Had to have a look and this day apparently was pretty boring. So far Foreman ko'd Dave Jaco in his comeback oh and Tony Tucker was born. Attached firmly via umbilical cord to Don King

Vargas was the best young up and coming fighter that I have ever seen and got the title quickly.Felt for Vargas after that defeat. He was special indeed and that fight may have taken something out of him.You are correct. Vargas even knocked down Tito. Vargas was special and was on fire during that time.
Tito did low blow Vargas and maybe he had something in that left hook.
Vargas gave Oscar hell as well but lost that fight too.

Hagler v Mugabi! Also on undercard young bantamweight Richie Sandoval had previously knocked down and knocked out the superb champion Jeff Chandler to capture the wba belt but on this night in 1986 he would fight for the last time. Facing Gaby Canizalez, the brother of Orlando, Sandoval came in having to lose about 10 lbs and had not made the 118 weight limit in his last four fights. He would be dropped twice leading into the brutal 7th where he was dropped 3 more times. Each was nastier than the other and he would lay motionless and actually stop breathing for some time. Rushed out on a stretcher he would require emergency surgery and would thankfully make a complete recovery but forced to retire.

Magic fight Dokes at very best and gave Holyfield a great fight. He was in it until the 10th when Evander landed that left hook.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
That was a put a guy on the map type fight for Holyfield. Awesome back and forth. Dokes did great earning what was an elimination shot after time off and his addiction demons getting ahold of him. Sadly though they returned. Top notch hand speed by Dokes too.
