The lightweight competitor, Ernesto Mercado, says he sees the IBF 140 champion Richardson Hitchens as.Fake hero.He does not like how Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOS) target Australian fighters instead of fighters from the United States, like himself.
Hitchins won an IBF belt off Aussie Liam Paro last December. Now, he defends this against another Australian, George Cambusos Junior, on June 14 at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. MERCADO (17-0, 16 KOS) fights on the lower card against Jonathan Montreal (19-3, 13 Cos) in 10 sensors. The event will be shown Live on Dazen. It can be said that MERCADO, 23, is the best fighter on that card, but he is still working in its classification. Hitchins will not make any preferences because it is very dangerous.
Mercado explosions “fake hero”
Ernesto Mercado said: “I don’t know him. Only the way he runs his mouth, he is a perpetrator Taboxingvoice About Richardson Hitchens. “He behaves such a kind of men, but he is not this type of hero.
Hitchens, 27, assembled the battle of Matthias, which still makes him seem bad to this day. He should have taken that match. There is no other way to look at it other than getting cold feet, Richardson, and the unwillingness to mix it with the former IBF 140 -pound champion. Hitchens’s decision to defend his belt against Campusus instead of one of the other competitors in lightweight was the wrong step, because it has just reached 140 and only once fought in the weight category.
“Now, he (Hitchens) is fighting two Australians. Why F *** is the fighting two Australians. Come on,” Mercado said of Hitchens fighting Liam Baru last December and now defending against George Cambusos Junior on June 14. “All that is targeting is these Australian men. I ask that. How do you not fight any of the states? Then Campusus. Really?”
Hitchins, Eddie Herne, may have something to do with defense against Kambosos JR. Because he promotes it. This was the only belt bearer in Herne in 140 it controlled. So, Richardson defended Campusus was his way of making each of his fighters happy. It is not as if Hitchens were happy if Herne Ernesto Mercado or Elvis Rodriguez chose his first defense of IBF belt.
“Are we serious? Everyone knows that Campusus is absorbing,” said Mercado. “So, I feel it He is just a fake hero **. I feel that once I had the opportunity to fight it, and seeing that I am fighting for the IBF belt (North Lightweight), I want him to know that I am coming for **. When I see him there, I will definitely tell him. “
Kambosos 2-3 records in his last five battles with everything you need to know about his suitability as a competitor to Hichins. He should not be chosen as his opponent to defend the title, because he sends a message that failure is rewarded. Success is ignored. Fighters like Mercado are ignored, while Kambosos is given a title to fail to the top.
“He is just a fake champion **, claiming that he owns New York,” Mercado said of Hitchens. “Nobody knows him even in New York. He claims to be a trenched. It is not a trenched. It is just a mold like F ***. That’s really everything. I never thought that Campusus was good. You cannot surpass him for this victory over Teofimo, but Kambosos is the man who fights for a global title, not to defend him.”
Why choose Hitchins Kambosos
The fighting style in Richardson has Shakur Stefenson. It is definitely not feelings or someone who will stand and participate in any time period. For this reason, he was beaten on his battles against Jose Zebida and John Bouza. Interestingly, Hitchens believes that he will receive a lot of attention by hitting Campusus. He says this battle will make him known to the masses, and open the doors to him. This is not the type of discount that Hitchins need to note.
“The vision of how Campusus rose to 140, how in *** is it mandatory? Why does he want to fight him from all 140 players?
Campusus chose for these reasons:
- Not a threat
- known
- Marouz, Herne, chose it
- Offer purposes
What Hitchens had to do was fight Mercado, Matthias, Rodriguez, or give Liam Barrow a match match. If one of these men is overcoming, the fans may notice and this may cause Turki alalshikh to show interest to one of his cards.
“If they are fighting in Australia, I will see the value in that, but they are fighting in New York. No one knows him even in New York,” Mercado said when I told Hitchens as a “financial battle.” “If they were fighting in Australia in that square they got, but Hitchens is only trying to keep his belt, man. He knows that he will get it away. The way I see it,” said Mercado.
Kambosos has been several times in the past three years that it is likely to spoil the fighting in Australia in front of its people. The great crowd that Campusus exploited in his first battle against Divin Hani in 2022, will shrink the elegant to his three defeats in the past three years. Returning to Australia now meant the fight against a small crowd. It was not worth it.
