Mike, Well, I was wrong about the fight. Good thing I didn't bet. I definitely would have taken 2-1 (the final odds) on Vargas if I had a way to get a bet in. Everyone knows how multi-skilled Tito is, but I was amazed at his quick start. He's a known slow starter. He hurt Vargas badly 15 seconds into the fight. Vargas was beyond courageous in coming back and putting Tito down later in the fight. I think Vargas fought the "wrong" fight. The way to beat Trinidad was demonstrated by both Oscar De La Hoya and David Reid (for 6 rounds). You have to move a lot, not let him get set to punch, and outbox him. Vargas has the required skills. He just didn't use them. He stood right in front of Tito and traded - big disaster. They are both great fighters. I hope they are both OK. Tough way to make a living. Not sure why I love such a brutal sport. I guess boxing tests human athletic ability, skill, courage, and heart like no other sport. It makes taking the buzzer shot or getting up to bat with 2 out in the 9th look like wienie stuff. Wayne
