About Segundo Mercado
- Laurensio Segundo Mercado (born 5 January 1967) is a retired male boxer from Ecuador. Mercado represented Ecuador at the 1988 Summer Olympics, losing on points in the boxing competition to Martin Kitel of Sweden.
- He turned professional after the games and, fighting as a middleweight, built up a record of 18-2. On 17 December 1994, Mercado was matched against future undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins for the vacant IBF middleweight title in Quito, Ecuador.
- Attempting to become his country's first ever world boxing champion, Mercado knocked Hopkins down twice, but the fight was scored a controversial draw.
- They met again four months later, and this time Hopkins won via a seventh round TKO. Mercado moved up to the super-middleweight division after losing to Hopkins, and challenged WBA super-middleweight champion Frankie Liles; Mercado was stopped in five rounds.
- Mercado continued boxing, but failed to win another fight and retired in 2003 with a final record of 19-10-2.
