    :lol:

    You're so dramatic.

    What did Vargas in was his back problems.

    LOL. You're acting like Vargas was born with the footspeed of Ray Leonard.

    Vargas had good footwork, but he wasn't quick on his feet like say, DLH was.

    That had nothing to do with experience.

    Vargas just wasn't blessed with fleet footwork.

    Vargas had really good footwork. Above average. He was a boxer puncher, and was being compared to DLH style wise.

    Vargas skill gets underrated because of the DLH fight where he tries to out muscle and out brawl DLH.. But he was a boxer puncher first, and his best success came when he used his boxer puncher style.

    My point is..... Vargas wasn't hard to find, no matter HOW he fought. Experience wasn't gonna change that. Dude just wasn't blessed with top reflexes, or footspeed.

    What's being VERY underrated is how QUICK and rangy Tito was!

    I have seen him being interviewed by Ellie Seckback a few times and he doesn't sound particulary bad. I'll watch the 12 round of Vargas/Trinidad now.

    Tito caught Vargas cold...It happenes all the time.. It happened to Canelo, to Marquez, hell it happened to Tito often.

    Vargas had very good reflexes. It took Tito 4 low blows to finally catch Vargas again in the 12th round.

    Vargas didn't endure a 12 round beating. He got KD twice in the first, made it competitive as hell through the 10th, and finally couldn't move around much and finally got caught in the 12th round.

    Oscar De La Hoya also didn't hurt Vargas until the end of the 10th round. Why? Because Vargas had good defense.

    It wasn't untill his back was all ****ed up, and he was in too much pain to be in shape that he looked terrible against Mosley II and Mayorga.

    Watch the entire fight. It was a pretty even fight untill the 11th.

    LMAO!

    I think YOU'RE the one who needs to re-watch the fight.

    Tito was CLEARLY ahead of the fight coming into the 11th and 12th.

    It was NOT an even fighting into the last round. Everybody watching knew that Nando needed a KO to win. Only it was he that got KO'd.
