indeed it will, trinidad has been off for almost 4 years. Mayorga has the tools to beat him but he doesn't utilize them too often, he's too macho at times and thats his downfall most times. He whooped Vernon Forrest back to back times but failed against Cory Spinks for the simple reason that while spinks is extremely talented Mayorga chose to show off too much that he has a granite chin and wanted to trade toe to toe and spinks boxed circles around him instead while Mayorga waited and threw one punch at a time.
Trinidad had one fight after the Hopkins massacre and it was a cream puff to rebuild his confidence, instead he decided to retire. Hopkins was his first defeat and we still don't know if he is over that, a loss can completely change a fighter who was viewed as invincible. Plus theres the issue of ring rust, it can become a vicious back and forth bomb fest in which its a coin toss since both men have amazing power. Or Trinidad who is a great boxer in his own right can box out a decision, Trinidad gets knocked down easily cause he squares up at times when he loads up, he's been down almost a dozen times in his career but rarely was hurt until the hopkins fight, oscar stunned him a few times but never had him in danger. Mayorga has a granite chin so thats why I picked trinidad by decision, Felix has the ability to KO him as Mayorga has the ability to KO felix but I don't see it cause it'll probably be a more cautious fight the first half with some moments of excitement in the second half.
There's also the mental toll of very serious rape charges against Mayorga back in Nicaragua, he also was almost sent back cause he missed a court date so who knows what mental toll thats taken on him. This happened after the fight was announced though so it wasnt a factor when the Trinidad camp made the match.
Its an interesting fight and an interesting choice for Felix.
