by TK Stewart - They’ve been trading insults and barbs and saying nasty things about each other for the past four months. And on the day after Thanksgiving in Los Angeles, Fernando Vargas and Ricardo Mayorga are finally going to try and shut each other up for good.
“Vargas is going to be a coward and run from the very beginning,” proclaims Mayorga, a bandito like character who grew up dirt poor on the mean streets of Managua, Nicaragua. “I don’t plan to wait around for him to fight. I’ll be looking to knock him out in the early rounds.”
The fight had to be postponed for 2 ˝ months while Vargas waited for his anemia to clear up. He claims that “too many aspirin,” caused stomach ulcers that led to internal bleeding. The rumor is that Vargas, a lover of all things food, may have also needed extra time to lose excess baggage and sweat down to the contracted weight of 166 pounds. He has lost over 100 pounds in the past several months and the initial contract called for the fight to take place at 162, but Vargas re-negotiated the contract and asked for the higher limit. Whatever the case, Vargas says the postponement was justified. “I was losing the equivalent of two pints of blood,” he says. “It took me two months just to get back to normal.” [details]
