Fernando Vargas Quotations

I have a jab now. I had one before, but now I throw a great cross jab to the body.

I fought bad. I wasn't feeling the way I should.

I was wondering why they stopped the fight. I was the one pushing the action, backing him into the ropes. I definitely want a rematch. Let's see what he says.

I was winning the fight with one eye. If I was him and I would've seen me, I would've gone for broke. But he didn't because he felt the wrath of what I carry in my right and left hands. A very few minor adjustments and I will knock him out this time. He knows I was winning. The world knows I was winning. I was winning with one eye.

I said it before, that I need to look great for my fans and for me to demand the fight. That's what I am looking forward to.

Others tried to tell me not to fight like that, but it wasn't until Danny Smith came along that I stopped.

I was really messed up in the head. I was always angry.

(Trainer) Danny Smith has opened my mind. I try to make sure I throw my combinations and work my angles and end defensively.

I wanted to fight in Chicago for my fans. I want to pay them back for all their support.

As a matter of fact, I have to have my snack right now.

This is a 230-calorie snack you know. See? I've worked hard.

Absolutely. He's a great champion. Right now, I'm going to rest, heal up, regroup.

I'm 27, and you can't be going up and down like that with your body.

I'm at the point in my life where I'm telling myself I'm not doing that do my body no more. I'm 27 and you can't be going up and down like that because your body ain't gonna go with you next time.

I just pick my spots... I have always been a technician,

I didn't think it was that bad. I could still see. I wasn't retreating. I would have stepped it up immensely if I thought they wanted to stop the fight. I was the one putting the pressure on him. When they stopped it, I thought they were just breaking it up.

I didn't think it was that bad. I could still see.
