In what was set up for and inevitable blood bath was nothing short of two fighters past their primes trying to get one last moment of glory for a meaningless title.
Fernando Vargas took another L in a 12 round decision by Ricardo Mayorga. Vargas was put on the canvas in the very 1st round from a right hand that looked a little close to the back of the head (like it matters anyway).

Vargas had some moments of where he looked like he was facing Trinidad or De La Hoya again, but Mayorga would gather his wind and connect with those swinging right hands that ironically Vargas was eating up.

Vargas fell once again in the later rounds from another right hand just as the bell rang.



Vargas said this is his last fight at the young boxing age of 29. He's fought every great welterweight that his generation had to offer. Unfortunately, he could never get a victory over the likes of Trinidad, De La Hoya, Mosley who were the top names during that time. Regardless he'll be remembered as a tough fighter that brought a lot of entertainment and controversy which doesn't always hurt.
