Doghouse Boxing (April 27, 2006)
 
Don King
This past Tuesday in an International Conference Call Promoter Don King was asked if he was proud of Ricardo Mayorga – and if he believed that Ricardo put in the necessary work for his upcoming fight with Oscar De La Hoya?

Don King's response: Yes, I'm very proud of him. I'm proud of him when he was getting – when he – when he wasn’t doing what he was, he's a good – he's mi hijo – like a son to me. He's a very good guy and – but – and he always gives respect and props. You know, so, he's a guy that I'm very proud of, but I got to see him win. I'll be more proud of him when he knocks out Oscar, you know, on May 6, because then the world will be proud, they will see a giant, you know, coming out to the floor to reclaim, you know, what he really been himself a fighter for the people. You know, he's a people's fighter, he's a people's champion and so he's going to be able to demonstrate that on May 6th when he comes into that ring at the MGM Grand and takes on Oscar de la Hoya. You know, and it's a real fight, you know, that's a real good piece by HBO. It shows both camps and the antipathy that is there – and I love Oscar, I think Oscar's a great, great guy, you know what I mean, but in this sport, things happen, knockouts come and knockouts go. I think this is the time that he will knock out this guy and don't be surprised when he knocks out Oscar, he'll have an opportunity to revenge himself with Tito Trinidad because Tito Trinidad is waiting in the wings to come back no sooner than – that he knocks out Oscar.
ALAN HOPPER: Big news.

So, you going to have – we got – this is – this has so much meaning to it. Bringing the glamour boy of boxing back. The boxing really misses Tito, because Tito fought much more often then Oscar did, you know, he didn't never gained the fame and acclaim and the affluence that Oscar had because of different things and whatever it was that was doing it, but Tito is one of the greatest fighters in the world and he certainly will give Mayorga an opportunity for revenge because he's so honorable. And so, this is something we're looking forward to with great anticipation so it has two-fold meanings here today. Mayorga knocks out Oscar, hello Trinidad.
