Ernesto Mercado says that he wants to challenge Richardson Hitchins for his IBF welterweight title, if they both win their fights on June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Fresh York.

June 14: Statement in Fresh York

Incorrect Mercado (17-0, 16 KO) will face Jonathan Montrel (19-3, 13 KO) in a 10-round fight on Undercard of the Dazn Event. Ernesto says that he wants to “say a statement” on the card on June 14, so that Hitchins would like to fight with him.

However, this can work against Mercado if it looks impressive, because Richardson has not shown interest in the fight against risky pretenders, such as Subriel Matias. Ernesto performance can put it in Untouchable class That Hitchins would like to avoid, as if he apparently did with Matias.

23 -year -old Mercado notes that he and Hitchins are promoted by Matchroom and will be free after the fighting on the card on June 14.

Hitchins may have other ideas. This week he said that he wanted to fight Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez or Ryan Garcia. Perhaps he is not on board the idea of ​​facing the risky Puncher Mercado. Even if Hitchins does not get any of these three, he will veto the idea of ​​fighting Ernesto and tells him to give him his first career defeat.

Mercado looked special, knocking out his last six opponents, including Jose Pedraz. His power and attacker make it fatal to everyone divided 140 pounds, especially Hitchins.

Call Mercado “The easiest fight”

“I want Hitchins. It’s the easiest fight. It’s with Daznie. It’s with a mechroom and I’m with a match,” said Ernesto Mercado Jeff Zimmerman Asked who he wants to fight after the clash with Montrel on June 14. “After this fight we will both be free.”

The fight would be “the easiest” if Hitchins and Promoter Eddie Hearn agreed with her. Hearn does not want Mercado to destroy Hitchins, because he tries to turn him into a global star, as he tried to make Shakur Stevenson.

They are similar fighters with a defensive, potshot, a non-engaging style that is stimulating to watch for most fans of this era. The elders who liked Floyd Mayweather JR fights, such as Hitchins and the style of Shakura. Mercado matches this era of being comical and stimulating to watch. It would be good for Matchroom if he could win the title of IBF 140-LB to replace Hitchins.

“I know WBC, I will be in this place. Puello is fighting Matias. I think that after this fight we will both be free and we will not have anything. I think it is an ideal, effortless fight to do. I expect, but I would not be surprised,” said Mercado, asked if Hitchins defeats George Cambosos Jr.

In interviews this week, Hitchins said that if he was unable to get Teo, Ryan or Haney, he would be open to a transition to a welterweight to fight 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao or Mario Barrios. In other words, Hitchins is looking only for a fight with money. He is not interested in fighting his mandatory subriel Matias or WBA champion Gary Antuanne Russell.

“I’m going to make a statement That I am coming for Hitchins and I will really impress my trail in Fresh York. He claims that he has a Fresh York fans base. I really intend to squeeze out a trail there, “Mercado said, when asked what boxing fans could expect from him on June 14 in the fight against Montrel.” I go where he wants to fight me. “

The role of Turki Alalshikh

This can come down if Turks Alalshikh will pay attention to Ernesto from fighting Montrel to offer Hitchins money to lure him to fight. In addition, Hitchins would probably have to be dragged, kicking and shouting in the fight against Mercado. He knows what the final result would be if he went against Mercado. No amount of gears and potshots from Richardson would not stop Ernesto for a long time.

“I think that Turki receives incorrect tips to force the wrong fighters to fight,” said Mercado, reacting to the three main fights on the Times Square card on May 2, which are disappointing, not without action. “I know that Turki likes comical fights.”

Choosing Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia She was a pure poison On the card on May 2 at Times Square. None of them showed any interest in a tough struggle and it looked like for some reason they circled in half, making a minimum for some reason. This is the behavior that people see in wealthy fighters who no longer has hunger they used to have before hitting It’s wealthy.

“I just think that anyone leads him to collect fighters, I think they are wrong. I think guys like me. Guys who come to fight. I think that this weekend had the wrong choice of warriors that night,” said Mercado
