Vargas - Mayorga off.

[Eli_jr24]

Very frustrating. It's not good for the career of VArgas.

Vargas already said this was his last fight, so I don't see how this would affect his career by not going through with it.


I can't imagine anybody would give him too much credit for winning against a fighter at a ridiculous catch weight that belongs at 147 and gave up all his power by going up to 154.

I've seen pics of Vargas somewhat recently, and he got way too fat. There is no way a fighter can get as fat and out of shape as Vargas was and turn around to condition himself to be a quality fighter in a matter of a couple months.

Mayorga could have came in 20 pounds lighter, pimped Vargas, and cash out on beating a big name opponent.

Vargas did the smart thing................ He was too out of shape to get back in the ring so he canceled the fight with some low red blood cell excuse. (read the symptoms for low red blood cells and it sounds like obesity) It's much better for him to retire instead of losing to a C+ fighter like Mayorga, when all Vargas has lost to in the past was A fighters.

Good point. I too agree it was a weight issue. That's too many pounds to lose. We saw what happened to Tarver against Hopkins when he had to lose a large amount of weight for a fight.
