Vargas, Mayorga Media Interview Transcript

Haha, Mayorga's fuming, mang. I love how he keeps calling Vargas a fat ass and ****, but I really like Fernando, and being that this is his last fight, I'd like to see it go into around round 9 or 10 and have him score a huge knockout in a CLOSE fight, it'd be the perfect way to go out.

Mayorga interview transcript. LOL

Question: Do you think that you're the stronger of the two at 166?

Mayorga: In any weight class I'm stronger than him. This is all about the hormones that you have in your body, and I have too many men's hormones in my body, and he doesn't. He has some girl's hormones in his body, so I'm stronger than him no matter what.

Question: Most of your memorable fights have ended in the early rounds by knockout. Are you expecting to surprise Fernando on November 23rd?

Mayorga: I think the fight won't go more than three rounds. I know as soon as he feels my pressure, he's going to get knocked out.

Question: After your fight with Fernando, do you have your eye on any other fighters in the middleweight division?

Mayorga: Yeah, I want to beat Vargas, and then I want to come down to 154 and I want to be a world champion at 154, and of course everybody knows who is my son. I just have to go in the ring and tell him give me my title.

Question: Do you thing that all the talking for this fight will affect the outcome of the fight?

Mayorga: It doesn�t matter. He's doing this because he wants the money. He's not doing this for any pride or anything. He's just doing it because he needs the money. And Vargas knows that, that he's broke. He's just doing this to get money, and he's not going to retire, he's going to keep doing this just to get money.

Question: I wanted to ask you, many people in the community are opposed to Mayorga in this fight. They're going to be cheering for Vargas because of a lot of the antics that have gone on outside the ring, and I'm wondering how you feel about it.

Mayorga: I have to respect everybody's decision to cheer for whoever they'd like. I just say what I think I have to say at the moment. I say what I think is true. I just recommend Vargas to get a big truck of eggs to he can eat a lot of eggs to see if he has a power to fight me on November 23rd.

Question: What is it that makes you think that you're so much stronger than Fernando, especially at the weight of 166?

Mayorga: I am stronger than him in any weight class, man. I walk around at this weight class, and at more than this. I have to lose weight to make this weight class, too. I already told you guys about the hormones. He has women's hormones. He can never be stronger than me.

Question: You're obviously very confident going into this fight, predicting a knockout by the third round. Have you watched tapes of Fernando Vargas' last fight and have you seen anything there that makes you so confident of a knockout by the third round?

Mayorga: I just feel that I know I'll knock him out. I feel very strong. And about the tapes, I don't watch tapes, not even when I fought real fighters and real champions before and better fighters than him I didn't watch tapes. I don't think it's important to watch tapes to fight him, either.

Question: A lot of the comments you've made seem to show that you really do not like Fernando Vargas as a person. What is the reason for that?

Mayorga: I don't like the guy. I really don't like the attitude of the guy. I really don't like him. I am going to knock him out, and even his wife is going to come up to the ring and have pictures with the real champion, and that is going to be me.

Question: The question was are you going to show up at 166.

Mayorga: Right now I was thinking of showing up at 164, which is what I was training at, and around that is what I was weighing with all the training, but who knows from here to the fight. But it doesn't really matter what weight I arrive. I may arrive less. Vargas is going to feel my hands. That's the important part here.

Question: Due to what you have said earlier, that you don't really consider Fernando Vargas as a serious opponent to you, does that mean that you haven't had proper training for this fight and that you think you don't need proper training to really defeat Fernando Vargas?

Mayorga: I said that he's not a usual opponent for me, but no matter what, I don't take anybody lightly. I've been training very hard, especially for him, because I want to hit him as hard as I can hit him, more than any fighter I've fought.

Hopper: Ricardo, do you have any closing thoughts that you haven't been able to say on the call?

Mayorga: I just want to say thank you to everybody for being on the call, and I want to say to all the fans to go and watch this fight. No matter what, this is going to be a fight. I'm going to show everybody everything that I said, that I'm very strong and I'm going to knock this guy out. I'm going to knock him out and I'm going to show everybody that it's Ricardo Mayorga for a long time. Thank you.

I found this funny.

Vargas: I want to thank everybody, my team, VEP team, everybody involved with this fight. Now you guys can listen to ‑‑

Keenan: Fernando, let's keep you on for a couple minutes.

Vargas: I've got to go because I'm ready to train. So now you guys are in for the jackass antics later on.

Mayorga: No matter what, I’ll fight you at 180. He keeps changing the weight class to fight. So no matter what weight you come, I'm going to knock you out, you fatass.

Keenan: Is that the opening comment?

Mayorga: That's what I was trying to tell him before he left the call.
