    The bout with Gregario Vargas on 10/15/88 was Efra's last fight in Mexico City before he came to the United States. It was held at the "Area Mexico". The fight was for eight rounds. The referee stopped the fight during round three because Efra was up against the ropes and being punched continuously. Efra wanted to go on with the fight, but the referee insisted on stopping it. Efra states that the referees in Mexico are very careful with the boxers; so that they do not get injured unnecessarily.

    Efra reports that there were two-thousand people attending this fight. The fight took place between 9:00 and 10:00 at night. It was a brisk Fall night. He remembers feeling fine after the fight, with no injuries.
