By Mark Vester
The Ventura County Star reports that the current tentative date for the grudge match between Fernando Vargas and Ricardo Mayorga is now September 8, at a Los Angeles venue to be determined. The paper interviewed Vargas, who gave them the latest date and says that he will co-promote the event under his new promotional company, Vargas Entertainment Promotions.
Vargas is sticking to his guns that Mayorga will be the final bout of his career. The fight will be held at a catch-weight of 162-pounds. According to Vargas, the strain of making the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds is too much for his body to take.
"That 8 pounds is the world," Vargas said, "and people don't understand that. I've got one more great fight in me. People can say what they want to say. This will be the last hurrah. Win, lose or draw. That's it."
