Vargas to Talk on Thursday With much talk surrounding the lack of a post-fight handshake by Fernando Vargas after his loss to Oscar De La Hoya, Main Events' Carl Moretti has informed MaxBoxing that this was certainly not the intention of 'El Feroz'. Said Moretti, "Immediately after the fight, I was close to Fernando the whole time. He asked me where me Oscar was, but the Nevada Commission doctors asked us to bring him back to the dressing room ASAP for precautionary reasons." Dr. Margaret Goodman verified Moretti's assertions, saying, "I wanted Fernando out of the ring as quickly as possible. It wasn't Fernando's decision. We did what was in the best interest of the fighter medically." Vargas was whisked back to his dressing room and then to a local hospital, where he was later released. He will address the media for the first time since the fight on Thursday. - Gerbasi
