Ernesto Mercado Vol Richardson Hitchins after June 14

Ernesto Mercado says that he wants to challenge Richardson Hitchins for his IBF lightweight heavy weight title, then if they both win their fights on June 14 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.

June 14: Statement in New York

The Mercado undefeated phenom (17-0, 16 kos) faces Jonathan Montrel (19-3, 13 kos) in a ten round struggle at the laying of the Dazn event. Ernesto says he wants to “make a statement” on the June 14 card to make Hitchins want to fight him.

However, this could work against Mercado if it seems impressive because Richardson has not shown an interest in fighting dangerous contestants like Subriel Matias. A statement of declaration by Ernesto could put him in the Intocable class That Hitchins would like to avoid, as it seems to with Matias.

Mercado, 23, emphasizes that he and Hitchins are promoted by Matchroom and will be free after their fights on the card of June 14.

Hitchins could have other ideas. He has been talking this week about wanting to fight Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez or Ryan Garcia. It may not be on board the idea of ​​tackling the dangerous Mercado punch. Although Hitchins has none of these three, he will see the idea of ​​fighting Ernesto and will give him his first career defeat.

Mercado has seemed excellent, and eliminated his last six opponents, including Jose Pedraza. His power and style attacking him lethal him for anyone in the 140 lb division, especially Hitchins.

The “easiest struggle” of Mercado

“I want Hitchins. This is the easiest struggle to do. He is with Dazn. He is with Matchroom and I’m with Matchroom,” said Ernesto Mercado a Jeff Zimmerman When asked who wants to fight after his confrontation against Montrel on June 14. “After this struggle, we will both be free.”

The struggle would be the “easiest” if Hitchins and promoter Eddie Hearn agreed to do it. Hearn will not want Mercado to destroy Hitchins because he tries to turn it into a world superstar just as he tried to do it with Shakur Stevenson.

They are similar fighters in a defensive, osset and non -pushing style, which is exciting to see for most fans of this time. The eldest who enjoyed the floyd Mayweather JR fights as Hitchins and Shakur’s struggle style. Mercado fits in with this time of being entertaining and exciting to see. It would be good for Matchroom if I could put your hands in the 140 LB IBF title to replace Hitchins.

“I know the WBC, I will classify.

In interviews this week, Hitchins said that if they cannot get Teo, Ryan or Haney, he would be open to moving heavy weight to fight Manny Pacquiao or Mario Barrios, 46. That is, Hitchins is looking for money fights exclusively. He is not interested in fighting his mandatory subrriel of the IBF or the WBA champion, Gary Antuanne Russell.

“I will make a statement I come to Hitchins and I really will make my brand in New York. He claims that it has the New York Fane Base. I’m really going to make a mark there, “said Mercado when asked what boxing fans can expect on June 14 in his fight against Montrel.” I will get where you want to fight against me. “”

The role of Turki Alralikh

What can happen is whether Turki Alshikh will take note of Ernesto from his fight against Montrel to offer Hitchins the type of money to attract him to take this fight. Apart from this, the Hitchins should be dragged by shouting and shouting at a fight against Mercado. He knows what would be the end result if he would go against Mercado. There is no amount of running and Richardson’s POHTS would keep Ernesto for a long time.

“I think Turki is achieving the wrong guidance to get the wrong fighters fight,” said Mercado, reacting to the three main struggles in the 2nd May Card of Times Square, being disappointing, without actions. “I know Turki likes to entertain fights.”

Choose Devin Haney, Teophimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia Was the pure poison For the card of May 2 in Times Square. None of them showed no interest in fighting hard and seemed to have dedicated it to half, minimizing for some reason. Is the behavior that people see In rich fighters they no longer have the hunger they had before hitting It is rich.

“I just think that who guides him to choose the fighters, I think he is wrong. I think guys like me. Guys who come to fight. I think for that weekend he had a wrong selection of fighters that night,” said Mercado
