Vargas-Mosley Hype

[DIEGO DA HITMAN]

This fight would've been classic a few years back, and even though neither is the fighter they used to be, I highly anticipate this superbout... thoughts?

I think this could be a great fight. If a brawl breaks out, I think Vargas has a shot, but if Mosley boxes him, I don't think Vargas can handle Mosley, especially at 154.

both fighters lost to oscar (but DLH was robbed in the 2nd fight with shane), both are past their primes, and both are overhyped.

i personally hold no interest in this fight, whatsoever.

Vargas appears to be the most damaged and has no chin, but Mosley has stopped throwing bombs. If Mosley is aggressive, he KO's Vargas. If he is passive like he has been since losing to Winky, I can see Vargas getting a close decision with a few wobbly moments.

Either way, it's just not a compelling "must see" kind of fight.

I agree, it would've been a high profile fight some yrs ago. But it couldn't have come at a better time. Boxing needs this right now. And a win for either fighter would put them back in the title pic.Mosley will outbox Vargas for a close decision.

i'm not gunna order this but i do think it is an important fight just to see who has more gas left in the tank

i want vargas to beat the crap outta "sugar & ****" mosley.

but unfortunately im not convinced that he can win a decision. mosley
will likely win 7rds which will be enough to cover any hairy moments

i think this fight will also be a snoozefest that vargas will win by SD.

That's the way I see it. Even though they are not the fighters they used to be, both these guys, particularly Mosley, have always fought real fights, always looking for what the public wants. Jones-Hopkins is another case of this, and even though it should've happened at the turn of the milennium, at least it's going down.

As a fellow Gatti fan, many decent fights seem like snoozefests compared to watching Arturo, but I think that these two have so much to prove, as far as their present worth, that it could turn into a good, maybe great fight. We'll see...
