In a recent conference call to help hype the anticipated match-up of Fernando Vargas vs Ricardo Mayorga on Saturday, Sept. 8, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif., on SHOWTIME PPV, Mayorga took the time to hit back at some of Vargas's insults towards him. Mayorga dissed Vargas for being a "Fat guy from Mexico" and said he'd prove Vargas is stupid. Mayorga also promised he would hit Vargas harder than he has ever been hit before.

Question: Vargas has been saying 162 is the big weight class for you, Ricardo, that you're a stupid fighter; you don't know how to fight, you just come to the ring and throw punches and he has the advantage to knock you out. What’s

your reaction to that?

Mayorga's response: "First of all, Vargas is out of his mind. He doesn't even imagine how much power I have. He doesn't even know that I'm the fighter that is going to hit him harder (than he’s been hit)."

Mayorga added: "I'm going to hit him as hard as I can. I'm going to knock out that fat guy from Mexico, that is Vargas. I'm in better shape than he is."

Mayorga was then asked: "How do you feel about the fact that Vargas keeps referring to you as a stupid fighter?"

Mayorga responded with: "The world is just full of crazy people and stupid people. I'm going to show him who is stupid and who is the one that is going to beat him in the ring."
