Mercado\u2019s 10-round fight is buried three-deep on the Diego Pacheco vs. Kevin Lele Sadjo card. Despite being the same age as Pacheco, Ernesto isn\u2019t headlining like he is. He hasn\u2019t been fast-tracked. That\u2019s the missing ingredient. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that he look good against Moran so that he can get more visibility.<\/p>\n

Mercado defeated Jose Pedraza by a fourth-round knockout last January. He says he wants to fight the winner of the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson fight. That\u2019s unlikely, given that Turki Alalshikh said he has a big fight planned for the winner. It wouldn\u2019t be Mercado that he would be talking about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to fight both Teofimo and Shakur, so I\u2019m almost a little disappointed that one of them is going to take an \u2018L\u2019 as it might diminish when I beat them, but it should be a great fight, and they are trying to put on the best fights, which is really good,\u201d said Ernesto Mercado.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Shakur winning it, which is out of my favor, as he\u2019s not going to want to fight me.\u201d<\/p>\n
