Light candidate for Welter Ernesto Mercado says IBF 140-LB Champion Richardson Hitchins as a “fake champion”. He doesn’t like Hitcrins (19-0, 7 Kos) goal of Australian struggles, not the fighters from the US, as well.
Hitchins beat his IBF belt with Aussie Liam Para last December. Now defends him against the other Australian, George Cambosos Jr. 14. June in the theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. Mercado (17-0, 16 Kos) is fighting the lower side against Jonathan Montrel (19-3, 13 HP) in 10 rounds. The event will be displayed Live on Dazn.
Mercado Blasts “Fake Champ”
“I don’t know him. Just the way he leads his mouth, he’s the perpetrator, Ernesto Mercado said Thaboxingvoice About Highdson Hitchins. “He acts like he’s the guy’s guy, but he’s not such a champ. ‘No, aren’t you, brother. When you were to start (Liam) to move there (to Puerto Rico I) hit.”
Hitchins, 27, definitely collected the Matias fight, which still makes it look bad to this day. He was supposed to take that match. There is no other way that it doesn’t look at it other than Richardson, and he doesn’t want to mix it with the former IBF 140-lb Sibriel champion. The decision on Hitchins to defend the belt against Cambosos, not one of the other candidacies on the brightest weight was the wrong move, because it just arrived at 140 and only fought in a weight class.
“It’s now (Hitchins) fighting two aussies. Why f *** fights two aussies. Come on,” Mercado said about Hitchins, and now it’s 14. June defended George Cambosos. “All that is a goal is these Australian guys. I’m looking for it. How don’t you fight any of the countries? And then Cambosos. Really?”
The promoter of Hitchins, Eddie Hearn, maybe he had something to do with him choosing to defend against Cambosos Jr. Because it promotes it. This is just a belt holder in 140 to have control over. So, that Richardson defends himself against Cambosos, he was his way for both of the fighters to make his fellows happy. It’s not that Hitchins would be a pleasure if Hearn chose Ernesto Mercado or Elvis Rodriguez for his first defense of his IBF band.
“Are we serious? Everyone knows that Cambosos sucks,” Mercado said. “So I feel it He is just a fake a ** champion. I feel like I don’t get a chance to fight him and see I fight for IBF (North America Light Villeterveight) belt, I want to know that I come to his **. When I see him there, I’ll definitely let him know. “
Cambosos’ 2-3 Record in the last five fighting tells you everything you need to know about his eligibility as a challenge for Hitchins. It was not supposed to be chosen as his opponent to defend the title, because he sends a message that failure was rewarded. Success is ignored. Fighters like Mercado are ignored, while Cambosos is given the title footage because of the omission to the top.
“He’s just a fake a ** champion, claiming that he owns New York,” Mercado said about Hitchins. “Nobody knows him in New York. He claims to be from the trenches. It’s simply all that is to take it to Cambosos away from him. You can’t take it to Cambosos away from him. You can’t take it that Cambosos is far from him. You can’t take the Cambosos away from him.
Why did Hitchins choose Cambosos
Richardson’s combat style has element Shakur Stevenson. He is definitely not a quarrel or someone who will stand and turn on for any time. That is why he was crossed for his fights against Jose Zepeda and John Bausa. It is interesting that Hitchins believes she will get a lot of attention beating Cambosos. He says this fight will make him fans and open the door for him. This is not the kind of opponent that Hitchins must notice.
“And seeing How Cambosos Just Moved Up To 140, How In The F *** Is He’s Don’t Make Sense. It’s All Politics. And Then Seeing It In That Regards, It’s Even Worst,” Said Mercado When Told That Cambosos Is A Voluntary Defense for Richardson. Why do you want to fight all 140 guys? It doesn’t make sense. “
He chose Cambosos for these reasons:
- Not a threat
- Well-known
- His promoter wanted him
- Showcase Courses
Which Hitchins were supposed to be done is fighting Mercedo, Matias, Rodriguez, or give Liama Para a revanchue. If he beat one of these guys, fans would receive fans and it could state that Turki alaleshik will show interest in use for one of his cards.
“If they fought in Australia, I would see the value in that, but they are fighting New York. Nobody knows him in New York,” Mercado said that Hitchins would probably fight Cambosos, because it’s a “fight with money”. “If they fought in Australia in that arena, but Hitchins is just trying to keep the belt, man. He knows he’ll take him away from him. The way I see it.”
Cambosos lost so many times in the last three years that he probably worn his welcome fights in Australia before his people. A great crowd that Cambosos pulled for his first fight against Devin Haney 2022. years, will have a decrease in a guy in his three defeats in the last three years. Returning to Australia would now mean fighting in front of a small crowd. It wouldn’t be worth it.
