People hate on Oscar and clown him all the time but no one can deny that he was a great Champion.
Exactly. Much less last 2 rounds with him
He was a true boxer.
IDK about them clowns. This dude is a 10 time world champ in 6 weight divisions with no catch weight at all. Fought everyone and best in the division in their prime. Never ducked a fight. Got robbed a couple of times specially on the mosley rematch when vegas punked his ass. Haters still gonna hate cus that's what they only knew and so best😩🤣
He would’ve beat Floyd in his prime from activity and points.
No le gano a nadie en su prime. Perdio con Trinidad, Mosley (2 veces), Floyd, Hopkins, Paquiao.
This fight will always be a special one for me. My wife had told me that afternoon that she was pregnant and I celebrated that night by watching this classic. Was a great time ❤
What a memory! 🍾
That’s awesome
Thanks fellas 😉
@@JohnnyButtons Happy to oblige bud!
Great memories and belated congrats. Lol. I was in my best friends basement with his father and and amazing dog. We would watch all the fights there no matter what. For almost 20 years(85-05) Sadly, all three of them are now gone. It pains me daily. RIP boys.
This is how badass Oscar De La Hoya is, after the fight Vargas tested positive for steroids and Oscar STILL kicked his ass.
😆 omg bro jaezuus H. settle down sunshine. I'm really surprised you don't have sores all over your mouth and @#$ from riding de La Hoya so hard and deep.. duuuude 😂
Facts
It was miniscule the amount of Steroids but regardless it doesn't help you be a better boxer
He looked like he was on something with that 6 pack
@@stiffjabzz4237 His physique looked great but weight lifting and steroids are actually counter productive in boxing because all that extra muscle doesn’t carry over well in the late rounds.
One of my fave fights because a lot of people thought Oscar wasn’t “Mexican enough” or as tough as Vargas. He put that to rest real quick.
Yep I remember that , Oscar was awesome
Yeah Oscar was supposedly too white to beat Fernando LOL. Oscar beat the hell out of Fernando and Vargas was cheating on steroids big time. What a loser excuse maker Vargas is. I have no respect for him on top of all what he talked about Oscar he claimed Tito had loaded gloves because he got the hell knocked out of him. Fernando is a delusional punk.
WHAT MAKES VARGAS MORE “MEXICAN” IF THEY BOTH WERE BORN IN AMERICA 🇺🇸
Vargas beat him bro
What ' s fave 🤭
Oscar is a legend and is still in the game being a top level promoter. Respect 💯
Oscar’s jab and footwork was beautiful to watch. That left hook too!
I’m Mexican and grew up in TX. Big fan of De La Hoya.
Me2
I'm a whit guy from Brooklyn NY and was always a fan of Oscar and Fernando.
This a tribute I made for Oscar
m.ua-cam.com/video/hrhnKT8Dn-Y/v-deo.html
"De la Casuela" is another way of saying it ask any Mexican
The white boys were always pulling for Oscar in all his fights also 💪
Remember watching this with grandpa. Miss these times
"De la Casuela" is another way of saying it ask any Mexican
I remember this fight like it was yesterday. This defeat had all the little gangsters in their feels. 😂
Hahahaha
I watched this fight with a bunch of Cholos rooting for Vargas.They hated Oscar because he didn't act gangster but they respected him after the fight.
This is the first boxing match I ever watched. My Dad said this will be a good one, and it truly was.
What makes this fight so amazing the how unbiased the commentators were. You don’t get that anymore
One of De la Hoya's best wins... and a great fight.. Feroz was on the juice too..
How you now that Varga was juice 🤔 did you see 👀 him
@@juliodiaz4493 he tested positive after the fight
@@southpawtv6499 o he did a men crazy the juice didn't help him that why he came out like that trying too kill him
@@southpawtv6499 when Vargas he fight Trinidad that was a good fight too
@@juliodiaz4493 post fight positive test.
THIS fight and Oscar v Majorga are two of our favorite Golden Boy moments.
Oscar vs. Mayorga and Manny Pac. vs. Antonio "the teeyouwanna tornado" Margarittle. Are two of the greatest beatdowns in boxing. Manny could have stopped Margarittle early but chose to humiliate him by beating him ugly.
My favorite fight was De La Hoya vs Mayweather 😈😈
Oscar vs Ike Quartey was my favorite
@@darrinturner4958 That was a badass fight
Same
Floyd Sr is one of the best trainers of all time. What a great time for boxing 🥊
my ABSOLUTE favorite fight of all time
Mine too!
Really? There are so many better ones though.
You need to see more fights
That was a masterpiece! The jab to the stomach then head was constant… but I love how delahoya saved his weapons for different stages of the fight in a way where Vargas couldn’t adjust… mid fight he broke out the right hand then switched and brought out the left hook so late in the fight Vargas had no answer to a new wrinkle so late in the fight… wow
Oscar is a natural southpaw that learned to fight orthodox. Opponents don’t know if it’s a straight right or left hook. He has power in both hands and Vargas found out the hard way.
He never had power in his right bro it was respectable at best but I get your point
Man how composed is he with his commentary. Class act
This was sober Oscar
Oscar was an exceptional boxer period ..all the slack he gets today as a promoter...but theres no denying he was the Golden Boy of Boxing 🥊
He was the Golden Boy of boxing who clearly loss to an old Pernell Whitaker...
@paddington Lets not exagerate. Oscar was the Golden Boy because he won Gold in the Olympics, not because he was incredible. He lost several times.
One of the most beautiful combinations you’ll ever see at the end of the 11th round
Vargas had his best moments when Oscar was on the ropes. Oscar had his best moments when the fight was in the middle of the ring. Very entertaining fight between two guys that never ducked anyone.
This was real boxing!
Unified champion from east LA. It feels and sounds just as good as it did the day they announced it live.
Mosely tested positive in the first fight too!!! Delahoya a beast!!!!🔥🇲🇽
Oscar never cried about it. He took loses like a true man. Hes from East Los. Chauuu
And in the second fight Mosley cheated but victor conte helped him beat the test using designer steroids that could beat the test. Now Victor Conte owns snacs and consults VADA and has fighters like Terrance Crawford and Devin Haney as clients
@@jayflow2713 Mosley denies it but it was proven in court by Victor Conte's own mouth not only that Mosley new what he was taking but also that he took the real shit to fight De La Hoya.
The Golden Boy!!! True champion.
Amazing fight much respect for Oscar 👏
Is this the perfect Oscar de la Hoya fight?
The 11th round TKO says yes!
I miss true boxing and all the past greats
When i was a kid this was the fights that everyone wanted to see. And if i recall correctly they had a actual fight before this in the street lol
Great fight! Oscar really fired it up towards the end!
That fast stiff LH jab and hook were just beautiful!
This fight displayed oscars warrior spirit
Back when boxing was good.
The way that left hook corkscrewed into Vargas’ face…there was a lot of torq in that baby.
Yea it opened up vargas under the eye that was his revenge for the cut vargas gave to him and then took him out
One of my favorite boxers overall the Golden boy
That left hook was so fast
A lot of people didn't like de la Hoya. They said he was a pretty boy. I always liked him. He was a tough talented boxer and he didn't hide from anyone.
I did, too. But now I can’t stand him. He’s a passive aggressive promoter that destroyed his stable of fighters.
@@LobotomyMeatthey destroyed themselves 😂 going to pbc
Óscar is a great promoter his a pioneer then everyone started coping him like Mayweather promotion canelo promotion etcétera! Be nice trolls 😈
De La Hoya here moves like Floyd, Jr.
That was Floyd Mayweather Sr who hugged and lifted him up after the fight.
Oscar was using the Philly defense Mayweather's are known for
Yeah I seen a little bit of that.
To bad it wasn't mastered vs. Floyd mayweather jr, you have to use a different fight plan for that fight.
And beat Mayweather…
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808he didn’t beat Mayweather 😂
To me and many other people around the world even mayweather father said Oscar de la Hoya one the fight !
That left hook was beautifully timed. That's how you end a fight too. Got them hurt? then get them out of there
Epic win for Oscar & one of my favorite fights. Oscar was up against a bigger, stronger Vargas on steroids & kicked his ass!
Brilliant fight by de la hoya ! Great to watch!!!
Is good to see two mexican American showing respect to the mexican flag!!!viva México cabrones!la raza!
💪🏻🇲🇽 MY GOLDEN BOY 👏🏻👏🏻
I love this fight, excellent boxing by Oscar a nd Vargas was on PEDS
It’s a few years since I last watched this fight. It’s an absolute scorcher!
Warrior spirits in all these guys that stand up and go toe to toe with a world class fighter. Win or lose, they are warriors.
Great fight 👏
I still have this newspaper ❤ fav fight
De La Fishnets jab was so incredible
Lol hahahaha
BRAVO OSCAR, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!
The interview at the end tells you how likeable a guy Oscsr is. He didnt bad mouth anyone and kept his answers very professionally even he didnt like a guy. Look at the answers he addressed about and Trinidad. Thr most marketable fighter ever. Had patches on his shorts of MetRx, McDonalds and Budweiser. Unbelievable. A class fighter.
No
Yeah he cried like a b*tch when he lost to Moseley the 2nd time and threatened to launch an investigation into the fight 🤣 Yet no such investigation was threatened when he got his ass beat by Pernell Whitaker and Felix Sturm and was gifted decisions in those fights.
He’s a really smart guy. He understands the idea of a brand. He built a boxing empire based on his brand.
Is great to always listen to all your past experiences in this sport,I started in the early 70’s and always keep a lot of good memories.
Vargas did steroids JUST to get KOd😂
He also did roids in his fight against Tito Trinidad
@@80srocknroller Let's not act like Trinidad didn't have his hands wrapped illegally either
@@mongoslade277 Right! That's why they're not accepting the reality of Tito Trinidad defeating both De La Hoya and Vargas because those two fights immortalized him
@@mongoslade277 🧢
@@mongoslade277 facts
Not the biggest fan of Oscar the person but def the boxer. Deserves more respect and appreciation from fans of the sport. Never ducked anyone.
U must not like cocaine
Óscar is a great person he helped and continues helping a lot of people in Los Ángeles and around the world and he helps people with cancer in his hospital name in honor of his mother .And Oscar donates a lot of money to charities to help people in need,great human being lots of heart❤ and a Great boxer Champion of east LA legend forever !!!
De La Hoya was a smart fighter. It seemed like he figured out Vargas by the 4th round.
He did. It was take Vargas to the center box feints and don't go to ropes because vargas stronger
How time flies…I was at this fight in Vegas and it’s crazy to think it was over 20yrs ago.
A big fight in vegas is the greatest show on Earth by a lot…the energy of the entire Strip is incredible on fight night…
thats dope bro, you got to watch two aztecs warriors go to battle..nothing like the boxing of today
Oscar will always be my favorite boxer of all time. Viva Golden Boy De La Hoya 🏅🥊
BULL SHIT,, FELIZ ( TITO ) TRINIDAD WAS HIS PAPAAA...💩💩💩💩💩💩😖💩☠💩😓🖕🖕🖕💪✊👄👅🦿🦶👶👶👶👶🥊🥊🥊🥊🎱🥋🥅🪡🧶🧵🧶🪡🧶📪💶🪚🪚🪚.
@@robertofrivera5409 didn’t ask buddy. Also learn how to use emojis. And last Golden Boy will always be the goat. Stay mad 😂 Oscar Dela Hoya 39-6 (also known as the man who dominated Felix so hard until the 10th round the judges had to give Felix the decision so he didn’t off himself that night due to embarrassment)
I've seen this fight 200 times but never from these different camera angles.
Vargas underestimated Oscar; blatant mistake.Oscar was a great champion.
He was too young
Vargas did not. DLH is a supreme boxer over FV. Also remember DLH was a 130 fighter so his hand speed is much faster than FV too. I like FV, but Trinidad beat the lights out of him at 22. FV was rushed in his career, but also, the $$$ presented to him and his managers too, they jumped on it.
One of my favorite fighter D L J, watching from Philippines
The loudest one's are the weakest one's remember this everyday 😅
Iwas 16 yrs old when this bout took place and i watched down at the horseshoe where my sister was the bartender lol i was the cook and man that place was hopping standing room only...i miss those good times now, i moved away from my home town due to all the drug use...small town living just doesnt seem to have that same magic it once held...anyway God bless
The beatdown that never gets old.
These were fights, not like canelos fights and most fighters now
What a Classic! Historic fight!
I like how Oscar gets away with wearing the championship belt the whole fight. “That cups a touch high” 😆😆😆😆
Beat a dude pumped up on roids too.
OSKAR DE LA HOYA
GENTLEMAN!
CRACK!
El orgullo de su padre Joel de la Hoya de Durango y de Su madre la sra Cecilia Padilla de Obregón México.
The #1
De La Hoya was a beast.
One of my favorite fights..2 tough Mexican warriors without a doubt. Total respect for any boxer stepping into the ring and just banging..
He shut him up real good, great fight. Pride of East Los.
This is one of the best fights for me growing up cos I was always teased as a 'pretty boy sissy' and looking 'like a chick' and I was always bullied and pushed around by the rougher looking kids and I was forced to fight when I never wanted to and I won and I knew what disrespect Oscar went through in his life too and this fight was almost exactly what I dealt with and what I did when I'd finally stand up for myself and Vargas personified the bullies I knew and I was soooo happy Oscar showed that it is not nice to be jealous of someone and use that to hurt them. Like me he gave the bully a beating.... ( I'm over six feet tall and was always fast and then became a Thai boxer who travelled the country and then even around Europe , especially Holland, to fight so never judge a book by it's cover). Vargas found out. He turned out to be a guy I liked but at the end of the day he hated De La Hoya for all the wrong reasons and he was humiliated despite even being a drug cheat which makes this victory sweeter. I knew Oscar was the better man. That's my story of this fight and I know other people will understand what I mean.
Forget the fight! If you weren’t old enough to be in Vegas in those years you missed out! It will never be the same! After cellphones it all went down hill
why does oscar kinda looks like mexican version of adin ross lol
He was off the yayoo 😭😂
Lol does he say “pick me up” when Floyd goes to hug him.
Strong !!! Oscar de la Hoya !!!
Bravo bravo 👏 ése es nuestro Óscar así queríamos que le dieras hasta para llevar felicidades Óscar
Mad that Vargas failed a drug test after this one.
And he failed another one after he lost his unification fight against Tito
The funniest thing is Vargas claims till this day that Tito had his gloves loaded because Tito beat the hell out of him for 12 rounds and then knocked him out. Vargas is a punk!
@@msw8966 Trindad had illegal wraps. Bernard Hopkins team exposed that. Trinidad was never again the same fighter
This fight never gets old to watch..... Didn't hear Vargus talking shit after the fight... Clown
Good stoppage of a great fight! Speed man, speed.
Oscar didn't duck anybody at any weight class. He fought all the best fighters of his time, and always gave us fantastic performances. One of the greatest fighters ever in my book.
And now Say Garcia is doing the same thing it took Ryan to fight tank to finally make Spence fight Crawford fighters just don’t do what de la Hoya and Mosley did in the 90s and 2000s
A guy could beat most everybody with Oscars left hand alone, lol. Serious weapon. Snappy hard jab and vicious ko hook. And can go anywhere with either. Was a pleasure to watch him box. He shut a lot of tough guys up! Legend status I think.
Pernell Whitaker made Oscar miss with 10 punches in a row. An old, way past his prime Pernell toyed with Oscar. Mocked him.
Every De la Hoya fight was a must see. He didn't duck any fkg body. He was also robbed in the Tito and Mayweather fights. Definitely one of the all time greats
The side affects of steroids are that you can still receive a ass whooping 😂
That finish was like rocky 3.
This was De la Hoya greatest win, fight, and performance!
“That’s the way I fight….” 😂
I watched this fight live on HBO and now it's April 2024 as I watch this video and Vargas has three boys of his own that box and one who is on his way to stardom in the boxing world. Some of my old favorites have boys that are fighting now and doing well, Kostya Tszyu's boys Tim and Nikita, and Ricky Hatton has a son Campbell who is doing well. It's exciting to see a new generation making their way.
Oscar mostro la categoria de un boxeador grande como lo fue el un gladiador....
Ferocious/the Aztec warrior vs The Golden Boy two of my favorite boxers fighting each other I didn't like it but I knew they would eventually clash it had to happen and I knew it would be a good fight 🥊🥊
The Vargas boys need one of these lessons
That left hook was so quick, u can hardly see him throw it!
Kathy Duva bottom right 33:54 lol she's like oh shit he's kicking my fighters ass 😂
Round 1….Vargas has him against the ropes “Da La Hoya is in trouble here, Vargas is just unloading on him!” *like 2 punches of 12 land….*
OSCAR DE LA OYA MI BOXEADOR FAVORITO Y SOY BORICUA PERO SOY REALISTA
33:20 still remember this little daze by vargas when i was a kid
People thinking Canelo in the same league as prime Dela Hoya are crazy
Different weight classes man Canelo hurts DLH

Nice win Oscar De La Hoya 👏
Vargas was a tough fighter it looked
like he was winning in the beginning of the fight but Oscar
was fast with his hands. that one him the fight.
I think this was Oscar at his finest
