This fight would have been great years ago. But Vargas has the advantage of being the bigger mand nad not having to cut weight and how good is Mayorga gonna be that his confidence was shattered twice? Mayorga accepts losses very well like a gentleman but he TAKES losses very hard. I don't even know if he will perform. Confidence was/is and pride was/is a huge thing with Mayorga, he's lost it twice. So I wonder where his desire is going.. You can tell..
After Spinks beat him, Mayorga who used to eat pizza on the scale can't make 147 anymore...
After Trinidad beats him Mayorga never offers his chin to anyone again...
Mayorga has trouble making 154 for the Oscar fight despite him training "hard" he tests positive for a laxitive...
When Oscar beats him Mayorga looks like he's about to cry on the canvas because he knows he's beaten
And THIS fight is at 160...
And catch weight of 162 where Mayorga is more at a disadvantage...and Vargas has been the one doing the talking.. I havent heard swear, curse or trash talk from Mayorga at all...
So I'm worried that mentally and confidence wise.. Mayorga will never be the same again.
He knows he was beaten...
Vargas however will always believe that Oscar's left hook to him was a lucky punch...
He will always believe that Tito had to cheat with low blows to beat him...
He will always believe that the only way Shane Mosley beat him was because he was weight drained...
And he even joked about getting stopped by Mosley...
In Fernando Vargas' mind, he has never ever been beaten. There was always a reason behind it which is why he can still get himself up for these fights and why he is the one talking the trash this time.
Vargas still has a faith in himself and that it takes a lucky shot a cheap shot, a quick stoppage, or a weakness of himself in order to beat him. So his confidence isnt ever shattered by his losses the way that Mayorga's were.
When you look at both fighters...
Mentally and physically..the edge will go to Vargas...
Nobody knows where Mayorga is mentally..nobody knows where Mayorga is gonna be physically..
Mayorga is the question mark in his fight. If you pick him you're rolling the dice here...
Mayorga may never ever mentally be the same..and his drive may be gone...
But if you're a Mayorga fan.. your ray of hope is that maybe.. Just maybe Mayorga can get up for Vargas...
Because for once in his career, Mayorga isnt the one who's insulting someones honor or his manhood, Vargas is questioning his and THAT may be exactly what would get Mayorga up to the point of being El Matador and proving something to himself once again. So it may be Vargas' mistake.
I wish both fighters luck and think it will be a cracking evening of boxing
