After Miguel Berchelt and his coach, Alfredo Caballero, claimed that Saturday's fight could be Francisco Vargas' last in the professional ranks, the 'Bandido' simply replied that both the champion and his team will have to eat their words, because he is ready to leave everything in the ring in search of revenge.
Vargas will try to recover his crown at the Convention Center of Tucson, Arizona.
He lost the super featherweight title of the World Boxing Council when Berchelt knocked him out by 11 rounds in January 2017.
Vargas also accepted that the contest of January 2017 was not his night, and that this time he arrives ready to give everything.
"I do not really care what they say, if they want to talk, they talk, I like to talk in the ring. I'm coming to do my job and not listen to what he or his team says. It's going to be a great fight, a tough fight, I hope everything goes well, and those who are talking will have to eat their words," said Vargas to ESPN Deportes
Vargas indicated that for this fight, he worked a little more in the aspect of defense, but above all he comes in confident that this time the cuts will not be a problem in the battle, as they were in the first one.
"We've gotten much better, I have had a good preparation, we really trained hard. We know we have a tough fight and we have to reach a hundred percent," said the Mexican Olympian of Beijing 2008.
"The cuts, I've been resting, I hope it's not problem. It was really the work we did with Joel (Díaz), that's what motivated me, we worked more on defense, but not an extraordinary adjustment. In the first fight the cuts complicated everything, it was not my night. We are now better prepared and we know that there is nothing written in stone and we are going to come in there with a lot of enthusiasm."
