Ricardo Mayorga has claimed he will beat "washed-up" 'Sugar' Shane Mosley within three rounds when they meet next month.

The pair will clash at light-middleweight in the Home Depot Center in California on September 27 - with the controversial Mayorga already talking a great fight.

He said: "This is going to be a short fight, like in the amateurs, only three rounds. This will be Shane's permanent return home because the old lady needs a home."

The Nicaraguan brought pink gloves to the press conference to announce the bout, and says Shane will be his woman on the big night.

"I brought these pink gloves for Shane to wear during the fight...I'm sending him permanently home. I will fight a three-round fight... that is all he will last," he added.

"I will knock out Shane just like Vernon (Forrest) knocked him out.

Guts

"I'll be the man that night and he'll be my woman... I'm from the country where we only breed men.

"Maybe Oscar (De La Hoya) will have the guts to fight me in a rematch after I beat Shane up good."

Mosley hasn't fought since losing a unanimous decision to Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden last November.

And Mayorga, nicknamed 'The Matador', says he'll prove once and for all that the former P4P big gun is no longer a force.

He said: "There won't be a lot of blood, because I'm going to beat him good and fast and tell him to go home permanently.

"Shane is washed up and he's got nothing left.

"I'll put my chin out there for Shane and let him hit me with his best left hook and see what happens."
