In a rematch of a great fight five months ago, "Sugar" Shane Mosely and "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas go toe to toe tonight on pay per view. Which of these former champs will emerge victorious, and line themself up for another big ticket fight? Swerbs Blurbs resident fight doctor Scott Swerbinsky is here to tell you. Live tonight from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas we get to see a rematch of two of the biggest names in the sport. Fernando Vargas looks to avenge his earlier loss to Sugar Shane Mosley.

It was just five months ago when these former champs went toe to toe. In what was a very entertaining fight, Mosley won by TKO due to Vargas’s eye swelling shut. It was one of the ugliest looking eyes I have seen in awhile.

Despite the eye, Fernando was still pushing the action in the first fight, and was willing to trade with the quicker Mosley. Shane got off to a much quicker start and used those super quick hands of his to continue to do damage. Vargas has the heart of a lion and protested the stoppage of the fight. Anyone that could see his eye had no problem with the decision.

Vargas gets his shot at revenge this evening and states that tonight will be much different. If he picks up his pace in the first three rounds or so, I think he can get that win he is looking for. Mosley will try to combat the power of Vargas with speed and counter-punching. The overhand right was the money punch for him last time and I’m sure we will see that many times.

These two champions are very entertaining to watch and I see the rematch living up to the hype. I have a feeling this one will turn into a back yard brawl and he just might see the Fernando Vargas of old. He will look to take Mosley off his game early and make him pay with big shots.

There are already talks of a Jermain Taylor vs Fernando Vargas fight if he was to win tonight. I see him getting the victory but possibly setting up the trilogy.

Tune in tonight and see for yourself, I know I will.
