Frochy Froch in the cut :demonic:

97g :whoa:


"I was talking to Tom Loeffler, who is his promoter, publicist or his manager. I asked him what weight Golovkin would fight [me at] because right now I'm 180-pounds. So I asked if he would come up to 172 and he said 'no,' that he probably wouldn't come up to super middleweight. The only fight I’d come back for potentially is Golovkin," Froch told Talk Sport.

“So if I was to come back, it would have to be for a really big fight like Gennady Golovkin, but having said that he's too small and talking about dropping down to 155-pounds to fight Canelo Alvarez. These are small guys compared to me.”

On This Day: Fernando Vargas survives inspired effort from Winky Wright to keep IBF light-middleweight title


Jack Webb remembers the night Winky Wright hinted at things to come against unbeaten Fernando Vargas


THEN unbeaten 21-year-old ‘Ferocious’ Fernando Vargas entered the bout having stopped all of his previous 17 opponents and was making the third defence of the IBF belt he won almost exactly one year previous against Luis Ramon Campas to become the youngest man to win a ‘world’ light-middleweight title.

Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright would prove to be his younger opponents’ hardest test to date, bringing to the ring a water-tight defence, great balance, accurate punching and a far greater level of experience with a 41 fight ledger (39-2) that was analogous to a world tour.

The fight was a thrilling one, full of action with both boxers willing to trade punches under the lights of the Chinook Winds Casino Convention Center in Lincoln City, Oregon.

It was very much nip and tuck in the first six rounds, with Vargas notably winning the first and fourth rounds with his faster, sharper punching and Wright taking the second and sixth rounds by controlling the pace with his jab and work-rate.

The ebb-and-flow of the fight was, perhaps, best reflected by the tenth and eleventh rounds; the former won by the fighting heart of Vargas forcing Wright back over the last minute and the latter seeing the challenger take the round by drilling a couple of stiff right hands through a tiring Vargas’ defences.

The final round saw Fernando finish like a champion, scoring with a right to the head, then left to the body, before his momentum was halted by a slip. Conversely, ‘Winky’ was content enough with his evening’s work to raise his arms in victory about 10 seconds from the end when he may have been better off working with the outcome of the gripping battle about to be settled by the three scorers at ringside.

Judges Debra Barnes and Jim Howard scored the bout 116-122 and 115-113 for Vargas, respectively, with judge Dave Hess seeing the fight a draw with a score of 114-114, ensuring that Vargas would retain his belts as winner by a majority decision.

The decision did not constitute daylight-robbery by any means, but Debra Barnes’ 116-112 verdict in favour of Vargas certainly seems too wide given the ultra-competitive nature of the fight. Make no mistake, this was a close fight that still divides opinion to this day, but the scoring of the contest is very much open to interpretation. It is simply a case of what each individual scorer of the fight prefers with regards to winning rounds; the more powerful, eye-catching punches of the champion or the accurate and steady work produced by the challenger.

Wright was disappointed and left to reflect on a fight that he felt he ‘‘dominated’’ and ‘‘won’’, but, despite defeat, ‘Winky’ could console himself with the knowledge that his fellow- Americans – Vargas in particular – now knew who he was.

Following this encounter, Vargas would successfully defend his title twice more before being stopped in the twelfth, and final, round of a multiple-knockdown toe-to-toe war with the talented and then unbeaten Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad in December of 2000. ‘Winky’, meanwhile, would go on a 13 fight unbeaten run spanning more than seven years, which included two decision victories over Shane Mosley and a unanimous decision win over Vargas’ conqueror Felix Trinidad, before Bernard Hopkins defeated him in 2007.

On This Day: Felix Trinidad tames Fernando Vargas in epic light-middleweight war


Felix Trinidad and Fernando Vargas engage in unforgettable warfare, writes Matt Christie



1. THE light-middleweight showdown between IBF champion Fernando Vargas and WBA boss Felix Trinidad was loaded with expectation. It took place on December 2, 2000 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and, while previewing the bout, Boxing News editor Claude Abrams compared its importance to the first Sugar Ray Leonard–Thomas Hearns collision.

2. VARGAS was eager to triumph and trained vigorously. There were reports of beaten up sparring partners leaving the 22-year-old’s Big Bear training camp in California because they could not cope with the ferocity. According to reports, future world light-heavyweight champion Glen Johnson was Vargas’ eighth sparring partner.

3. “I HAVE that anger inside because they are saying I’m a kid and this and that,” Vargas, 20-0 (18) explained. “I guess I am a kid but I’ve been whipping these old guys for a long time.”

4. TRINIDAD, 27, came into the bout with more big fight experience and as a narrow favourite. “Vargas is a baby,” the Puerto Rican said. “He can’t beat me. What has he done that makes you think he can beat me? I’ll knock him out and can promise you that.”

5. SUCH chatter was guaranteed to get up the nose of Vargas, whose temper was generally hovering just below boiling point. “How’s he going to knock me out?” he snorted. “What are they going to do – take him into surgery and get him a new jaw? He’s been knocked down six or seven times by fighters not half as good as me.”

6. IN fact, Trinidad – unbeaten in 38 fights – had been forced to get off the floor five times. Each time, of course, he came back to win and each time, the knockdowns occurred in the opening three rounds.

7. VARGAS pre-fight boasts came back to haunt him when he was dropped twice in the opening round. He managed to survive and staged a rally. By the fourth he was back in the contest and sent Trinidad to the mat with a counter left hook. It was a perfect shot, and upon rising at ‘four’ some ringsiders – including Emanuel Steward – thought that Vargas had the power to put Felix away. But the former welterweight champion slammed in a shot south of the border, bought some time, and lost a point.

8. THE American, of Mexican descent, retained control through rounds five and six before Trinidad recovered in the seventh, and stung Vargas with a series of blasts before hammering in another low blow that cost him another point, and granted his rival 30 seconds respite.

9. THE tide, swirling violently in ring centre, turned one way and then the other during the final third. Vargas lost a point for straying below the belt-line himself in the 10th and it seemed Trinidad was the stronger. Vargas gamely repelled defeat for as long as he could – landing a big right at the end of round 11 – but he did not hear the final bell. The Californian was dropped three times in the 12th session, the last time by a chilling right, and it was all over.

10. KEVIN LUESHING, a British fighter who was one of the men to have floored Trinidad, phoned up the Boxing News offices to discuss the savage win. “When Trinidad went to work in the last, it brought back a horrible memory of how he finished me,” said Lueshing. “I was right there in with him again, and it wasn’t nice – brought a shiver down my spine.”
