    Time for Vargas to put the the Backstreet Boy on the canvas a few times...

    Part of me wants Vargas to win and part of me wants De La Hoya to win.

    My gut tells me De La Hoya is going to pick Vargas apart.

    Vargas is going to get destroyed. Trinidad put him down FIVE times.

    Keep in mind he also knocked Trinidad down a couple of times ... something no other fighter had done, and something de la Hoya failed to do, if I remember correctly.

    De La Hoya will probably win but for once I am rooting for Vargas. I guess De La Hoya was a real jerk to him when Fernando idolized him and tried to meet him.

    Rooting for De La Hoya (can't stand loud mouths) but I think Vargas wins. Too much power and ferociousness for Oscar.

    but de la hoya would have beaten trinidad if not for bad advice from his corner. he was well ahead when they told him to run it out and trinidad had nothing.

    I think De La Hoya should win, unless pride takes over and he gets into a slugfest with Vargas. Otherwise, Oscar will probably carve him up from the outside. Does anybody know who is on the undercard?

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Vargas is one of the most overrated boxers of all time. De La Hoya doesn't have the power to knock Vargas out but he does have the skill to completely humiliate that overrated sack of sh ... crap.

    oh, well...

    it's real hard to be an intense fight fan when i have to pay so much to just watch on my own TV at home.

    I wish it wasn't so expensive to watch the fight! I'm going to guess that Oscar will win with his skill and counter punches.
