Vargas-Mayorga Weigh-In Results and Photos
By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Fri, 23 Nov 2007

LOS ANGELES -- Today, right smack in the middle of Thanksgiving Day (one of America?s biggest holidays), the official weight for tomorrow?s championship fight card was held at the posh Staple Center.
Both Fernando ? El Feroz? Vargas, the two-time world champion pride of Oxnard, California and Ricardo Mayorga, the three-time world champion cum loud mouth from Nicaragua hit the scales at 164 lbs.
The occasion is the last time the two gladiators will lay eyes on its other before they will try to tear each other apart tomorrow night. Fortunately, unlike the first press conference earlier this summer, the weigh in was relatively quiet. There was no un-scheduled fight although body languages indicated the obvious dislike for each other. This is all because the event organizers saw to it that a large thick plexi-glass barrier separated the two warriors.
The main undercard fighters, Kermit Cintron weigh in at 146.75 and Jesse Feliciano at 147 lbs.
