Ricardo Mayorga withdraws from fight with Alfredo Angulo

Fan Post frontpaged by SC.Mayorgasmokes_medium

From BoxingScene.com:

Promoter Gary Shaw has informed BoxingScene.com that former two-division champion Ricardo Mayorga has withdrawn from his February 14 bout with unbeaten junior middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo

Shaw tells BoxingScene that as soon as he heard Mayorga was pulling out, he began working around the clock to secure a suitable replacement.

"I am working on getting someone right now. We have to be careful with switching up an opponent with only twelve-days notice. I would fight Cornelius Bundrage. I would fight Alfonso Gomez. There are a few other names," Shaw said.

Additional comments by SC:

I'm sure that Shaw (Angulo's promoter) would gladly put Bundrage or Gomez in there, because neither of them are a a threat to Angulo, particularly Gomez. Bundrage is the better fight there, but we're talking about what was supposed to be an HBO main event. I'd assume Campbell-Funeka will move up to main event status, with Angulo's fight bumped down, potentially to the televised opener, given that Martinez-Cintron is a better fight than what Shaw will be able to find on 11 days' notice.

This is also hardly surprising, given that Mayorga no-showed the promotional event in Florida last week. One wonders (1) if Mayorga is anywhere close to in shape and (2) if Ricardo simply got cold feet.

I had Mayorga getting crushed anyway. He had a punchers chance, but Angulo is a cleaner punching brawler, without the years of abuse. I would’ve liked to see it though.

Lame on Mayorga’s part, though no great loss really.

I think it could've been a hell of a brawl

Angulo-Bundrage, erm, not so much.

“Bundrage is the better fight there”

Words I never, ever thought I’d see in print.

One hundred percent true though. Bundrage at least isn’t a punching bag.

That’s nothing compared to the way he came out looking walking along side of david diaz before facing Pacman.

Anyone that has any decency... please let me know if the Urango-Ngoudjo's 10th round fight is over.

That sucks. It would have been a fun fight to watch.

The rumor going around

is Alfonso Gomez vs Angulo.

Kassim Ouma

Has been publicly lobbying for the fight as well.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

I love Ouma but at this point he would be creamed vs Angulo. He just doesn’t have the workrate that made him a special fighter.

Sad but true

Ouma’s one of my all-time faves, but I think he’s done. His heart isn’t in it anymore.

My first post…

I am bummed out about Mayorga pulling out, he may not be the best but he sure comes to fight and always provides good laughs. I hope they get someone to fill in and save the card which looks good.

Yours truly

Ouma’s tough and would give a game effort, but he really looks done and I’d rather not see him get battered by Angulo.

by A.F. on Feb 4, 2009 5:47 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

of the three

I’d go:

1. Ouma (because he always comes to fight)
2. Bundrage (because he’s not a total pushover)
3. Gomez (because he kinda sucks, honestly)

According to Dan Rafael's blog

- Mayorga actually pulled out over money

- it sounds like Daniel Edouard will be the replacement. Not as big of a test as some of the others, but potentially a more entertaining fight and still a test nonetheless.
