Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga, a former two-division world champion, is recovering after being severely beaten by an unknown group of assailants in his birthplace of Managua, Nicaragua. Mayorga was attacked and battered severely, resulting in multiple fractures. Despite medical help arriving within minutes of the assault being reported, there were no survivors.
Mayorga was born on August 4, 1973 in Managua, Nicaragua. He began boxing at the age of 13 under the guidance of his father, who was also his trainer. In 1992, Mayorga became the WBC super featherweight champion after defeating Jorge Linares in a bout for that division's title. He lost the belt four months later to Orlando Salido but regained it three years later. In 1997, Mayorga defeated Linares again to become the WBC lightweight champion. He lost the belt four months later to Diego Corrales and had it taken from him when he tested positive for marijuana use. Mayorga eventually received a one-year suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission.
After his suspension ended, Mayorga fought several more times, including one fight where he suffered two knockdowns before losing by TKO. At the age of 29, Mayorga had probably reached his peak as a fighter and was about to begin a new phase of his life with hopes of becoming a successful businessman.

Russell and produced by Harvey Weinstein and Andrew Duncan. The film won several awards including Best Picture at the 68th Academy Awards.

In the early days of boxing, there were no rules against hitting someone over the head with your fists, so boxers wore gloves to protect their hands. The term "boxing" came from this fact; since people would hit each other with their fists, they needed something to punch, so boxes were used as target practice for young men who could not afford guns. These matches were called "boxing matches" because they gave fighters the opportunity to display their skill by hitting one another as hard as they could with only their hands. As boxing evolved into a sport, rules were put in place to prevent serious injury to both fighters and the crowd enjoyed seeing how well their heroes fought.
There are many great boxers over the years, but only three have been considered true legends: George Foreman, Joe Louis, and Muhammad Ali. Each man has won multiple championships, so it's difficult to say which one is best, but it's safe to say that they are all worthy candidates.
