    Fernando should hang 'em up ASAP!!!

    I've never seen a 27-year-olD fighter with worse physical & verbal repercussions from boxing than Fernando Vargas.....

    He was swollen, bruised, & looked to have a broken jaw after the fight, when it seemed that he took very few serious punches....

    Nando used to be a very entertaining interview, now he mumbles and grunts and groans after the fights when he talks to Larry Merchant...

    in all seriousness, it's getting very sad, I can see this guy being going down the Meldrick Taylor route very shortly, Nando was a great prospect in the late 90's but he has deteriorated tremendously from his 2 KO losses

    I think he should keep fighting but stop trying to be Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think he needs to fight with his own style. But I agree Sactown Vargas looked bad last night.

      I dont know about all that jazz, but Vargas did improve from his previous performances.

      I still dont think he beats DLH.

        Exactly, that new style just killed his aggression which was his strength. Boxing isnt his strenght.

          And his, corner was telling him to box and not take him out. Can't fault Vargas for following his corner. Remember his trainer said, "**** the audience. Fight his ass."?

            I hear ya, but that's exactly what I'm trying to point out...

            Nando is punch-drunk, he can't brawl anymore, because he has NO CHIN!!! He's now trying to be more of a "boxer" in order to extend his career, which will ultimately destroy him physically....

            kinda reminds me of that kid Augie Sanchez, great prospect, but once his chin was exposed his career was basically over

              Exactly!!!! I couldnt agree anymore. He gets into a fight with someone that can hit and boom hes out. His biggest fault is that he's naturally a brawler not a boxer and two he loses his cool TOO easily and will abandon that Mayweather-like defense in a heartbeat.

                    he was kinda pale, mid-length dark hair, I think he went by "Kid Vegas"...

                    he got KO'd by Prince Naseem & John Michael Johnson in highlight-reel fashion
