HBO To Rebroadcast Vargas-Quartey, Mosley-De La Hoya

[ProBox1]

On Saturday night, Feb. 18 at 12:30 a.m. (ET/PT) and replaying Friday, Feb. 24 at 10:45 p.m. (ET/PT) and Saturday, Feb. 25 at 3:15 p.m. (ET/PT), HBO2 will replay VARGAS vs. QUARTEY 2000 and DE LA HOYA vs. MOSLEY I, 2000. The Vargas-Quartey fight was waged on April 15, 2000 in Las Vegas and was a thrilling slugfest between Fernando Vargas and Ike Quartey in which Vargas was the welterweight victor. The first De La Hoya-Mosley fight was a dramatic battle from the first bell to the last, and featured the fast-rising “Sugar” Shane Mosley in a stirring split decision victory over Oscar De La Hoya on June 17, 2000 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

This is great...I wish HBO would do this with alot of the older fights they have aired...why shouldnt they replay Barerra vs. McKinney etc.?

[RAESAAD]

I am glad too these are two fights I am glad to record and have.

Yeah, even though i'm not hyped much for the upcoming fight, it'll be nice to watch this older fights. thumbs up HBO

Sweet move. I doubt many people remember Vargas kicking Quartey's ass.

I like Vargas and I just think it sucks that he didn't have a career-defining victory, he had two chances and lost both of them. That is why they're showing the Quartey fight instead.

I had the Quartey-vargas fight pretty close form what I remember. I did have Fernando winning it though. Its a good fight. Mosley's performance against Oscar in the first fight was unreal. I'd take that version of Mosley over Mayweather today and I mean that as the highest of praise as Floyd is the best P4P in the world today
