HBO's "Countdown to Delahoya-Mayorga" is a joke!!

Just watched this nonsense again. I love how they’re portraying Mayorga as “the former gang leader who rose from a hard life”. Gimme a break!! This seems so scripted it’s ridiculous. And the “fight” they almost got into was very WWF-ish. All they needed was Vince McMahon and a steel cage.

mayorga grew up in a shit poor country…

waht i fing more rediculous is how they say ODH grew up in the tough california neghborhoods… BS that kid was pampered >:mad

I think it was alright

Scripted? I don’t thiknk so, nothing Mayorga does is scripted, and he slapped Oscar for real. And they touted Vargas as some baddest dude, Vargas ducked Mayorga and decided to fight a 147 pound Shane Mosley and lost so thats how “bad” he is.

Hell yeah, you go girl! Have a CC. 8) Mayorga is a legit bad ass and former gang leader, thats no BS. Oscar has never been in a fight outside the ring in his life, or so he claims. How the hell is that possible? Every body gets in at least one fight in their lives if they got any balls. I mean otherwise you are just gonna have to take shat and back down at some point.

Thats because Oscar always talked his way out of it. It’s too bad he couldn’t talk when Mayorga slapped the back of his head. Notice in the first staredown of the program, Oscar tries to feint at Mayorga to get him to flinch.. and Mayorga doesn’t take a step backward.. he takes a step forward though, which shows he isn’t scared. Oscar may be. But I do NOT KNOW WHO TO PICK!!

I wouldn’t insult HBO, if i were you.

A quote from Mayorga v Delahoya press conference

" Tell your wife to screw you before the fight so you don’t take a dive like you did in the hopkins ight you faggott!! "

;D ;D ;D

Oscar’s comeback was better. Mayorga said “You’re such a pretty boy. You’re as pretty as my wife”. To which Oscar replied, “Your wife’s not that pretty”

this was the biggest joke for hyping up a fight. They pretty much were questioning oscar’s whole career. from running in Tito’s fight to supposedly taking a dive in Hopkin’s fight. from losing concentration in boxing by recording an album to promoting other fighters fights.

Usually this countdown documentaries pump you up for the fight and sparks the anticipation. I confess that I wasn’t going to buy Vargas-Mosley but watching the countdown pumped me up and I bought the fight which turned out to be a good one

But how can this one compel someone who is not a mainstream fan to buy the fight. The only reason I will be buying the fight is because it is one of Oscar’s last ones.

IT IS HIS LAST FIGHT.

What’s up Larry? Drank any good booze today? Who do you pick? I’m going with Mayorga by Ko.

Because you want to see if Oscar still has it.. if he can put it together one more time, and if Mayorga’s desire and will.. can defeat Oscar’s experience and skill :wink: hehe rhyme.

I thought they hyped it up pretty good. Personally I can’t wait for this one!

Hulk, I know you’re a HUGE Mayorga fan but your boy doesn’t stand a chance! If Tito couldn’t KO ODH, if it too 8 rounds for Hopkins to do it, it’s gonna take more than what Mayorga has.

Oscar likes fighting brawlers, he picks them apart!

I do still want to see Mayorga-Vargas just because it would be no a holds barred bad ass brawl…those guys would have a Gatti-Ward-esque brawl. Loads of heart!

Can someone fill me in on Mayorga’s past please..

He grew up as a gang leader in the slums of Nicaragua. Been in numerous street brawls and so on, got into boxing and beat a PRIME Vernon Forrest twice

Skeen,but what about all his antics,are they real like um smoking packs of cigs a day,eating junk alll the time etc.I personally don’t believe he really does that!

im pretty sure he likes a cig or 2 and likes to knock back the booze…after all most of us indulge in 1 or the other.

some wild, wild people even indulge in both!! :o ;D

I don’t believe you. You will be claiming some people take drugs next or have sex with prostitutes.

Completely outlandish claims, abusrd, it couldn’t happen
