WBC super welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga arrives in New York City...

 

Mayorga wore his Sunday's best to Thursday's press conference in New York. Mayweather Sr. (R) wore red while Oscar is really seeing red. Hopkins, who has staged a few shows of his own, seems amused at Mayorga's ridiculous antics. Don King seems bewildered and this fight needs no more hype. Word has it that Mayorga must have a death wish...

Don King calls for a truce, Oscar wants quiet, Hopkins seems to be enjoying the chaos as Carl King seems to be trying to figure out how did it get to this point?? Meanwhile, Mayorga continues to taunt and harass the Golden Boy.


In New York City today Mayorga told a pro-Oscar crowd, "I know you guys love de la Hoya a lot. I love him too, so much so that on May 6th I am going to send him back to you in a body bag. He has disrespected me by saying he is going to fight in September, he doesn't know that on May 6th he may lose his life."
Oscar did his best to keep his anger in check, and his only response to Mayorga's on-going tirade was, 'I am going to knock you out come May 6th, I am going to knock you out, you'll see."
