Vargas: Shane doing it for the $!
"Shane didn't want this fight, he got pressured into it," says Fernando Vargas in regard to his July 15 PPV rematch with Shane Mosley. "He didn't even want to be at the press conference after the fight and he was the winner. He didn't want to catch me because he knew I was going to call him out. He knows and the world knows he didn't want this fight. He's doing it for the money and I'm doing it for the vindication on July 15."

In regard to the swelling over his eye that prompted an early stoppage, El Feroz says he is using different headgear in training "so my face will get used to getting hit. I don't think it was used to it last time." He also stated he will tell the referee to control Shane's holding and headbutts. "He didn't make my eye swell with his hands or his fist. He did it with his head. He kept on coming in with his head. I remember it vividly, each time I got head butted, I was like, 'MAN.' I would just clench my teeth and look down so he couldn't see that he kept on hurting me when he was coming in with his head.....If I were to see Shane on the other side of the ring with an eye like that, I would have gone for broke. He respected what I carry in my left and right hand. He was respecting me with one eye, AND I was still winning the fight. He can't say he had me on the ropes and he was punishing me and they stopped it. When they stopped it, I was putting pressure on him."
