Ernesto Mercado Richardson Hitchens wants after the June 14 event

Ernesto Mercado says he wants to challenge Richardson Hitchens for his light weight title in IBF if both win on June 14 at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.

June 14: A statement in New York City

The phenomenon that was not defeated by MERCADO (17-0, 16 KOS) face Jonathan Montreal (19-3, 13 Cos) in the battle of 10 rounds on the DAZN card. Ernesto says he wants to “make a statement” on the June 14 card to make Hitchens want to fight him.

However, this may succeed against marcado if it seems impressive because Richardson did not show interest in combating dangerous competitors like Subriel Matias. Performing Ernesto’s statement can put it in A category that cannot be prejudiced They want to avoid this, as it seems to do with Matthias.

MERCADO, 23, notes that it is promoted from Hisins by Matchroom, and they will be free after their battles on the June 14 card.

Hitchins may have other ideas. He was talking this week about the desire to fight Divin Hani, Tudaimo Lopez or Ryan Garcia after that. It may not be on board with the idea of ​​facing the dangerous Mercado. Even if Hitchins do not get any of these three, the veto will be against the idea of ​​fighting Ernesto and making him hand him his first professional defeat.

Mercado looked great, as he left his last six opponents, including Jose Pedra. His attacking strength and style makes him fatal to anyone in the 140 -pound section, especially Hitchens.

“The easiest fighting” call to Mercado

“I want Hitchens. This is the easiest battle,” said Ernesto Mercado. Jeff Zimmerman When he was asked who wanted to fight after his clash against Montrell on June 14. “After this battle, we will be free.”

The battle will be the “easiest” if Hitchens and promoter Eddie Herne agreed to make it. Herne will not want to destroy Mercado Hitchens because he is trying to turn him into a world star just as he tries to do Cakor Stephenson.

They are fighters similar to a defensive, unprepared style, which is exciting to see most of the lovers of this era. The elderly who enjoyed the battles of Floyd Mayweather Junior, such as Hitchens and Shakur’s style of fighting. Mercado fits with this era of being fun and exciting to watch. It would be good for the matching room if he can put his hands on the IBF 140 pounds to replace Hitchins.

“I know WBC, I will classify it,” said Mercado when he was expecting George Campusus.

In interviews this week, Hitchens said that if he could not get a teo, Ryan or Haney after that, he will be open to move to weight and inherit to combat Mane Bacoyao, 46, or Mario Barius. In other words, Hitchins exclusively search for money battles. It is not interested in fighting the mandatory IBF Subriel Matias or the WBA Gary Antunne Russell.

“I will make a statement I am coming to Hitchins, and I will really make my mark in New York. He claims to have the base of fans in New York. “I will ask me what boxing fans can expect on June 14 in his fight against Montreal:” I will ask me what boxing fans can expect on June 14 in his battle against Montrell, “Mercado said when asked about what boxing fans can expect on June 14 in his battle against Montreal.

The role of the Turkish Sheikh

What he might go down is whether Turki Al -Sheikh will notice Ernesto of his battle against Montrell to present Hitchens the type of money to lure it in this battle. Regardless, Hitchens is likely to kick and scream in a battle against Mercado. He knows what the end result is if he goes against Mercado. There is no amount of running and shots from Richardson will stop Ernesto for a long time.

“I think Turki gets the wrong guidance to make the fighters wrong in the fighting,” said Mercado, in response to the three main battles on the second card in May in Times Square, which is disappointing, lacking procedures. “I know that Turkish loves recreational battles.”

Choose Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia It was pure toxic For May 2 Card in Times Square. None of them showed any interest in fighting hard, and it seemed that they were half of them, and they did the minimum for some reason. It is the behavior that people see In the wealthy fighters Who no longer has the hunger they had before hitting It is rich.

“I just think who is directing him to choose the fighters, I think it is wrong. I think men are like me. The men who come to fight. I think this weekend, he had a wrong choice from the fighters that night,” said Mercado
