Ricardo Mayorga could replace Collazo as Dzinziruk's Oct 2nd opponent

Ricardo Mayorga is back on the scene again and this time he is trying to secure a fight against Ukrainian Sergiy Dzinziruk, current junior middleweight champion of the WBO, for a date of October 2. The rumored opponent for Dzinziruk was Luis Collazo, who recently said he was not interested in accepting the fight at this time and needed a tuneup or two.

Trainer Rosendo Alvarez, who took over Mayorga's business dealings, confirmed this information, and said they failed a few weeks ago to get a fight against WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm, even though the former champion from Nicaragua signed a bout agreement during a meeting with his promoter Don King .

“Because the fight with the German Sturm was not completed, Don King called us to have Ricardo sign for a fight with Dzinziruk," said Alvarez, speaking from Miami.

“The fight is scheduled for October 2 in the United States, as part of a Don King promotion in a partnership with other promoters who handle the champion. Ricardo will sign because he wants another title opportunity."

Dzinziruk is a solid champion with a record of 37-0 with 23 knockouts. He won the title in December 2005, beating Puerto Rican boxer Daniel Santos, and has since made six successful defenses.

Mayorga's last fight was Shane Mosley in 2008, he tried to do an MMA fight this year but King got it shut it down.

and he didint look bad

Mayorga was suppose to fight Angulo on that HBO triple header with Martinez-Cintron and Campbell-Funeka. He pulled out demanding more money. I can see him doing the same thing here.

IDK he has had alotta paychecks missed recently i bet he needs the moola and King will make him fight

I forgot about that, but like Bird said I think Mayorga is desperate enough to accept this.

that woulda been a bad ass triple header it was still a good card and Mr Campbells last mometn in the sun

Mayorga accepts an offer in a heartbeat. Its decent money. He's still willing to fight for a paycheck, and just maybe he'll land an ugly wild shot.

We gotta recycle Mayorga??????? THAT'S where we are???????????

Geeze.

Wassup with Angulo? He'd be a good opponent for Sergei. He definitely wouldnt get 750k for this though.

Angulo already declined to face Sergei when he was the bogus WBO interim champion.

Angulo vs Sergei would be easy to make, both with Shaw, but I doubt he takes on such a tough opponent for A LOT less

Im with Marble, wtf are promoters and HBO doing recycling El Matador?

Angulo or his team doesn't want the top guys. If Angulo-Dzindziruk was easy to make they would've made it. El Matador is still a name and he's willing to fight. I like Dzinziruk and just hope he can get some big fights before he slows down because he's intriguing.

It was Angulo personally who turned down the 750k for the Martinez fight, Shaw was livid.

I know, but he hasnt fought since 08 and we all know he's there to lose

There's plenty of contenders available at Jr MW - Cintron, K9, Powell, Ishe Smith, Ouma, Erislandy Lara
