Vargas had to starve himself to get down to junior middleweight, and looked terrible against Vargas because of this. Against Mayorga, I assume Vargas would be fighting at 154 again, which is very bad news. If Vargas has any future in the sport it is the 168 lb division. Thats right, not 160, 168, 154 is that far from his proper division.
I am feeling more and more strongly against the day before weigh ins. The way fighters are cutting weight is absolutely ridiculous. Fighters should not be sucking on ice cubes and not eating for the three days prior to a weigh in.
Physically, Vargas has looked way way off since he was caught taking steriods, and I assume it's because he hasn't taken them since. In every one of his fights his speed and power hasn't been the same, and just visually you can tell his body is way different because he has a lot less muscle definition.
The contract said it would be a catch weight of 160 give or take 1 pound. I think Vargas is in the same boat mayorga is. He fought one to many A list HOFs.
Former world champion Ricardo Mayorga is in the United States after being detained last week in his native Nicaragua. Promoter Don King reportedly helped bail Mayorga out of two legal sc****s, and now there is talk that the Nicaraguan strongman is in the U.S. to sign a contract for a possible mouth-watering May 5 showdown against Fernando Vargas on SHOWTIME, which would go head-to-head with the De La Hoya-Mayweather pay-per-view event the same day. Stay tuned...
