Fighters who were never the same after losing once

[ElTerribleMorales]

Fernando Vargas.Tito took his soul and I'm not one for 'what ifs' but i still say Fernando was turning it around untill a succession of low blows stole his legs .
That is still the best fight in living memory for me but the beating Fernando took at the end of such a gruelling fight and at such a young age , no way he could have recovered.

honestly i agree with you that Vargas could have been something great, but i don't think the low blows were intentional same as in the Cotto/Judah fight

First of all, there was one low blow not a "succession." Second, the reason the fight went on so long was because after Vargas knockdown of Trinidad and Tito's subsequent low blow, Vargas thumbed Trinidad, severely limiting Tito's vision for the rest of the fight. That occurred in the fifth round, if I am not mistaken. Just check a video of the fight.

there were 2 low blows, one he got a warning and the 2nd he got a point deducted, and the thumb was also unintentional cause first off they were using gloves with the thumbs sown attached to the golve, just a mishap

Tito intentionally hit Vargas low after the knockdown to buy himself some time! Watch the fight without being biased and you will see that I am right.


Low blow!!!!!

and don't start with that bullshit against, the gap from the 2nd low blow to the final round was plenty of time for Vargas to get his legs back, and they weren't intentional same as in Cotto/Judah, Trinidad always had the tendency to shoot the left hook, and more than a couple times he'd hit low, but never looked like it was on purpose, on that note Tito was never really the same after his loss to B-Hop
