00:00 All right, gentlemen, we covered the rules
00:01 in the dressing room, so you know my expectations,
00:04 but as a reminder, watch your heads coming in.
00:06 This looks good, this looks good.
00:08 Let's keep 'em up.
00:10 Touch gloves now, back to your corners.
00:13 This is a fight that was scheduled to take place
00:15 May 20th on the Haney-Loma undercard.
00:19 The Nevada State Athletic Commission
00:20 would not sanction Marquez as Vargas' opponent.
00:26 And Marquez told me, "Look, I think this kid
00:28 didn't want to fight me, and he's gonna have to pay
00:30 because I've been training for him."
00:32 And Vargas, he said, "They're gonna have to pick him up
00:35 in front of his kids and his wife
00:36 because I'm gonna knock him out."
00:39 He gonna walk him into a left hook.
00:40 I'm gonna tell you that right now,
00:41 but I'm gonna tell-- I'm gonna say this also.
00:43 Stop! Hey, listen up!
00:44 Stop. Step back.
00:46 Hey, when I say stop, you listen.
00:48 Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:50 Thank you. Box.
00:52 Marquez is physically strong,
00:55 and he's coming in not allowing the young Vargas
00:59 to establish himself early,
01:01 and he's showing no respect right now.
01:03 He's trying to take him to a place.
01:05 Do you understand? When I say let go,
01:06 I expect you to let go.
01:08 Good.
01:09 He wants to undermine the mentality
01:12 and the fight plan that Vargas comes in with.
01:14 He told me, "Look, he's gonna have to fight a war
01:17 for four complete rounds."
01:19 And you talked about the strength of Marquez Alvarado.
01:22 He's a roofer.
01:24 So you know he's used to working hard.
01:26 Ooh, what a nice right from Vargas!
01:29 And let's see how Marquez Alvarado
01:30 can recover from that right hand
01:32 that stopped him in his tracks.
01:33 Don't pull his head down.
01:35 Oh, you can be aggressive all you want.
01:38 You leave yourself wide open,
01:39 you gonna get caught, and you gonna go to sleeks.
01:42 [crowd shouting]
01:44 Ooh, he caught Vargas coming in with a short left hook.
01:48 Did Alvarado now with a right hand,
01:49 and immediately ties up.
01:51 He's trying to make this a physical fight.
01:53 Yeah, I mean, it's smart.
01:54 Marquez knows that he's not gonna outbox Vargas.
01:57 So he's just--hey, he's pressuring.
01:59 He's trying to keep him off balance,
02:01 trying to attack him, trying to hit him anywhere.
02:03 [crowd shouting]
02:07 Vargas just turned southpaw right now.
02:09 He's told us in the fighter meetings
02:10 that he was sparring the likes of George Cambosa's,
02:14 and he sparred him, I believe it was,
02:16 eight rounds or six to eight rounds
02:18 from the southpaw stance.
02:20 Early on as a kid, he asked his father,
02:22 "Can you teach me to fight southpaw?"
02:24 because he wanted to be better and have different options,
02:28 and he's showing two minutes in
02:30 that he does have the option to turn southpaw
02:32 and be effective,
02:34 although he now turns to the orthodox stance.
02:36 [crowd shouting]
02:39 Punch your way out. Do it.
02:41 [crowd shouting]
02:44 Being a young gun and having to deal
02:46 with this type of pressure right here,
02:48 you gotta keep your composure.
02:51 Right now, you're seeing Vargas,
02:52 he's trying to keep his composure,
02:53 and he's doing the right thing
02:54 by digging down to the body of Marquez
02:57 to weaken him, to try to drain some of that power
03:00 and energy that he's came out with.
03:03 Box.
03:05 Nice counter left from Vargas
03:07 as Alvarado's trying to lunge,
03:08 and there he connects with a nice right to the chin,
03:10 and Vargas has an answer.
03:12 The body shots now doing a lot of the dirty work for Vargas
03:18 as Alvarado once again is stopped in his tracks.
03:21 [crowd shouting]
03:24 Now a right hand from Vargas,
03:25 now standing from the southpaw stance,
03:27 and this is the war that Marquez wanted,
03:30 and Vargas keeping his composure.
03:31 We'll listen in to El Feroz Fernando Vargas.
03:35 You gotta work as a southpaw.
03:37 [speaking Spanish]
03:40 Hey, when you were southpaw,
03:41 you were catching him every time he was coming in.
03:43 He doesn't know how to deal with the southpaw.
03:45 [speaking Spanish]
03:48 Keep using that jab.
03:50 Just keep touching him with the right.
03:53 And you're gonna mess him up.
03:55 Okay, left.
03:57 Just use straight punches.
03:58 Don't stand there with him.
04:00 [speaking Spanish]
04:05 When you throw straight shots,
04:06 that's when you're very effective.
04:08 [speaking Spanish]
04:12 Yeah, straight punch beats a round punch
04:14 nine times out of ten, no doubt about it.
04:17 Here you're gonna see right hand right there from Vargas
04:20 stepping back, creating distance for himself,
04:24 being able to see that right hand
04:25 over the top of the jab of Marquez.
04:29 Round two of a scheduled four-rounder.
04:34 Vargas already wanted to be in a six-round fight.
04:36 He comes out with a leaping right hand,
04:39 and Alvarado felt it,
04:41 but you could see the bravado in the fighter
04:43 who stands just 5'4", but is a firecracker.
04:46 I mean, he is a firecracker, yeah,
04:48 but he gonna continue to eat those shots.
04:49 No, and down goes Marquez, Alvarado,
04:52 off of a combination.
04:53 [crowd cheering]
04:56 Six, seven, eight.
04:59 You okay?
05:00 You can go in.
05:01 Yeah, you can go in.
05:02 Vargas playing to the crowd,
05:04 and that could be dangerous
05:05 if he loses his focus and his composure,
05:09 but he's also enjoying the moment.
05:10 He's enjoying the moment.
05:11 He's not gonna lose his composure at all.
05:15 He has the cheat code.
05:16 He has his father.
05:17 He's seen it all.
05:20 Beautiful set-up right hand from Vargas.
05:24 Nice body work from Vargas.
05:26 Now for the southpaw stance.
05:28 He sets up an overhand right to the chin of Alvarado.
05:32 Vargas is basically saying,
05:36 "If you want it, I'm gonna give it to you."
05:38 You know, Marquez, you gonna come in there
05:40 swinging reckless, leaving yourself exposed like that?
05:43 Why not?
05:44 Oh, and once again, he's got Alvarado on his heels,
05:48 and Vargas continues to land power shots
05:50 from the southpaw stance.
05:52 It's just a matter of time.
05:53 Alvarado is hurt.
05:55 Oh, he's hurt badly,
05:56 but his heart is keeping him in it right now.
05:58 The power shots from the southpaw stance,
06:03 and now Vargas saying, "How strong are you?
06:05 Can you hold me and my weight
06:08 as I come right into the wheelhouse
06:10 and land those body shots?"
06:13 Keep him up!
06:14 That was a low blow from Vargas.
06:16 We see the blood emanating from the nose of his opponent.
06:20 Spit coming out of his mouth,
06:22 and there's a right hand from Vargas,
06:24 a flurry on the inside.
06:25 He sees that the legs of Alvarado are weakening,
06:28 and he's coming right at him.
06:30 And down goes Vargas by Alvarado once again.
06:34 Make your point.
06:36 Five, six, seven, eight.
06:39 Are you okay?
06:41 Would you like to continue?
06:42 [ Laughs ]
06:46 When he spit out the mouthpiece,
06:47 instead of getting himself more time,
06:49 he made the referee in this fight, Joey Chavez,
06:53 the decision of saying, "You're not ready to go,"
06:56 and Emiliano Vargas with the second round
06:59 technical knockout win.
07:01 He's got one-punch knockouts before,
07:03 but, Tim, this was a dominant performance
07:06 from first bout until the end.
07:08 -But, Vishen, man, I'm gonna tell you right now,
07:10 this young man is special.
07:11 You know, to be able to deal with Vargas the way he did,
07:14 weathered the storm early, kept his composure,
07:17 landed his kill shots,
07:18 listened to his father switch his southpaw,
07:20 landing his shots there from that position,
07:23 right side as well.
07:25 He did a little bit of everything tonight.
07:27 Used his legs, came forward when he felt his man weakening.
07:31 First knockdown right here. Check this out.
07:33 Nice. You see him setting up?
07:34 He's getting distance to be able to set up
07:36 to launch that right hand.
07:38 Springboard type of right hand.
07:40 When he saw him step in, boom, right hand.
07:43 Right off that back foot.
07:44 As soon as that back foot hit the ground,
07:46 he threw the right hand right over the top.
07:49 -And then when he taunted him,
07:51 and then this is a second knockdown, Tim.
07:53 -Yeah, just from the brutality that he's been landing
07:57 on his man all night.
07:59 You know, finally caught up with him.
08:00 He was hitting him with kill shots over and over and over,
08:03 weakening him, and he just went down because of that.
08:07 -And there is the proud papa, el feroz Fernando Vargas,
08:11 and the rest of the Vargas clan behind him,
08:14 his other sons, who are also fighters,
08:16 enjoying the performance of Emiliano "El General"
08:20 Fernando Vargas, because, Tim,
08:22 he may be the most talented and hardest working
08:25 of the young brothers.
08:26 They're all good, but that young man's got something special.
08:30 As you see, his brother's proud of El General.
08:33 -You know what it is?
08:34 It's the passion.
08:36 When you have passion for something, man,
08:38 you care about it, you cherish it, you love it,
08:41 and you want to be the best at it.
08:42 In boxing, this young man has been around boxing
08:44 his entire life.
08:46 Understand that.
08:47 When I say he has the cheat code, he has his father,
08:48 so he learns from his father's mistakes.
08:50 Understand that.
08:52 And he's willing to work hard
08:54 to get what he really, truly wants.
08:56 He wants to be a world champion.
08:57 He told us in the fighter meetings,
08:58 he said, "Give me two years.
09:00 I'll be a world champion before I'm 21 years old."
09:03 And with a performance like this,
09:05 I understand the competition, but trust me,
09:07 when you have a guy that's as reckless as this,
09:10 he's dangerous.
09:11 He forces you to make mistakes.
09:13 This young man did not make a mistake.
09:15 He wasn't spooked by anything he did.
09:17 What he did was he kept his composure,
09:19 he landed his shots crisp,
09:21 and ended this match in great fashion.
09:24 -And he forced the stoppage
09:25 to earn his sixth professional win,
09:27 the fifth by stoppage.
09:29 And let's send it up to Mark Chinook
09:31 for the official time.
09:32 -Ladies and gentlemen, here in San Diego,
09:34 and here inside the Desert Diamond Arena,
09:37 referee Joey Chavez calls a stop to this bout
09:39 at 2 minutes, 17 seconds of round number two.
09:44 Declaring your winner by technical knockout,
09:47 El General Emiliano Fernando Vargas.
09:55 -So, Emiliano Fernando Vargas
09:57 continues to make Papa and Mama proud,
10:00 and you see the sportsmanship
10:02 that he and Jorge Luis Alvarado Marquez
10:04 have for one another,
10:05 the respect earned after exchanging punches
10:08 inside the ring.
10:10 And respect is earned when you have
10:12 two Mexican warriors going at it,
