Mayorga Emotional: Time To Hang Up The Gloves, Say Goodbye

Mayorga Emotional: Time To Hang Up The Gloves, Say Goodbye

By Elisinio Castillo

Former welterweight and junior middleweight champion, Ricardo 'El Matador' Mayorga, 44 years old, has finally decided to call it a day for his professional career.

Mayorga was last seen in the ring last November, when he traveled over to Russia and was stopped after nine rounds in a super middleweight contest with undefeated prospect Andrey Sirotkin (14-0).

Originally Mayorga had planned to continue fighting, but he's had a change of heart on the matter.

Mayorga burst on the scene in 2002, when he knocked out Andrew 'Six Heads' Lewis to capture the WBA welterweight title.

He made a big statement the following year, by beating the late Vernon Forrest in back to back fights to also capture the WBC welterweight title.

But he lost both belts to Cory Spinks in an IBF, WBA, WBC unification bout in December of 2013.

He captured the vacant WBC junior middleweight title in 2005 with a decision win over Michele Piccirillo, but lost the title the following year to Oscar De La Hoya.

Mayorga also had memorable bouts with Felix Trinidad, Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto.

"When I was a kid, I promised my mother that I would become the boxing world champion," Mayorga said during an emotional interview on Nicaraguan television.

"I had 112 amateur fights, 107 I won and 5 I lost by decision, then I crossed to the professional ranks. When I had about 27 professional fights I jumped to the big stage.

"I think that the sport is for young people and I think I'm already at the point [where I'm not young anymore]. I think it's time to hang up the gloves and say goodbye to boxing. I'm very grateful to God because I've received a lot of applause [from the people], I've received awards, medals, scrolls, trophies and many titles... I have them all in an exhibition in my house."

Mayorga leaves the ring with a record of 32 wins, 10 defeats, 1 draw and 26 wins by way of knockout.

Mayorga was must see tv at one point just due to the fukkery and fades he brought.

In a sport as up and down as boxing that counts for something. I was entertained by his career.

I had no idea son was still boxing; I honestly haven't thought about him since Vernon Forrest passed. Those press conferences for their bouts was pure comedy. I remember where he was talking in Spanish, and said that he was upset that Vernon Forrest hadn't gotten him a Father's Day gift cause everyone knew he was his father.... The translator had this look like and Mayorga gave him the head nod like "go on, say it"

 

[Scottie Drippin]

One thing for certain. Mrs Mayorga ain't raise no bytch

“In any weight class I’m stronger than him. This is all about the hormones that you have in your body, and I have too many men’s hormones in my body, and he doesn’t. He has some girl’s hormones in his body, so I’m stronger than him no matter what.” (About Fernando Vargas)


“I want to stop his heart, I want to stop his heart or detach his retina, one of the two. I really want to do damage to him.” (About Oscar De La Hoya)


“After I kill [Fernando] Vargas, I will volunteer to be the step-dad to Vargas’ kids after his death.”


“I will knock out Vernon Forrest in two rounds whether I have a cigarette or not. I know a lot of people want to see me fight more rounds. So, if HBO wants, they can pick two sparring partners for me to fight after I knock out Forrest. That way, the audience can see me fight 12 rounds.”


“All my fans, especially my Latino fans and Nicaraguan fans, I promise you I will become world champion. After I become world champion [Michele] Piccirillo can go back to Italy and make pizza or pasta or whatever it is he does over there.”


“Spinks, I promise to reunite you to your dead mother.” (After Cory Spinks dedicated their bout to his recently deceased mother)


“I’m going to give [Fernando] Vargas the chance to cash his last paycheck. I would like to say publicly that Fatty Vargas has always feared me. I conceded to take this fight at 162 pounds because fatty couldn’t lose any more weight. I will do Vargas a favor by retiring him in this fight so his family doesn’t have to suffer every time he steps in the ring. I’m going to do his wife a favor and not let her cry anymore.”


“I am upset because he did not call me for Father’s Day. I am going to give him a whipping because I did not get my present.” (About Vernon Forrest)


“You remind me of an old lady that’s past her prime that should be sitting home in a rocking chair doing nothing.” (To Oscar De la Hoya)


“This will be Shane’s permanent return home because the old lady needs a home.” (About Shane Mosley)


(Holding up a photo of Fernando Vargas) “You see this fat girl in this photo? This is the fat girl I am going to knock out. I would like to introduce her to you today. She is Fernando Vargas.”


“This is the first time I will fight someone that is as small as a kid. I think my pants are taller than you.” (To Miguel Cotto)


“You look like my kid’s ass, nice and round.” (To Fernando Vargas)


“On May 6th I’m going to make you my *****. You’re going to be my ***** in my bed anytime I want you. I hate *****es and I’m going to make you my little *****.” (To Oscar De la Hoya)


“Tell your wife to **** you in the morning so you stand and fight me. Don’t take a dive like you did against Bernard Hopkins, ******.” (To Oscar De la Hoya)


“I had a dream last night that I threw a rotten orange at Fernando Vargas and hit him on the chin. `And he went down. And he didn’t get back up. That’s what is going to happen on September 8th.”


“You better start injecting steroids again, because you are going to need it against me.” (To Fernando Vargas)


“Not even [Vernon] Forrest’s dog is going to recognize him when he goes home.”


“In my country, women give birth to men. I will spank [Vernon] Forrest just like a man spanks a boy.”


“After I knock you out Oscar, I look forward to drinking the warm milk from your wife’s breast.”


“When we were doing the HBO shoot, I remember him (Oscar De la Hoya) saying that he was going to take the belt away from me…I go, ‘The only way you’re going to take this belt away from me is if you let me have your wife for a night and I’ll let you have the belt for a hour.’”


“Spinks, you are a ******, I want to sew a pair of nuts on you so you can stand and fight in front of me next time like a man.”


“I’m not going to fight pretty. All I know is how to hit hard. I will hit Tito’s memory right out of his head.” (About Felix Trinidad)


“I am going to carry a 14-pound pig named Vargas into the ring. [Fernando] Vargas is nothing more than a pig. That is all that he is.”


“All I ask of you is that you come and fight like a man. Don’t run or else I’m going to buy you roller blades and a pink outfit to go with the pink gloves I gave to you at the last press conference.” (To Shane Mosley)
