Fernando Vargas – Battered and Bewildered

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One right cross after another kept slamming against the side of his face. He had no defense for it. Instead of stepping back and establishing a jab Fernando Vargas allowed his ego to get the better of him yet again. He trudged forward, adopting the role of the tough guy, and played right into Shane Mosley’s hands. That inability to control his emotions, that ego that allowed him to beat lesser opponents cost him, once again, against an elite fighter. Fernando Vargas once again proved his grit and at the same time showed why he will never be remembered as a great fighter. He thinks with his heart and walks into the ring so ****sure that his mind turns to narcissistic mush. [details]

Looking at photos of Vargas, it brings a whole new meaning to "protect yourself at all times.." Eye injuries are common in boxing be it a cut or swelling mainly because its a main target of a hook to the head. As a boxer, when you see your opponents eye get marked, you target it--its as simple as that..its part of the plan to inflict as much damage to the other guy as much as you can before he does the same to you. Do you think that Mosley's corner was tellin him to stay away from Vargas' eye? Nope, they were tellin him to keep punching at it. If it were me, Id've started punching the other eye.
I will admit though it was one of the worst eye injuries that Ive seen next to Rahman...Im surprised and relieved that it didnt bust wide open.

I think Vargas is young and energictic, He want to rule the world but that not how to win fight. I think Vargas have a very good future in front of him if he becomes more mature
