    Comments Thread For: Photo: De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas Reunite in Indio

    Former career rivals Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas were reunited at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. De La Hoya's company, Golden Boy Promotions, was staging a Fox Sports 1 televised card at the venue. During his career, Vargas eagerly pursued a showdown with De La Hoya. He finally got his wish in 2002. They clashed at the Mandalay Bay in a unification for the WBC/WBA junior middleweight titles. Vargas started strong but faded down the stretch and was knocked out in the eleventh. At the time of the stoppage, De La Hoya was winning a very close split decision on the official cards.

        Man these guys really hated each other back in the day.

        Anyone know where I can watch the press conference leading up to their fight? Youtube search brought up nothing.

          Too bad Vargas was on PEDs to ruin the credibility of the fight...

          They could have a rematch at Cruiserweight based on that photo... js...

            The build up to this fight was classic as was the end result of the fight itself.

                If you search Simbros' fight thread for their careers I believe he has the HBO build up to the fight. Watched it like a week ago

                  Is Vargas trying to act hard in that pic or is he still mad about the KO loss to the Golden Boy?

                    Didn't ruin the credibility of the KO for Oscar, made it look even better for him. 0scar knocke out Vargas while Vargas was on steroids.
