Rip Vargas...

[Tito BHB]

Yo some of you guys know.. But some of you dont but this guy was on the up and up.. like alot of young guys in NY these days..
He was really loved and respected by the guys around him..

Last i saw Big Venezuela fight was on a broadway boxing show on the Kid stark/Santana undercard.. The guy had real class and was going places.. and its fitting that now he has passed, but in passing he is undefeated in 8fights..
And a dude with a gun proves nothing.. Ronnie was pistol whipped and drove on allegedly crashing into about 3 cars and attempting to get out.. Petty killing and they couldnt touch this dude without a weapon.. Undefeated Forever.

unior middleweight was off to an 8-0 start

Tragedy struck the boxing world as undefeated prospect Ronnie Vargas was gunned down in The Bronx, New York on Saturday. Vargas was a 8-0 as a pro and his amateur resume included three championships in New York's Golden Gloves tournament. Vargas, transplanted from Venezuela to The Bronx, was raised by a single father, German. He turned pro with Pat Lynch as his manager, the man best known for guiding Arturo Gatti's career. The murder occurred shortly after Vargas was seen talking to a girl, which made the girl's boyfriend jealous. The thug then followed Vargas in a car, cut the car off and shot Vargas in the chest. Boxingtalk sends its condolences for this senseless tragedy to German Vargas and everyone else grieving over this loss.

To Ronnie:

To the family and friends remember lets continue his memory & his legacy .....

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

Ronny Vargas was gunned down in his car following a dispute, and a surveillance camera caught the final moments of his life.


He was pistol-whipped and shot before he crashed into several vehicles in an effort to escape.


The video shows the end of the deadly confrontation, which began early Saturday at a bodega in the East Tremont section with some friends. Investigators say two men became angry when they saw their girlfriends talking with Vargas, who was sitting in his car outside.

After arguing, the 20-year-old Vargas drove away with his friends. But the suspects followed his car and cut him off. Then, one of the men pulled a gun and pistol-whipped Vargas before shooting him in the chest.


The video shows Vargas' car as he backed up, striking several other cars before getting out of the car and collapsing.


"There's an empty space in my heart right now, because I don't have him anymore," Vargas' brother, Ronald Vargas, said.


Vargas leaves behind not only a loving family, but also a promising boxing career. Vargas won the Golden Gloves junior middleweight title three times before turning professional in September. He went on to win all eight of his pro fights.


The memorial outside his apartment in Melrose shows the void that will be left in the neighborhood, where he was well-known and well liked.


Vargas last boxing match was two weeks ago, when he knocked out his opponent in the third round. He was set to fight October 18 in Atlantic City.
