Fernando Vargas: The Pullout. Your Opinion?

[heat27]

what is this bull****?
vargas better lose some weight.

My mother is severely anemic and she wasn't born with it. It didn't show up in her bloodwork until she was around 35 years old, and she seemed perfectly healthy at the time. Now she's a sickle cell anemic, which is the worst type of anemia there is. Her body produces no iron whatsoever and she must constantly take iron suppliments. She coughs up blood daily, and sometimes even pisses pure blood.

I'm not sure if Vargas' is that serious because we don't know yet, but you are certainly not born with anemia.

I can't blame people for not trusting Vargas and his camp after the steroids issue, and I've never even been a fan of him. Maybe I'm a bit naive but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here in saying that with his advancing age, the wear and tear his body has already been through, and his weight issue, anemia was probably brought on by training.

Of course he could be using it as an excuse not to fight Mayorga, and I certainly wouldn't put it past him. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until further details emerge.

On the contrary, Anemia is an inherited trait, and some children are born with it. You can certainly become anemic by iron defiency and blood loss, and other issues regarding your health, but being born anemic is definitely a possibility.

Seriously, Vargas has no reason what so ever to be scared of Mayorga. Thats just not true at all. He just fought Mosley in his last fight, whats to be scared about?

[Welter_Skelter]

Its cause he knew I had betted against him.. and he didnt want me benefiting from his LOSS...

Me too, now I lost a potential 15k.

There's always Heavyweight for Vargas, that way he doesn't have to train. Seriously, I think he was having trouble with the weight, it's over a year since he fought Mosley he's not getting any younger, so I think getting into that sort of shape is going to be very hard. If your around 190 making 162 is just as hard as making 154. I can't understand why fighters blow out so much.

lmao, Vargas bust him in the chops. Got that cheeky fker good. ****!!!


Anemia can come from overtraining combined with inadequate nutrition. You lose iron with every training session you do. If he was trying to lose weight as well, then its a distinct possibility.

Maybe he wanted to stay home and watch Rampage vs. Henderson live?

[Darkstar]

^ Thats my new plan.
