Fernando Vargas: The Pullout. Your Opinion?

[..........]

I think it's obvious to anyone who has been following this fight, exactly what is going on here. Now, i'm not going to say Mayorga intimidated Vargas. I'm not going to say Vargas thought he was out trained and out conditioned. However, I will toss out the possibility that Vargas will not be fighting Mayorga come September 8th, due to weight issues surrounding him.

First of all, Anemia (which Vargas claims to have been diagnosed with) is a blood problem that doesn't just pop up, you don't get Anemia as you do a common cold. He would have known about this for awhile, and used this as an excuse, because he is having trouble making weight.

I'll leave you with this video, how can you not love this guy?

I personally think Vargas was having serious weight problems and didn't want fining so used this excuse to buy himself more time to get into shape.

I think alot of people share your opinion. The guy is a clown, who is very out of shape. They could have used a better excuse then Anemia, because that is a problem you are born with, it doesn't come into play weeks before a fight.

He might have already had it and is just exposing it now as an excuse, but the fact of the matter is, he is overweight, and out of shape.

Not necessarily. People can and DO develop anemia for a whole host of reasons.

I think you are just Mayorga fans who are jumping to conclusions. Vargas has plenty of pride. When has he ever missed weight?

I firmly believe Vargas was caught attempting to Dope.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

vargas has admitted in several interviews that he likes to eat, when he was younger and fighting at 147 and 154 he would blow up in weight to around 190...now he's really gotten bad and blows up into 230, i dont think he ever really liked to train

"Fernando had never done these kinds of training modalities, so it was all new - and a big adjustment. He was 36 pounds overweight - he fights at 154 - so he has to lose 4 or 5 pounds a week. "former trainer"

i Think it is a good call on his part. I think he really does have anemia and prolly always has had it. I think it might have been elevated and out of the norm when the blood test was taken. We don't need any more casualties in the ring and Mayorga will be there later in da yr or next yr. And also Like someone said earlier, Vargas is a proud guy who has never missed weight so why are people accusing him making excuses. This Vargas and he don't apologize or make excuses

I think he is a *****. I think Mayorga took his heart. Mayorga was convinced he was going to **** Vargas. I think Vargas felt it.
