WATCH: Boxing wildman Mayorga gives Mosley free shots
Ricardo Mayorga, the chain-smoking, obscenity spewing brawler from Nicaragua, can still put on a show at age 41

MANILA, Philippines – Both Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga are well past their best days, but some things never change. Mosley, 43, can still punch pretty hard, and Mayorga, 41, is still out of his mind.

Their bout at The Forum in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday, August 30 Manila time was largely overshadowed by the Leo Santa Cruz vs Abner Mares brawl on the other side of town.

Boxing fans jeered their rematch as two faded fighters seeking another payday, but there were a few moments of entertainment from two fighters who wouldn’t know a bad fight if they were forced to pay $100 for it on pay-per-view.

In round 3, Mayorga got the crowd worked up by dropping his hands and giving Mosley free shots at his legendary chin. Mayorga absorbed them and then offered an obscene gesture involving his genitals to the former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champion.

This wasn’t the first time the former welterweight and junior middleweight titleholder Mayorga had done something like this, having offered free shots to Vernon Forrest and Felix Trinidad in his hey day over a decade ago.

Mosley eventually finished Mayorga off at 2:59 of the sixth round with a left hook to the body, which is the exact time Mosley had knocked the Nicaraguan mad man out in 2008, only 6 rounds earlier.

Consider this fight your boxing guilty pleasure of the year. – Rappler.com
