Fernando Vargas talking down on De la Hoya at press conference

On January 16, 2002 Fernando Vargas and Oscar de la Hoya
met at a press conference in Los Angeles to promote their
fight on May 4th (which was postponed later to September 14, 2002) and couldn't hide their hatred for one another. The fight was titled Bad Blood for a reason.

[@Jman76]

Vargas got his ass beat, loved every second of it!!!

[@BigAsDiecast]

I loved every nano second of it. There's a Spanish saying that says. Cae mas rapido un hablador que un cojo. Translation. A trash talker falls faster than a one legged man. Look what happened. Not only did Oscar beat the crap out of a steroid ass Fernando Vargas, which is public record. You can fact check it yourselves. Fernando's career went down hill after he got owned by Oscar De La Hoya, and you haters can take that to the bank! In your faces! HELL YEAH!!! 👊💯

[@Compachinito11]

Sadly, this is the only good person he beat, and u Can take that in ur face hater! And U def a de la coca fanboy I do not see a ass whooping Vargas took, the fight was very close until Vargas got knocked down and unfourtanetly that flurry of punches de la puta threw, were hitting Vargas gloves😂😂😂 He just stopped it becsuse Vargas wasnt throwing it back so shut up and quit dick riding de la coca

[@SuperJmgonzales]

@BigAsDiecast The Trinidad Fight ruined Varags, Oscar was getting beat around the ring for the first 6 rounds. Fernando never had the speed like Oscar to be elite but he had heart like no other.

[@jerrydeloza9915]

I couldn't disagree more! The man you saw Oscar become in the 3rd 4th round that slowly started to take over as the fight progressed was all Alcázar. Now the man that was getting tagged rds. 1, 2 and some of 3 was all Floyd Sr. Ask any fighter, any "real fighter" you'll always regress back to what comes natural when your getting tagged and that's what Oscar did. On his toes, jabbing and boxing his ass off! Not saying he didn't learn alot from Floyd Sr. cause he did and Oscar's always said such it just wasn't the right style against Vargas and Oscar almost paid the price trying it.
