Just rewatching Trinidad vs Vargas.

[IMDAZED]

The low blow isn't why Vargas lost. It wasn't like Tito was so stunned and, actually, Vargas won the next few rounds. Trinidad was simply too relentless that night--he boxed well and his power punches were ridiculous.

Tito's power punches were crazy in this fight.


To think Vargas was only 24 when he fought Oscar...........

Actually Vargas was coming on strong right before the low blows came into play. I'm not making excuses and think Trinidad would still have a better chance of winning but it is what it is....

Well I agree. He was coming on strong. Check that--he DID come ons trong. It's not like the low blow messed him up. Vargas had his best rounds after the low blow.

Reguardless, it was a great fight and I think if Vargas would have been manged better, he could have been a real player in that division.

I hate to say it but most Mexican fighters aren't handled very well. They are thrown into the fire early on and it has hurt a lot of good young Mexican prospects.

Hell of a fight!

Vargas was also relentless, getting up twice from consecutive knockdowns in the first round and eventually knocking Tito down in the 4th, eventually succumbing to a murderous finisher in the 12th.

Great win for Tito!

I don't know if that's always true (Campas & Chavez are two opposites to that) but you're right about Vargas. Tito was simply too much at this stage. had he been maneuvered right, he may have ended up better than all of them. Hard to believe he gave Oscar as many problems as he did, especially considering how terrible he looked after Tito (Rivera and the sparring partner he fought).

The fight there ruined Vargas....

Would his career had been any different had he not had that fight who knows
