I've gone back and forth with this fight. After listening to these two talk, I'm not sure how anyone can say they don't care about this fight. The insults are classic, and even if it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, for tonight, it's a great fight that surely will end with one of them getting stopped.
If this had been made at Light-Middle, I think Mayorga would seriously hurt Vargas. Now we're moving up in weight, I'm unsure, as I see Vargas being stronger. I did read recently that Vargas still has a bulging disk in his back that he's able to cover up by bulking up on his abs and back. Counting on that not to flare up sounds stupid to me and if we go past 6 rounds he's gunna be feeling it. Even at this weight, I'm sticking with my original prediction of a Mayorga TKO between 4 & 6 rounds.
I fucking hope Mayorga wins. He's an arsehole, but lets face it, they both are...and when both have spent their careers disrespecting other fighters, I can't have sympathy for the guy that loses the war of words before hand. This time, Mayorga has been plain funny.
