Emiliano Vargas today traded words in social media with a lightweight weight rival Ernesto Mercado.
Emiliano Vargas: Jealousy accusations
Famous Fernando Varga’s son Emiliano (15-0, 13 Kos), who has a great deal of attention, has accused Mercado (17-0, 16 Kos) of his drivers of the highest level of jealous attention from the attention he receives from fans and media.
Ideally, Emiliano would agree to fight Ernesto Mercado so they can settle the beef inside the ring. The highest rank is unlikely to take this opportunity. Emiliano is a money earner of the future, and they care for him in the same way they did Edgar Berlang and are currently doing it with Xander Zayas. This means that there are no heavy battles if the result is not 100% secured by the Vargas prematurely.
Amateur Accreditation Data: Mercado’s Edge
Vargas, 21, said that people do not know who has been advertised in Tito Mercado, 23, and that this is the only way fans to learn about him. In a way, Emiliano is true. Mercado has not given the same huge advertising direction by his promoter Eddie Hern, whose highest rank has given Emiliano.
Hairn has so many big words on his play list that he doesn’t have time to advertise them just as Top Rank does it with Emiliano Vargas. Ernesto Mercado is an incredible talent with much better amateur accreditation than Vargas, but Herner does not give him the same advertising pressure.
We see the same with the 2020 Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruise. He is also raised by the game room. Cruz is widely considered the best fighter in the light division, looking at many people, it is a much better talent than Shakur Stevenson. Herner rarely mentions Andy. Hairn has too many talented fighters and he is the main guy who talks about the game room.
The poor dude no one wants to see how you fight. I don’t even have a belt and you know this is your money fight. 🤣 This is your only way people know who you are. Continue watching I win. #lilboy https://t.co/o5HBWRX2al

“Money struggle? Dam, you are really mistaken, I think it’s all an act 😂. It’s sad that you think you are a star, I’m embarrassed about you, mijo🤦️KEPE, living with your father’s name, it’s the only one that is good for you,” said Eneresto Mercado Unhinderedin response to Emiliano.
Does that boy really just said he was the best 140 pound fighter in the world? 🤨 #Trash

Mercado is likely to destroy Emiliano because he has better talents and basics. Vargas is more like a chip at the old block, fighting like his dad Fernando. Once in the future there is a better degree against someone, he will be exposed.
