watch video, but why would ricard do this. he's gotta be able to make more money in boxing, he's got a name, some fans, and if got his weight right he could still be competitive or at least get some decent paying fights

    I like how Mayorga says, '...I grew up street fighting and can't wait to get back to fighting using hands and feet..."

    He said he's been training for MMA, when asked if he's trained in Ju-Juitsu or Muay-tai, but didn't elaborate or say in what style or dicipline. So i doubt he's doing any ground work or kicks, He probley feel his wild heavy shots is enough.

    Represent Boxing Mayorga knock these fools out!

    funny
    asking him about training in martial arts in various forms, he hardly perfected boxing its hard to see him trying to train in martial arts

    he is one of my faves though

    I wish he could box again

    Too bad he's taken too many big shots and his chin is not the same. I hope he does well though. He's entertaining. He talks so much **** but is still likeable. :lol:

    He is a bit shop worn now but he has power and durability. These things are needed in a crossover. First thing he must learn is the takedown defence. Then he can learn the rest should he be taken down.

    I wonder at what weight he'll fight.
