Reliving....Trinidad vs Vargas!!

[LouIE G]

the low blow timing was questionable. those are bail out blows..

Exactly!

[lebrick]

Exactly!

those are legal though, and smart.. but very dirty..

imagine if every fighter do it instead of just clinching after a KD and the offensive fighter is going for the kill.

What you mean legal, mang??

what i mean is you get penalized for doing it, but not automatic disqualification specially if done for the first time.

this fight is very dear to me.

i was 20 when this happened and alone in california, i watched it by myself and recorded it on vhs. rewatched this fight as many times as i did Predator when i was a little dude living in PR, which was the only english movie we had.

i hated this fight for tito, i felt that vargas was a wonderkid with a great all around game and heart for 2 dudes.

the thing that ABSOLUTELY infuriates me about this fight is one thing, Jay Nady. with his already established penchant for stopping fights early i found it unbelievable that he let 'nando take that punishment in the 12th after that 1st devastating left hook ... i still squint my eyes when i see that last right hand land on vargas, completely depleted but still a warrior.

no joke, i think this fight is what changed me as a punk 20 year old who at the time only rooted for rican fighters to a fan of boxing.

i mean, i still don't know who my fav all time is, MAB or Tito.

Good post man, it really doesn't matter who wins a good fight

Why would it fit an agenda?? did he not have his hands wrapped for the vargas fight?? Is it not possible that if he tried to wrap them like that with hopkins before he got busted, that maybe he was doing it like that possibly his entire career???

Its not hard to connect the dots here... all due respect.

It was just an issue with that particular commission. For instance, the NSAC said they would've been perfectly fine with the way his hands were wrapped. Don't think it was a big issue and even ****m Richardson said it wasn't that serious.

****m Richardson: To me, Trindad's situation was much, much different than Margarito's. What Trindad did was actually legal in some places. It just wasn't legal in New York. I had the rulebook with me right there in my hand.

Trinidad was an abrasion against the rules. Margarito downright had a weapon. There is a difference when you say you're playing chess and have your men lined up differently, as opposed to having extra men on the board. Margarito tried to bring extra men. He had a knuckle pad. Margarito had a strip over the back of his hand, around his thumb and wrist. They told me it was because of a previous injury was why they wrapped it that way. One look and you could tell it wasn't right.
