The Official Ricardo Mayorga Vs. Fernando Vargas Thread

[Phantasm]

LOL. how did the crowd react?

The crowd was supporting Mayorga, however, there are lots of Nicaraguans who live down here (my fiance being one of them). He never took the podium, but did go on stage to shake hands with Oscar and Floyd. You can see my pics on the Miami presser thread.
Oscar thanked his mexican, puertorican, dominican and nicaraguan fans, and when he mention nica fans, he laughed and pointed at Mayorga, who laughed with him. Mayorga was swamped with fans asking for pics and autographs and he obliged everyone. Was in a real good mood.

Maybe he was paid to help promote. If Ricardo can do anything its sell. I dont know if it was you but i read on the other form he is in good shape. Maybe he is takin the vargas fight seriously.

Yeah, that was me. Last time I saw him was right after they announced his fight against De La Hoya. He was smoking away and physically, looked a little soft. Today, he looked tall, square and solid. When I shook his hand, it was like a rock, and I have been told I have a pretty solid handshake. While the fight hasnt been signed, he definately has been training well.

According to the Ventura County Star, the Honda Center in Anaheim is a possibility. It was also revealed that the fight will be at 162 pounds. "It's not for money. ... It's not for belts. I'm looking to make this fight for one reason and one reason only — for pride," Vargas is quoted as saying.
