NEWFLASH: Vargas ducking?

Vargas-Castillejo a 10 rounder! By G. Leon De La Hoya-Vargas II on the horizon if Vargas gets by Castillejo! August 16, 2005 - On Saturday night, former two time junior middleweight champion Fernando Vargas will face Javier Castillejo in a ten round junior middleweight contest, not a twelve round championship eliminator to become mandatory challenger to newly crowned WBC champion Ricardo Mayorga. According to sources from Team vargas, the pride of Oxnard, California has no interest in challenging Mayorga because if he manages to get by Castillejo, a lucrative rematch with long-time rival Oscar De La Hoya is expected to come to fruition rather quickly. De La Hoya knocked Vargas out in a very entertaining fight back in September 2002. After the fight, Vargas tested positive for steroids and received a six month suspension. Many will wonder why this fight should happen when Vargas couldn't best De La Hoya on performance enhancing steroids, however, the fact remains De La Hoya-Vargas II on Cinco De Mayo weekend would generate HUGE money. REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! (8:15 PM ET) Shitty move on Vargas's part...So let me get this straight. Vargas fights in August and takes off another extended period to get his ass handed to him? Why not defeat Castillejo and then fight Mayorga in the winter and then if he wins go on to fight DLH...A fight that would be worthy? Vargas is done and is just looking for that big payday before he rides his burrito into the sunset. I hope Castillejo hands him his rusty ass.

Mayo would whoop on Vargas Rusty ass even if Vargas was still on Roids.... Thats a pretty bold statement considering Mayorga looked like crap at 154-160.

Vargas definitely won't be able to KO Mayorga, but he might be able to outpoint him...let's wait for Saturday

Saturday? I really don't know, I didn't watch the Joval fight because my Louisville Cardinals beat West Virginia in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tourney that night and scored the best comeback in basketball history. 2 months later, my boy Diego did the same thing in boxing. So anyway, I heard Vargas looked all right in the Joval fight but not spectacular. I watched De La Hoya-Castillejo back in 2001 or whenever it was and wasn't impressed with him. I'd say it's a close fight, but Vargas will probably eke it out on points. After Saturday, I'll let you know as honestly as I can if I think Vargas can beat Mayorga Vargas looked average against Joval.

I am tired of these bitches using the whole tito f**ked up mayo (like other fights)crap(we have seen he has not destroed myorga in anyway,mayo has heart and will)..come on..Mayorga went out like a man to a hard ass hitter(a frikin natural middlewiehgt hitter)..and tito hit his chin hella times before dropping him..That doesnt prove anything,like Mayo will be messed up for life or that tito owned him..ok he did but it was at a weight class that Mayo had no reason to be at. Tito got even more owned and embarrased against Winky and Hopkins...Tito got embarraseed in those fights,Mayo came out of the tito fight with hella fans and respect for going out there like he always will..to make a fight exciting and with heart. ____ Second...does anyone besides me feel like KTFO of vargas..i mean serioulsy..u cant even make excsuses for the guy anymore. He saids mayorga wouldnt be a problem for him to beat etc..(bad mouthing the guy)..so then why not fight him..it will jsut make ur DLH generate more money..f**k i hope Castelljo beats him saturday cuz im really tired of him..and i am not a hate..i use to be one of his biggest fans before..but he need to man up.

Doesn't matter if he's good or not. If Vargas wins and DOESN'T fight Mayorga, we all know he's a coward. Just curious, do you think Vargas will win?

One thing we know about Vargas is that the man wont duck anybody! Except Mayorga? I can't blame him for wanting the big payday against DLH. One last big payday before the public catches on that he is finished.

vargas aint ducking mayo. he already got fuked up by tito who probably hits harder if not the same as mayorga. hes a smart man tho a fight with de la hoya on cinco de mayo would b huge. i think he would beat mayo also, outbox him. if mayorga couldnt knock out that italiano how he gona ko vargas? mayorgas 2 sloppy and even tho vargas aint n his prime, he is still a complet fighter. i say vargas wins a boring decision over castiejllo. then he fights de la hoya next year, which should be an intersting fight.

I would like to see De La Hoya vs. Vargas II, I thought the first was great. Actually that was one of the first fights to get me into boxing.
