Ricardo Mayorga Boxing Glove Autograph
Ricardo Mayorga was not considered to be
the real champion in the welterweight division by most boxing
experts: Vernon Forrest, who had taken the WBC's world Welterweight
championship from Shane Mosley and defeated Mosley again
in a rematch, was considered by many to be one of the best
fighters, regardless of fighting division, around the world.
Mayorga and Forrest quickly signed up for an unification
bout, and on January 25, and in front of an HBO Boxing audience,
Mayorga upset most boxing critics and experts by dropping
Forrest in round one, and once again in round three, winning
the fight by a knockout in the third, and becoming the WBA
and WBC's undisputed world champion.
On July 12, also in front of an HBO boxing audience, Mayorga
and Forrest had a rematch, and this time Mayorga retained
the title by a 12 round majority decision.
