Former junior middleweight champion Fernando Vargas (left) entered the ring and challenged Hector Camacho Jr this weekend after Camacho’s win over Yory Boy Campas. “El Feroz,” who looked to be quite a bit over his fighting weight, would be returning to the ring for the first time in over two years.
“My next fight will be against Vargas at a catch weight and not for a belt,” stated Camacho during his post fight.
When asked how realistic it was for Vargas, who physical appearance was compared to Chris Arreola due to his weight (which looked to be at least 200 pounds), to make it down to middleweight, or even light heavyweight, for a fight, Camacho responded with scorn.
“His fat ass got to lose some weight. No way he can lose that weight and be the same. But if that’s what they want, I’ll do it.”
Camacho seemed to relish in the opportunity to take on Vargas, however. He recognized that a fight with Vargas, in many ways, would be a natural. Both he and Vargas are trash talkers who know how to take bad feelings into the ring.
“He is a hot head,” commented Camacho on Vargas, “I can see this back and forth getting deeper and more heated. But I would like to put my name on the list of fighters who beat him. The De La Hoya’s. The Trinidad’s.”
Camacho seemed to recognize that the fight with Campas was not the impressive performance he promised but with the biggest win of his career since 2001 under his belt, “Machito” looks poised for bigger and better things in the near future.
This is just funny, who the hell wants to see this?
Vargas should start getting on that stanozolol again, there is no way he can get back in decent shape, he should come back as heavyweight.
