After an almost 3 year "retirement" Felix Trinidad is back in the ring this saturday.
He'll be up against former welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga who is tough as nails. It's a huge fight for trinidad who everyone figured would take on a "contender" for his first fight back but he's not takin the easy road back. Plus if he wins he gets a possible rematch with Hopkins next year.
Next year will probably be Hopkins final year in boxing, he's gonna turn 40 early next year and he swore to his mother before she died wouldn't fight past 40. He's also at 19 straight title defenses of his middleweight championship so you figure he just wants one more big payday and get to an even 20 defenses, he already owns the record for middleweight.
So for anyone who cares tune in, though its on PPV.
