Mayorga "This fight means more to me than it does to Trinidad. A lot is riding on this fight, my whole future," said Mayorga, the former world welterweight champion from Nicaragua. "I think the fight will go no longer than four or five rounds.
"I am convinced I will take him down. If he plans to stand in front of me and fight like a man, that will be tailor-made for me because I am stronger than he is."
