"the bunker"
a couple tidbits of info i came across this morning.......

................bert sugar was on a local sports talk show and said that mayorga was 90-4 as an amateur boxer in nicaragua.......and all 4 losses came vs lefty`s.....

...................he also said that the winner of rahman/ruiz gets the #5 seed in the BCS standings.....i spit coffee onto the dashboard when he dropped that line.....he`s a funny guy.....




........another tidbit in a more serious tone on mayorga drawing the ire of spinks` boys in the east st louis "hood"...from one of spinks` mgmt team.......maybe mayorga needs to put a lid on it....here`s what he said

"The real problem with Mayorga's comments is that they are so offensive and personal that he's raised the ire of Cory's boys in the hood from St. Louis. The comments he made referencing Cory's deceased mother already had these guys - who are coming to the fight in droves - literally up in arms. I really hope his latest comments don't find their way to them. Both Cory's brother and best friend were shot to death in St. Louis under circumstances that involved much less prestige and money than this event. These guys literally want to kill Mayorga. I hope nothing happens to him before or after the fight - but when you act like a thug - sometimes you get treated like one. Ask Tupac and Biggy.

I'm sure as shyte not condoning any of this and Kevin(cory`s manager) is doing all he can to diffuse the situation - but the threats are real and many of these guys have done time. Kevin told DK to increase the security around Mayorga and Kevin's really trying to keep anything from happening. This is all so nuts. I'm 99% sure this will all blow over and turn out to be nothing but . . . who needs this kind of drama for a sporting event".

now,nothing may happen...but the guy that told me this(in response to a question i had regarding mayorga`s trash talking)doesn`t just talk to hear himself talk...

as i said,it probably won`t amount to much....but,the possibility is there for something crazy to happen....(and i`m not talking about some yo-yo parachuting into the ring)....

Very interesting, however I am not suprised that Mayorga
said those things. Also interesting that all 4 of his amateur
losses were to southpaws considering he ko'd 6hds Lewis
(lefty) in 5 rounds not long ago. The way I see it Cory does
not have enough power to keep Mayorga off of him. He has
only 11 ko's in 31 wins and Mayorga has a rock solid chin.
The only way Cory can win is by decision and you can get
that at +600 some places if you are going that way. Try to
stay away from the 12 round decision props as this one
could easily be stopped short by a clash of heads with
Spinks being a lefty and the fact that Mayorga will be
lunging and chasing Spinks all night and Spinks will be
ducking and jerking to get away.

If you like Mayorga, taking him to win inside the distance -110
would be the way to eliminate laying the heavy wood. But I
myself think he will win either way as Spinks doesn't have
enough firepower to match the crazy loadmouth. Personally
I would take Mayorga over anyone short of Mosely and DLH.

btw, the above is for everyone besides gw who already
knows all of this
