Tito had brutal power but he did hit low at important times in the fight.

I've never been as nervous before any fight as before that one. Vargas was young and undefeated... but had this "punk attitude" about him and I wanted so badly for Trinidad to knock that pucker off his lips. He needed to be taken down a few pegs and Felix was the one to do it. I thought it was over in the first round, and me and the gang I had assembled at my house went ballistic in what became a premature celebration. Kudos to Vargas, who hung in there for the whole fight. The place was deathly quiet in the 4th when Trinidad got knocked down... but then again it wasn't like he hadn't visited the canvas before. As the fight neared the 12th, and it seemed like Trinidad had taken over the fight, I wanted a definitive ending SO BAD..... No decision, I wanted knockout. So when Vargas went down from that hellacious left hook in the 12th..... we all went ballistic again. Never have I enjoyed a beatdown as much as this one, although some have come close, such as when Shane Mosley put a major league beatdown on Margacheato.
