Recap: After his win against Ian Steele, Mendoza was finally able to challenge the new WBC Champion, Sozil Willy. However it didn't end so well for him.

Although prepared, Mendoza started to show signs of decline, and he was taking hits he shouldn't and getting very hurt, especially from all the times he's been knocked down in his career.

The fight against Willy was going good for him. But until Round 8, Willy knocks him out. His tight guard, and excellent endurance proved to be to much for Mendoza. It clearly showed that mendoza wasn't in prime form he would have beat him if it weren't for his decline.

He's fighting a guy name Kevin "Piston" Laing, very good boxer with quick reflexes and remarkable jab. Win or Lose, this'll be Mendoza's last fight before he retires.
