01:15second please fighter chief sec mouthpiece peace all right gentlemen to receive the
01:23instructions in the dressing room know what i expect good clean fight legal punches here
01:28for you legal punches here for you test gloves go to both of you larry fires is an eight-year
01:34pro he's going to try to test the metal of the young emiliano fernando el general vargas 11 and
01:400 with nine knockouts the story of larry fryer september 11th of last year got hit by a car when
01:46he was doing his road work was left for dead in a hit and run car accident he survived had
01:52four surgeries since left eye left elbow left wrist and right knee for meniscus and cartilage
01:58damage he survived the police officer said the only reason you survived is because you were in
02:03great shape he asked the police officer so this guy who left me for dead gets a misdemeanor after
02:11the accident what happens if i show up at his front door and punch him in the face he says you
02:16get jail time says what if i run him off the road says don't tell me that this is the guy you have
02:22in the ring tonight he is fearless yeah he definitely is fearless he don't need to be
02:28because emiliano already is starting to use some lateral movement to set up his offense
02:33especially down to the body you saw that left hook and inside slip left hook
02:38miliano has a full arsenal no punch yes he's still developing he's still honing his skills
02:44as he's moving through these ranks slowly however great slip counters counters good
02:50step back counters as well very active with his counter punching in defense you see the pressure
02:57that flyers promised he was gonna put on the young vargas he said i'm gonna put my head in his chest
03:02and let's see how he handles that and so far vargas behind the jab doing good work and using
03:07his legs look sometimes you got to look past the obvious the obvious thing is is that you know top
03:12rank is high on this young man you know he's showing that he had great punching power great
03:17movement great technique yada yada yada yada friars is saying i'm tougher i'm gonna beat in
03:23his chest i'm gonna beat on him i'm gonna hit him more than he's going to hit me or at least he's
03:28gonna try to attempt that tonight straight right hands there from vargas who now is making friars
03:35go backward nice uppercut from emiliano vargas as far as has to hold on left hook
03:44kicking him apart as friars plan is going out the window early on
03:49thanks to the southpaw stance now of emiliano vargas
03:54miliata vargas is having fun inside that ring right now switching southpaw to orthodox
03:59again still being responsible defensively when he's landed those left hands on the outside
04:04he was off the line of fire for anything to come back at him just like they're getting underneath
04:09that shot right there good defense great responsibility with this offense and defense
04:14together nice right hand as far as trying to close the gap vargas that did an overhand right
04:21and discipline fires with the jab and another right that wobbles the legs of the irishman
04:28he's showing a lot of heart here in the early going you see
04:31emiliano's mother in the stands everyone is happy she's been through the ups and downs
04:39her husband fernando vargas became the youngest champ at 21 years 105 days old the
04:45goal for emiliano is to beat that record and to become prospect of the year the fighting
04:50blood runs through the largest veins
04:59he wasn't there for most of it what he can't remember though he knows in his bones
05:07the greatest of highs the pitiless lows most fighters fight so the kids won't have to
05:16most fighter's sons know better than to tempt their fates in boxing but these guys are different
05:25my father's there every step of the way so i'm looking to make him proud it's not the family
05:30business so much as a caller good beautiful i would never try to be like my father my father
05:36is a one-on-one i would never try to be that at the end of the day i'm me tonight the youngest
05:43of fernando vargas's three sons and just maybe the best the one they call the general
05:50now it's time for me to show the world what el general is about
05:57tim a lot of times the name opens up doors but it's also a heavy burden to carry
06:03you're absolutely right but the young man is carrying it very well
06:07um you can see his performance right now you know friars is not giving much resistance he's
06:13trying to close the distance however it's like he's been here before it's like you know when
06:19he was in his mother's womb and then she was watching his father fight and he was hearing
06:24all the noise he's ready for this moment and that's the reason why he's on this stage at 20
06:29years old emiliano took his first steps in corpus christi as his father was getting ready to step
06:35into the ring one of his last fights as a pro and he says i don't remember much about his career
06:42probably better for him to not remember the final stages of fernando's career but he does remember
06:47how to go to the body and land the right uppercut because it's ingrained in his dna there's another
06:54liver shot that's how that's how you break down your opposition right there you get them used to
06:59body shots you start to zap his energy take his legs and then eventually the head shot will open
07:06up every now and then friars is sneaking past the guards of miliano he's timing them either
07:14with the right hand occasionally and also a jab he's gonna have to do more of that
07:21that's exactly what he needs to do again let those hands go
07:25something will eventually land vargas is punishing the body
07:2934 year old is coming off of four surgeries 15 months away from the ring
07:35a miracle he's walking much less fighting a young prospect
07:39nice straight shot from vargas catches fires coming in
07:45look it looks pretty easy for vargas right now right but he can't afford to get too complacent
07:51at all you got to stay responsible defensively i mean earlier during the show
07:55we saw alan garcia get knocked out along the ropes it was somewhat complacency yes but it
08:02was a mistake the young man vargas can't afford that you know fryer has everything
08:06to gain nothing to lose so he has to be cautious in there with his approach
08:12look like the pace is kind of settled that settled down now both fighters
08:18you see the skills of vargas setting the tone in terms of
08:21what range the fight is going to be contested at taking away the best weapon of friars which is
08:28that tenacity in close range i think his corner told him take your time man why are you rushing
08:34me oh you got eight rounds to work take your time take your time take your time
08:40you got eight rounds to work take your time slowly break this guy down show your skills
08:45show the world your skills eventually you're going to get the prize
08:4910 seconds nice left uppercut again vargas hurts fires up against the ropes and triple quadruple
08:57uppercut requires to take a shot yes he can but he is wobbling back to that corner
09:04let's listen in to the former world champion fernando vargas and the father
09:09of the video
09:30again when you have the opposition along the ropes what you got to do is you got
09:33to bite and get bite down you got them pinned on those ropes keep them on those ropes work
09:37that hands work both hands you see vargas right here just getting quick work take advantage of
09:43the positioning of friars just leaning forward square it up along the ropes with those uppercuts
09:50some good work right there from the young man vargas
09:57i love it
10:04oh
10:08mouthpiece stay back see the competitiveness from fernando vargas but always
10:16taking care of his son because defense first he's encouraging absolutely but he's also giving
10:21him the instructions on how to take care of himself every time he steps out there you have
10:25defense defense defense you know i look at a fighter's defense and i can tell you right away
10:30is he gonna be something or not i mean offensively yes office can be a defense yes it can however
10:37your defense because if you can't take punches like like friars taking punches you can't take
10:43those type of shots you don't last long in the business absolutely not and you can just just
10:48finding a home right on the chin of larry fires now the body overhand left and it's just a plethora
10:56of perfectly placed punches from vargas as he lands the left again he's spamming the uppercuts
11:02right over the middle he can't miss with it fires is leaning forward you see when he even jabs
11:06he's leaning forward as well fires needed to pay for that antivirus so he wouldn't get spam
11:16i think he was never taught
11:20but he's there he's game look at he's coming back with his offense anytime
11:23anytime there's low points and that's what veterans do they take advantage of any low
11:28points in your office when you're trying to rest and recover you saw vargas throw about
11:3210 10 to 12 punches now he's trying to reset himself he rejuvenate himself even though
11:39you're recovering tim it still takes something out of you it does that many shots absolutely
11:46and the young man is still learning how to manage a fight
11:48right manage the energy he just spends a ton of energy right there now he's trying to rest
11:55however it would serve him great if he just got on his jam there he goes and tear up that
12:02nose which is already bleeding oh now he's getting comfortable now he's starting to walk
12:08friars down friars is looking for that right hand to the solo my gosh and that sets up the
12:12shots to the head and downstairs once again from the mediano bodyguards but larry friars
12:17he's going to fire back
12:34bryce is still still there remaining solid remaining tough although he's taking a beating
12:42physically as well however the lack of skill you can see the skill difference in both fighters
12:47in athletic ability
13:12Emiliano Vargas gets caught there by a left hand from Larry Friars he is
13:17a live dog in there tonight got a ton of heart
13:22mark and you told us a story about Larry Friars and why he does this
13:42all right we'll get back to mark tell us the story of Larry Friars we listen into Andrew's shot
14:01and referee Raul Caiz jr just said that the cut was caused by a punch so
14:09I think good referee work there from Raul Caiz jr
14:21welcome in everyone who saw Stanford defeat Syracuse college football action welcome to
14:27top-ranked boxing on ESPN from Glendale Arizona inside the Desert Diamond Arena Bernardo Osuna
14:34alongside the hall of famer Timothy Bradley in the ring Emiliano El General Fernando Vargas that
14:40name may sound familiar yes he is the son of the former world champion Fernando Elferoz Vargas
14:47he's in the southpaw stance taking on Ireland Larry Friars joined him in the back man who's
14:53been out of the ring for 15 months overcame four surgeries to be here tonight and he says
14:59I'm hungrier than ever and I'm going to put this kid to the test oh what a liver shot there
15:04from Emiliano Vargas oh did you see that right hand get pinned to the side right quick real quick
15:12well-placed body shot right there from the young phenom
15:21again it looks like Vargas is just taking his time he's not in any rush right now he's just
15:27taking his time systematically breaking down Friars little by little each round he should
15:31start picking it up more and more each round fourth fight of 2024 for this young undefeated
15:37prospect looking for his 12th victory as a pro nine of his first 11 wins came by way of stoppage
15:44and he is systematically putting in work on lethal Larry Friars there's a nice stiff jab making sure
15:53Friars knows that to cross that threshold there's going to be a jab in his face
15:57a little bit too much head honey for me with Friars I mean if you want to
16:02hit the largest target it's the body you want to hit the body because then you start to zap
16:06the young man's energy you start taking his power away and then he starts to sit in front
16:10of you once you take those legs away with hitting them down to the body nice right uppercut from
16:16Emiliano Vargas Friars walking backwards this is not where he wants to be against Emiliano Vargas
16:22the ropes are his enemy as much as the fist of Vargas are as he continues to dig to the solar
16:27plexus yep that's what I was going to say Friars need to look wow my god he lift him off his feet
16:34with that one yes bargains like that outside slip left hand down the middle oh my god there's a
16:47combination there it is you see referee Raul Caiz Jr. on top of the action ready to step in look at
16:53Friars fighting back though that's what you have to do Tim bring it up a little if you do your job
16:58the referee won't have to do his no you're absolutely right and if you let your hands go
17:01you can deflect some of those shots but if you don't you're just going to eat them oh what a
17:06shot to the body from Emiliano Vargas gave him Bambi legs right there with that shot
17:11great action here in Glendale Arizona if you are watching us on ESPN news we invite you to move
17:21over to ESPN after this break we'll be on the ESPN oh my goodness
17:41so
18:11so
18:31Larry Friars says I do this for my children Mark Kriegel
18:35talked to us about that story well his own manager told him after four surgeries what do you want to
18:40fight this young star for he goes it's because what I do give me the contract I said but what
18:44did you tell your wife and your four kids I said this is what daddy does and that's what corners
18:50do he says I'm giving you one more chance and you shot because you can't save this guy from his own
18:54heart absolutely no doubt the heart of an Irishman Larry Friars comes to fight he's already overcome
19:01so much outside of the ring alcoholism and an injury after an accident that saw four surgeries
19:08did Emiliano Vargas just hurt his hand there Tim that's what I was looking at I didn't like what I
19:13saw just a second ago I mean he backed off he backed off real quick and it might be his right
19:18hand let's see if he uses it he's just using the jab right now and that could change the fight
19:23dramatically although his left hand has been his best hand but a one-handed fighter against a
19:28pressure fighter I think he hit the head wrong yep stop no punch I'm here that happens box you
19:35have a fighter that has a hard head absolutely oh did he throw that right hand just a second ago
19:40lightly but yeah he's definitely favoring his left side
19:48I don't know Friars has enough wherewithal to understand that the hand is hurt
19:54it doesn't matter if the right is hurt and the referee says it the fight is over
20:00Emiliano El General Fernando Vargas when it looked like the tide was turned instead
20:10one hand and two hands as long as the left is there I'm good that's right you know I'm gonna
20:15give it up to Friars I mean he took a beating and he lasted this long you know what heart what guts
20:22with determination you can just see the fight-and-flight system you know as his legs were
20:27shaking he's saying I know I don't want to go anywhere you know he held him as long as he can
20:32the referee said I've seen enough you know decent I would say good performance by Vargas good
20:40performance he took his time he placed his shots extremely well great combinations the only the
20:47only thing that I would say is all the switches man like I get it it looks fancy and all that and
20:55you you're doing it at this level but you got to be careful doing at the highest level because you
21:01can get time right between those switches you know and you don't want to get your defense mixed up as
21:06well because that's that's that happens and we saw that again earlier in the Alan Garcia fight
21:11all right Tim let's take a look at how this fight came to an end the corner and the referee
21:16told Larry Friars we're going to keep an eye on you and this is a prompt check this out right here
21:21oh it's a nice meal right there go ahead give me go ahead and take that barbecue sauce right there
21:25on the ribs and just stepped on the angle here he is right in front of him flick the jab at him
21:32you see him in position dig down to the body all right I'm gonna work the other side now boom
21:40Friar missed with a shot and he just filled the hole right there with the left hand right down
21:44across right down the middle boom nice little angle right there Friars never saw that punch coming
21:53again that's in the midst of fire that's in the midst of firepower coming back at you
22:01being able to time those shots in between and that's the punches of prior immediately that's
22:05great stuff saying this fight is done I mean I think it we all we criticize when the corners
22:11and the referee don't do their job this is an example of the corner working with the referee
22:15to protect the fighter from himself Larry Friars would have got up 10 times and kept going
22:21if they allowed it fortunately they didn't well when it's done right that's what you get
22:27you know he gets to go home with his family nice paycheck he did enough and gave enough resistance
22:33good job Friars you did your job tonight showcase fight for the young Amelia Vargas he did very well
22:39tonight earned his 10th knockout win in 12 victories Mark Shinoda with the time of the
22:43stopping ladies and gentlemen here inside Desert Diamond Arena Glendale Arizona this belt comes
22:49to a conclusion at one minute 23 seconds of round number five for your winner by technical knockout
