The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada plays host to a rematch between two fighters who many consider past their prime, but put on performances in the first bout that displayed shades of their former selves. Former champions Fernando “El Feroz” Vargas (26-3, 22KOs) and “Sugar” Shane Mosley (42-4, 36KOs) will once again collide in what many are still calling a crossroads fight.
The first fight, which took place on February 25, ended with its share of controversy. The bout was very close in terms of the judges’ scorecards and the action in the ring. After the end of the first round, Vargas’s left eye began to swell at a rapid pace. How or why the eye began to swell so quickly is still a mystery. Fearing that Vargas was no longer able to defend himself from the incoming punched of Mosley, the referee stopped the fight in the tenth round and in the process gave Mosley a technical knockout win.
