In Loving Memory

Emmanuel "Pork Chop" Vargas in the ring corner before a bout

He started wrestling at four years old. That's where the name Pork Chop came from.

At eleven he moved to boxing. He was the smallest kid in the gym, and the mightiest.

28 amateur bouts. He always had a crowd cheering him on.

Everyone's favorite little boxer. A little brother to the whole gym.

Champions in life,
just like Manny.

His parents started Vargas Boxing in his memory. Today the Vargas family trains and mentors young boxers to become champions in life, just like Manny.

Forever in our corner.
