Yeah Vargas might be annoying, might have come up short against most of the top guys but he had balls.
Thinking more along the lines of a early push in career and overall longevity.Vargas was the better boxer but built along the same promotion exposure.Vargas was more intense and firery in approach and speaking I'd say that.EDit....they both did and will soak up damage in effort to land more errm
rewatching the end.Shite He pretty much did a todd foster![]()

He's a young kid and still learning the game. It's not like this is one of the worst quits in boxing history. Roberto Duran still tops it for me, but yet you still have fans idolizing him and making excuses why he quit.
At least Ortiz quit because he was getting brutally hammered unlike a legend that quit because he was getting outbox.
if he quit against this guy what will he do against someone people have heard of I'm all for givin a guy a break but damn...your first time on the big stage great first impression to the casual fan no one gave khan a break for being young or darchin for that matter

Hidden Content Click clack ! Give up the purse.........or yetti will find you.
Never did like him. Not that I didn't think he had skill, I just always wanted him to lose.....like some instinctive voice.![]()
"If there's a better chin in the world than Pryor's, it has to be on Mount Rushmore." -Pat Putnam.
"Ferocious" Fernando Vargas fought multiple world champion and hall of famer Tito Trinidad for 11 rounds until he could no longer fight or get up to his feet.
"Vicious" Victor Ortiz fought a crude power punching contender and quit in the sixth round.
Aside from the nicknames and fighting out of Oxnard, I don't see much resemblence there.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I never saw the fight, but If it was as grueling as it sounds, I have no issue with him with calling it a day if he did not have any more in him.
He is young and still on a learning curve, he deserves another chance. Why take a beating for nothing? It sucks when they go out like that, but he might do a complete 180 with more maturity and experience.
He'll get another heart test down the line and then we will see where he stands. Everyone deserves 1 pass IMO.
