In one of the most highly anticipated grudge battles of the year, two-time world champion Fernando Vargas faces three-time world champion Ricardo Mayorga at a catch weight of 162 pounds on Saturday, Sept. 8, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif., on SHOWTIME PPV. Kermit Cintron will defend his IBF welterweight title against Jesse Feliciano, and Roman Karmazin faces Luca Messi for the WBA super welterweight Intercontinental crown in other 12-round bouts. http://fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=20067
intresting fight.. I think if Vargass loses to him... that's sad. to me, Mayorga is a bum who is just wild... I think the fact Verrnon lost to him is some of the most embarassing figts in history. He got bum rushed by a bum I think at one point Vargass was pretty talented, he just got moved too fast too soon.. him and david reed both.. if Vargass fought Tito later on he still would have lost but maybe fought a lil better.. BUT.. vargass showed skills once, Mayorga has not.. I think Vargass is gonna Knock his ass out
Anything is possible when two bums fight each other. Both guys are beyond shot! Both guys are beyond vulnerable. Both guys havethe power to obliterate the other early and yet this fight could also end up going the distance. When two motherfucking bums meet in the centre of the ring, anything is possible.
I'm in 100 percent agreement with this point. You hit that nail right on with Reid and Vargas being moved along too fast. I'll Holla 5000
After this fight I get to go eat whatever I want. Whatever I want I'm going to eat. If I want to drink a little bit, I drink a little bit. But (for) now I like it; it's for your health. I know now the fact that my body has been so used to doing something since I was 10 years old. Every day I used to do something at the gym after school. (I got the fate gene from) my biological father. I needed to stay in the gym, Monday through Friday and through the weekend. But, now, if I want to let loose a little bit, I'll do that. But other than that I?ll be keeping my shape for my health, and looking good for my wife and doing movies and staying in business. Vargas will become a huge fatso within 1 year :eeeek: ________ IRISH COOKING
yeah. i did find that kind of odd that eating seemed to be a primary objective of his retirement. :: and he was talking like he didn't eat all he wanted in between fights all these years.
It won't take that long. Remember Vargas at the movie premiere for Alpha Dog? That was 6 months after the Mosley rematch. Anyway, I hope Vargas gives Mayorga a beating.
Reid had to be moved along quickly. That eye wasn't going to get any better. He had to cash out asap. Vargas was too brave and too ambitious for his own good.
It sounds like he have a eating disorder. You know, when people eat because they feel unfulfillment in their lives, or to cover up depression/anxiety disorders.
I wish the interviewer had asked Vargas what his current judgement was on Tito's hand-wraps. I've always been a huge fan of Tito's, but let's face it, there was something unnatural about his punching up to and including the Joppy fight.
Bums? Come on staff. Bums usually are those who never accomplished sh*t in their careers. Surely Vargas and Mayorga respectively have at least earned enough of a reputation to be called 'shot fighters' as opposed to 'bums'? :dunno: So what is every fighter who is past his best? A bum? Will Floyd be a bum if he gets KTFO? Is Roy Jones now a bum just because he's no longer at the top?
dsimon writes: Question: Fernando says he has the confidence to beat you because of what happened in Los Angeles where he felt he did a number on you. What's your response to that? Mayorga: I don't know why he said that because he hasn't won anything from me yet. Huge Freudian slip. Mayorga has already conceded the fight. He will do the same shit he did with Oscar. I swear Mayorga pusses out and it sucks. He is hillarious and then he just pusses out.
This is going to be a PPV right? Man you guys better follow my lead. This will be one to skip for the ages. I'm not even sure I want to see it at all based off of how horrible Vargas looked in the Mosley fights and Mayorga's penchant for making fights ugly. So unless this gets reviewed as an exciting fight I'll likely skip the HBO replay as well. This will make Hopkins-Wright & Floyd-Oscar look like FOTY contenders, trust me it'll be a steaming pile of :shit: .
SlyStaff is 100% correct with this post - THIS IS WHAT BOXING IS ALL ABOUT!!!! :bears: Fuck all that speedy combinations, great footwork and ultra-defense.....this is what we wanna see more of. I propose the following: Bowe - Holyfield IV or Bowe vs Golota III Gatti - Ward IV Barerra v Morales IV Benn v McClellan II Kelley v Gainer III Eubank v Watson II Mancini v Kim II etc, etc ::
I guess that's true.. he just didn't have the skill to protect his eye.. I guess they had to rush him.. but if I was managing him, I'd have him fight tomato cans fo ryears... just blow them out.. he could get a HUGE following and never risk
