Oscar de la Hoya On the Vargas-Mosley SHOWDOWN

Presented by Main Events and Golden Boy Promotions from Mandalay Bay

Saturday, February 25, Live on Pay-Per-View

 

• The first few rounds Vargas will come out strong and try to bully him.  Mosley will stand his ground and fight harder.  I think Mosley will stop him in the late rounds. 

• People don’t realize how strong Mosley is.  I had a harder time pushing Mosley around than Vargas. 

• I do believe that Vargas is ready and in great shape. 

• There are two types of powers. Vargas has a heavy punch, walks you down and feels heavy.  Mosley’s speed is his power. 

• The later rounds will be the determining factor. 

• Their last performances were down due to the quality of opponent.  Both fighters needed this fight and both are ready. 

• Mosley is always in great shape and will walk you down, slowly, as the fight goes on.  He can turn it up, and turn it down.   

• Vargas will expend all of his energy at the beginning of the fight and then fade. 
   

• The loser of this fight will be fighting on Friday Night Fights.   
   

• You cannot outbox Mosley, that is impossible.  He is too fast. 
   

• Vargas will use his power and try to force his way in.   
   

• When Mosley has to turn it up he will.  I will not be alarmed to see Mosley stand toe-to-toe with Vargas.  Mosley has a better chin. 
   

• I added to the damage that Trinidad did and I think that Mosley will finish him off. 
   

•  Vargas will be in trouble and he is in for a very good fight. 
   

• Vargas’ downfall will be his anger.  His aggressive style is too over the top and it will do him in. 
   

• The fact that Vargas is focusing on his weight is a downfall.
