Vargas couldn't make weight. The real reason the fight is off.

[BoxingGuru]

Good cover up, but the real reason the fight is off, is Vargas wasn't anywhere near making weight. So good show, but the rumors around L.A. have been circulating for about a week now.

[dave82]

evidence to support this?

[lefthook31]

I wouldnt be suprised, and Vargas really didnt want to fight anymore anyway, thats why I was leaning towards Mayorga to knock him out.

[BoxingGuru]

evidence to support this?

Sorry Dave, I don't have any links or proof. It's just what's circulating around town.

You could tell at the press conference he was still way too heavy. I hear he came down from 250...and that one picture looked like it.

[BoxingGuru]

I wouldn't be surprised if that were really the case either. The guy blows up like fucking elephant in between fights, and then people wonder why he's looks so shot at this point of his career.

Clearly the same thing is going on with Hatton. The more he blows up between fights and comes back down the more he has resorted to WWF tactics. Do you think he's on the same path?

[brisback]

He does not want to box anymore and would like to start a rock band........

Nice, as I was reading this a commercial for the PPV was just on the television.

[DanePugilist]

Seems like humourous speculation, yet likely, but I will wait to have this confirmed before I unholster my guns.

And you're nasing this on what? Aside from bullshit....

[Ramshall1]

just another rumor, the fight was at 162. . . Im sure he can make that.

[Carlos Primera]

man i'd pay money to see an interview about mayorgas reaction/comments about the situation.

[jecxbox]

I read on maxboxing that he weighed 264lbs in January...GOOD GAME!!!! :rofl :rofl

[Illmatic]

I heard he was 170 over a week before the fight...i dont believe this rumor

[willnav]

I would like to see proof that he is anemic. That's uncommon for young men. The weight problem makes much more sense. . .

[the_churn]

I would like to see proof that he is anemic. That's uncommon for young men. The weight problem makes much more sense. . .

Especially when coupled with the fact that he should be up and running in two more months. Of course, no one has mentioned that this probably screws up Mayorga's training schedule which was undoubtely arranged so that he could be at peak performance on fight night.

[BoxingGuru]

And you're nasing this on what? Aside from bullshit....

I'm not going to repeat myself. You can scroll up and re-read the bullshit.

[paulfv]

Vargas sucks. I only want him to make weight for this fight so that he can get sent into retirement via KO by Mayorga.

[Lance_Uppercut]

I'm not going to repeat myself. You can scroll up and re-read the bullshit.

Oh, my bad..you heard from the "rumor mill"...:roll:

[teekay00]

i dont think vargas would have problems making weght at 162. Mayorga wanted to fight at 147 but there was no way that vargas could do that. I think Mayorga looked way more aggressive in the interviews and i think vargas looked scared, that is why I think the fight is off.

[planetzion]

Clearly the same thing is going on with Hatton. The more he blows up between fights and comes back down the more he has resorted to WWF tactics. Do you think he's on the same path?

:rofl :rofl

yeah right that was a real wwf body shot that broke 2 of Castillos ribs

[mad_takamura]

too bad if the fight is off! despite mayorga's attitude i wanted to see him win this fight! besides the way he taunts, he is one cool s.o.b.!

[teekay00]

So you are trying to say that Hatton does not hold and hit?

I like Hatton a lot but i cannot deny the fact that he holds and hits, a LOT!

[smokey]

Are you guys saying that he had surgery just to set up an excuse? Please.

[Sug3]

Good cover up, but the real reason the fight is off, is Vargas wasn't anywhere near making weight. So good show, but the rumors around L.A. have been circulating for about a week now.


I agree and i think that vargas all of a sudden had a case of the butterfly flu.

[BoxingGuru]

And you're nasing this on what? Aside from bullshit....

In a recent interview with ***********.com's Jose Aguirre, Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (28-6, 23KOs) had plenty to say, as usual.

"With all due respect to the public. Vargas is vulgar and irresponsible, with 11 days before the fight, which was the 8th of September, with only 11 days to go, he came and gave an excuse that he was sick with an allergy. That f*ggot Vargas is the shame of Mexico. Mexicans are warriors ([Only registered and activated users can see links]***********.com/?m=show&id=10668#), if they don't have an arm they get in the ring and fight with the other, he is the shame of Mexico. He is irresponsible because he was weighing 189 pounds with only 15 days left, he knew he could not make 162 lbs."

i told a mate a while back that i thought it was the real reason.
confirmation or not,its what i still believe.
i think 168 is his best hope,not that he'll do much there,but he should be able to make it.

[surreal deal]

And you're nasing this on what? Aside from bullshit....
why so cynical lance?its highly plausible,nay,probable.
