Lightweight charger to the welterweight, Ernesto Mercado, says that he sees the IBF champion of Richardson Hitchins as “False master.“He doesn’t like this how Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) will direct Australian fighters, not the US fighters, like himself.

Hitchins won his IBF belt with Aussie Liam Paro in December last year. Now he defends him against another Australian, George Cambosos Jr., 14 June at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. Mercado (17-0, 16 KO) fights based on a card against Jonathan Montrel (19-3, 13 KO) in 10-Rund. The event will be shown live in Dazn. 23 -year -old Mercado is probably the best warrior on this card, but he is still working on rankings. Hitchins does not intend to Mercado any favors because it is too threatening.

Mercado explodes with a “false master”

“I don’t know him. Just the way he runs with his mouth is the perpetrator, said Ernesto Mercado Thaboxingvoice About Richardson Hitchins. “He works as if he were a guy of this type, but he is not such a master. He says like:” Oh, I called this guy. ” No, no, man. [Subriel] Matias, you withdrew. You allow [Liam] Paro go there [to Puerto Rico and] hit. “

27 -year -old Hitchins definitely repealed the fight Matias, which still makes him look bad today. He should have taken this match. There is no other way to look at it except Richardson, which attract chilly feet, and not wanting to mix it with the former IBF 140-Funt champion. Hitchins’s decision to defend the belt against Cambosos, and not one of the other pretenders in a slight welterweight, was the wrong movement, because he just came to 140 and fought only once in the weight class.

“Now it is [Hitchins] Fighting with two Australians. Why the fuck is fighting with two Australians. Come, “said Mercado for Hitchins fighting with Liam Paro in December last year, and now he defended himself against George Cambosos Jr. 14 June.” All he manages is these Australian guys. Please. Please. How do you not fight anyone from the States? And then Cambosos.

Hitchins’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, could have something to do with the fact that he decided to defend against Cambosos Jr. because he promotes him. He was the only owner of the Hearna belt at the age of 140, over whom she has control. So, that Richardson defended himself against Cambosos, he was his way to make both his matches fighters elated. It is not that Hitchins would be pleased if Hearn chose Ernesto Mercado or Elvis Rodriguez for his first defense of his IBF belt.

“Are we earnest? Everyone knows that Cambosos sucks,” said Mercado. “So I feel it He is simply a false master **. I have the impression that one day I have the opportunity to fight him and seeing that I am fighting for IBF [North America light welterweight] Belt, I want him to know that I am coming for his **. When I see him there, I will definitely inform him. “

Record 2-3 Cambosos in the last five fights tells you everything you need to know about his usefulness as a pretender for Hitchins. He should not have been chosen as an opponent of the title defense, because he sends a message that the failure is rewarded. Success is ignored. Fighters like Mercado are ignored, while Cambosos receives the title shot for a failed road to the top.

“He is simply a false master **, claiming that he is the owner of Novel York,” said Mercado about Hitchins. “Nobody even knows him in Novel York. He claims that he comes from the trenches. He doesn’t come from any trenches. He’s just a musty like a whore. It’s really all that it is. I never thought Cambosos is good. You can’t take his recognition of his recognition over Teofimo, but Cambosos is a guy that you fight with winning the title of the world, not to defend him.”

Why Hitchins chose Cambosos

Richardson’s fighting style has an element Shakur Stevenson. He is definitely not an adventurer or someone who will stand and got involved for a long time. That is why he was booed for fighting with Jose Zepeda and John Bauza. Interestingly, Hitchins believes that he will gain a lot of attention by beating Cambosos. He says that this fight will give him known to fans and open the door for him. This is not a kind of opponent whose Hitchins must be noticed.

“And seeing how Cambosos just moved to 140, how the fuck is mandatory? S *** does not make sense. This is the whole policy. And then, seeing it in this appearances, it is even the worst,” said Mercado when he said that Cambubosos is a voluntary defense for Richardson. Why does he want to fight him with all 140 guys? It doesn’t make sense. “

For these reasons, he chose Cambosos:

1. Is not a threat
2. Well -known
3. His promoter, Hearn, chose him
4. Presentation of goals

What Hitchins should have done was to fight Mercado, Matias, Rodriguez or give Liam a rematch. If he defeated one of these guys, the fans would notice and may cause that Turks Alalshikh will be interested in using him for one of his cards.

“If they fought in Australia, I would see the value of it, but they fight in Novel York. Nobody even knows him in Novel York,” Mercado said, saying that Hitchins is probably fighting Cambosos because it is “the fight against money.” “If they fought in Australia in this arena, but Hitchins simply tries to keep the belt, the vintage one. He knows that he took him. The way I see it,” said Mercado.

Cambosos has lost so many times in the last three years that he probably used his welcome fights in Australia before his people. The enormous crowd, which Cambosos entered its first fight with Devin Haney in 2022, will decrease to his three failures in the last three years. Return to Australia would now mean a fight in front of a diminutive crowd. It wouldn’t be worth it.
