MANAGUA, Nicaragua (Sports Network) - Former world champion Ricardo Mayorga has been arrested for suspicion of rape and may not fight Felix Trinidad in New York on October 2.

 

 

 

Mayorga, a native a Nicaragua, was arrested in Managua's international airport after a 20-year-old woman filed a complaint saying she was beaten and sexually abused in a hotel room.

 

 

According to Mayorga, he had a normal relationship with the woman, who apparently left the hotel in good spirits. Mayorga also said he paid the woman about $60.

 

 

Mayorga also added that his bout with Trinidad could be suspended. Trinidad is a 31-year-old former welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight champ.

 

 

Mayorga, also a former welterweight champion, is 27-1-4 with 23 knockouts in his career. He lost a close decision to Cory Spinks in a welterweight title unification fight last December.

i like this guy's attitude...smoking a cigarette in the ring after a fight, drinking beer during training, showing up to the weigh in eating pizza. this guys a badass and it was only a matter of time before something like this happened, unfortunatly.

I sure hope this isn't true because I was going to love seeing Mayorga bounce Tito Trinidad around the ring.

 

Man, this really sucks.

he's already out and the fight will happen.

 

no way mayorga bounces tito around the ring though. tito is in another class.

Tito is a fighter with much more class and ring knowledge than Mayorga. Mayorga is a scrapper, he can take a punch and give one, whereas Tito relies more on skill. its gonna be a great fight, but id say Tito takes it by decision.

there's no way that fight goes the distance. tito inside of 6. can't see it any other way. not with the shape mayorga is in.

TITO IS GOING TO KNOCK THAT RAPIST OUT YO!!!!! :thumbup
