Mayorga Vs Vargas September 8th

one thing good about this fight is that it seems like the opinions are evenly split. The question is who is the more washed up fighter.

The answer is Vargas. He broke Sugar Shane Mosley's 5 year KO drought. What does that tell you?

I think Vargas should win this one, not a signifigant fight, but should be entertaining. And if boxrec is correct we should have a pretty decent undercard....

Super Middleweight Fernando Vargas v Ricardo Mayorga 12
Catchweight of 162 lbs

Light Middleweight Luis Collazo v Sharmba Mitchell 12
IBF Light Middleweight Title Eliminator

Light Middleweight Daniel Santos v Jose Antonio Rivera 12
WBA Light Middleweight Title Eliminator

Light Heavyweight Paul Briggs v Hugo Hernan Garay 10
William Joppy v ? 0

Looks like a solid under card!
Santos/ Rivera & Briggs/ Garay should be good!
As for Mayorga/ Vargas... I can't wait for the smack talk to start!!!

Mayorga is way past his prime.

Vargas is a corpse.

Good looking undercard. I'm tellin ya fellow boxing nerds, I'm seriously thinking about makin the 6-7 trip down to L.A. to see this shat. My hero Mayorga is gonna waste Vargas. Anyone know if tickets are on sale yet? I should probably check, seems early, but ya never know.

Hard to say. Mayorga has been stopped in his last 2 fights hasn't he? I wouldn't say Mayorga is fresh either. This is two guys who are shopworn.

---

Oh don't get me wrong, I know these two are past their best but I think Mayorga is possibly the fresher of the two. Vargas' chin is a question mark to me, whereas Mayorga's is like granite. Sure Ricardo gets stopped but he takes some tremendous shots up to that point! I think Fernando's back problems have ruin his career!

---

I wouldnt exactly call his chin granite, but i think Vargas will win this easily if he uses his head and box's him.

I am not sure. When a fighter is well known everyone knows how to fight him and beat him. The lesser known guys are the guys people do not know about. So the fact Vargas has a style everyone is aqainted with makes him easier to beat compared to had they not known who he was.
