Reliving....Trinidad vs Vargas!!

[LouIE G]

I really liked Vargas but he bit off more than he could chew with Tito. His handlers rushed him way too quickly and his lifestyle wasn't as disciplined as it should have been (he looked so out of shape against Wright, for instance). It's a shame because I thought he had a great shot to beat Oscar if the Tito fight hadn't occurred.

Yeah i agree. Tito just had way too much experiance for vargas....the de la hoya/vargas fight was bad ass too, it just looked really bad when vargas tested positive... there was nothing i can say to defend him on that. Unfortunately.

I like Fernando a lot as well and there really no shame in his performance. He had heart, bravado, skill, and balls all tapered with his trademark ferocity. But he just was defeated by a better fighter that night. The only thing Fernando did was be Fernando from beginning to end.

By the way, this is one of my all time favorite fights. Too bad there aren't enough Trinidad's and Vargas's to go around in today's boxing era. The sport thus far would be in a different place taken to a whole new level.
