Here is a transript of what created the Vargas/Maroyga melee.



Don King from Don King Productions and Kathy Duva from Main Events formally announced the showdown between two-time world champion Ferocious” Fernando Vargas and three-time world champion Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga in the Chick Hearn Press Room at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles today. The room was packed with media, and all went well until the trash-talking Mayorga approached the podium and Vargas immediately removed his sunglasses. Vargas initially maintained his composure while Mayorga repeatedly referred to him as “fatty” as well as other terms not normally deemed acceptable in public company. Vargas grabbed his crotch and gestured to Mayorga and said, Here’s your fatty.”

The breaking point came when Mayorga said he was going to do Vargas’s family a favor by retiring him and not allow his family to suffer every time he steps in the ring.

Vargas and members of his camp stood up and went after Mayorga, and a melee ensued. Order was restored when Mayorga left the press conference and Vargas was allowed to address the media.

RICARDO MAYORGA: “I’m very dedicated and focused. Believe it or not, I want everyone to know in this moment even if nobody believes me I have already been training for two months. I have the same hunger and strength I had when I won my first world title. Take a look at my two first world title fights—that’s the Mayorga you’re going to see on Sept. 8. I'’m going to finish you [Vargas] but you’re finished already.

“I’m going to give Vargas the chance to cash his last pension check. I would like to say publicly that ‘fatty’ over here [Vargas] has always feared me. When I was crowned junior middleweight world champion most recently against Michele Piccirillo, Vargas tried to have the World Boxing Council strip me of the title so it could be handed to him. I conceded to take this fight at 162 pounds because fatty couldn’t lose any more weight. After this fight I’m going back to 147. I want Mayweather, Mosley, all of them.

I will do Vargas a favor by retiring him in this fight so his family doesn’t have to suffer every time he steps in the ring. I’m going to do your wife a favor and not let her cry anymore after I disfigure you. [while translator is repeating Mayorga’s comments in English press conference fight begins after Mayorga slaps Vargas, and Vargas lands two blows before order can be restored.]”

FERNANDO VARGAS: “This will be my last fight for one reason only. It’s for pride. I can’t leave my career after a loss. I called [longtime trainer and mentor] Eduardo Garcia and asked him if we would train me for one last fight. He said with a chuckle, ‘You still want to fight?’ I said told him just one more, Garcia. It’s for pride. Mayorga can disrespect me all he wants but not my queens [his mother, wife and daughter]. He says he’s been training for this fight for two months. I'’ve been training since January. I’m already down to 183.

We should have sold tickets to this press conference. We had a little fireworks here today. There will definitely be fireworks in the ring at
Staples Center on September 8.”

 

Wednesday night fight just show a long clip...after a few right hands, they kind of CLINCH and Vargas landed some good lefts to the body...

 

Is this brawl playing on SportsCentre?

 

Nando always was a good body puncher.

 

makes me miss big daddy bowe, he would punch a mutha fucka in every press conference

 

If he fought Tyson I bet he wouldnt have done that shit in the PC, or else he'd have gotten the Mitch Green treatment.

 

Perhaps, but those overhand slap attempts scream "scripted". ::

 

well they are good friends, so he wouldnt have done it, but i dont think big daddy bowe is afraid of tyson

 

Yeah I know there friends, I'm just sayin.::

And yeah I agree Bowe was scared of him, but more than that he looked up to Mike.

They woulda made for a great fight in the early 90's, but I always believe that Mike woulda put him out in the mid rounds.

 

I didn't see nando landing anything...they were both to far apart...

 

Well he obviously landed something, he cut Mayorga.

 

Haven't you watched the WWF...he was blading.::

 

WNF show a longer clip of the brawl...and Vargas did missed with the right hands..but landed some good lefts to the body when they were close.

 

::

 

might have grazed him with that big ass ring

 

Ferocious had 2 FUNNY Comments,1 INTENTIONALLY Funny,the Other Not...

Here's the Intentional 1...

Vargas grabbed his crotch and gestured to Mayorga and said, Here’s your fatty.â€￾

::

Here's the UNintentional 1...

I'’ve been training since January. I’m already down to 183.

So he's Been Training for 7 Months & he's "Down" to 183??:dunno:

You mean another viscious beating for Ricardo.::

 

That IS funny! ::

 

Vargas is around 5'11' and isn't frail, 183 isn't bad IMO.

 

Here's the thing, Vargas is easily miles more shot than Mayorga, however Mayorga is easily miles a lesser fighter than Vargas ever was. So the question becomes is Mayorga so terrible that even a super shot Vargas will beat him? The answer is yes, yes Mayorga is that terrible. He loses a split decision that is less entertaining and alot uglier than people would have thought.

 

He said that he weighed 264 lbs at one time in his interview on Boxingtalk:eeeek:

 

Oh snap!:eeeek:

 

He should have fought Toney @ Heavyweight for a belt made out of baby back ribs.

 

Mayorga has worse losses, but his best wins are arguably and probably better than Vargas's. Certainly nothing to justify your "Mayorga is easily miles a lesser fighter than Vargas ever was" crap.

 

So he beat Forrest. Forrest was intimidated by him. Vargas beat Quartey(clearly beat him unlike DLH and Forrest), fought a prime Winky on very close terms, and destroyed Campas. I'd say he has better wins than Mayorga, and in his prime would have beaten up Mayorga like he did Campas.

 

:laughing:

First thing: LOL at how Fat Fernando is.

Second thing: these guys are animals. You can dress them up, but you sure can't bring them anywhere. Fat Fernando is a disgrace.

Third. There is only one Fernando that anyone should be paying attention to. This Kid.

 

He beat quartey who could not have been at his best...154, not 147...and inactive..but I agree, he beat him.

Winky beat his ass. At least you say on 'very close terms' and sure, that's arguable, but beside the point.

And Campas? Come on. Mayorga is far, far, far better than Campas.
Here's where your 'miles better' is applicable. (edit: I realize this wasn't your argument now, but you've jumped in)

Now, if you, for some reason, think that Mayorga = Campas...then saying Vargas is miles better than Mayorga makes sense.
But
imo, there ain't no fuggin way to even pretend that mayorga = campas.

And discounting Mayorga's two clear wins over Forrest because of intimidation...well, that's convenient and disingenuous considering that Forrest was the favorite in that fight and a p4p guy at the time.
