This was the one and only toughest fight in his young career , to me it was to soon cuz vargas took a beating he was thrown in to the ring with a fighter that had more experience and have had fought top notch opponents, this fight right here solidified VARGAS career down the road fighting tougher and bigger opponents like Oscar and TRINIDAD , young vargas was a warrior no doubt thats why he is one of my favorite boxer of all times and i dont have many.
@AAWGASHTADS ,,,, yeah vargas was fighting a lot of demons bro he done a lot to himslef to wanting to become great. Nevertheless the man is a warrior in my books .
Exacto bro, esta hermosa época de grandes guerreros, que se entregaban totalmente pir orgullo propio, y no como ahora que solo son bailarines y lo hacen por dinero.
What a thrilling fight! 🔥 Both Fernando Vargas and Ike Quartey gave an incredible performance, displaying relentless energy and unmatched skill. The punches were powerful, and the stamina from both fighters was truly impressive. Vargas’s left hook in the third round was especially remarkable. Much respect to both fighters from Saudi Arabia. What are your thoughts on the match? 🤔
I watched a lot of boxing around that time, but I never saw this fight, not sure why. The De La Hoya fights against both of these guys were very good fights, as well.
Ike made me like him, his record is outstanding, however he is overlooked, underated and buried in anonymity. He deserves better treatment and recognition, he was a devastating warrior.
Vargas was a fan favourite type fighter because he would fight anyone, doesn’t matter they where more skilled or not he would get in there & give 110% every time win /lose/ or draw . This era of fighters were not worried about protecting their 0’s 🥊💯.
@@oracleelectronica Oscar actually beat Felix, but Oscar running for the last three rounds gave the fight to Felix. That night, Oscar was the better fighter, he just didn't fight until the 12th.
@@oracleelectronica I don't agree with that. Oscar out-boxed Felix for 9 rounds, and he was making it look easy. Then he decided to get on his bicycle for the last three rounds, and that's why the judges gave it to Felix. I watched it live, and that is what many of us saw happen.
This is the fight that destroyed Fernando. Though he KOed Thompson in his next fight but he was obviously not the same. He was more cautious, more calculating, less confident, less aggressive. If Fernando fought Trinidad before fighting Quartey the outcome could have been different.
Vargas passou um sufoco contra esse bom lutador Yke Quartey. Uma luta emocionante... e mais uma "pedreira" na vida do Fernando Vargas. Parabéns, Vargas!! Tremenda vitória e com a torcida quase toda contra ti. 🎉
This Vargas level of boxing even though he wasn’t the top level from Oscar , Floyd , Mosley at that time You don’t see these type of fights today Now the level of boxing has decreased , not only that but the opponents they fight are weak asf We won’t never get this type of level fights today in this era Specially this often These guys fought from top level to top level after top level on and on and on. Win loose or draw Today fighters fight one guy that’s top level and that’s it They are considered p4p and they don’t fight no more big fights like this anymore
Sick of this bull crap Ike can't fight for shit. He throw punches like an angry female. Vargas born in USA he went to boxing school. American boxers are the best. The most trained.
Two of my favorite fighters! They weren’t afraid of blemishing their records but wanted to fight the best! Much respect to them both
😢ujj😢😢😢😢 j

It would have been better if Vargas wasn't Juiced vs De La Hoya .

This is when boxing was great. When boxing was actually boxing and not a spectacle. Long live the legends. And these two are definitely legends 💪🥊☺️💞
Am proud of our Ghanaian champion.Pound for pound at its best.
You should be Ike was a hell of a fighter.
But y'all don't live there how come if it's so great?
FRANCIS Ngannou!
@williamtehero8720 ma'am y'all don't live there why is that
Proud of Vargas !!!!
I miss fights like this😢😮
Me too, when HBO Boxing ended legendary boxing ended.
We will never see them again
👊🏽👊🏽….. true
None no more
Exacto bro, esta hermosa época de grandes guerreros, que se entregaban totalmente pir orgullo propio, y no como ahora que solo son bailarines y lo hacen por dinero.
Whats more impressive is how feroz was only 21 years old with quartey,campas,winky already on his young record.
quality ' modern boxing ' but an old school fight ' reminded me of the 70s & 80s style of fighting ' brilliant thanks for reminding me 👍
the good ole days!! HBO sports
One helluva fight. Super respect for both warriors. Grats to the winner, Vargas.
These are fights not like the clown fights of today .
Golden Age of Boxing!! Fought Everyone in Prime!
I was thinking the same thing. The fighters of this era were built different!
This was a very talent rich era of boxing. They had wars but had great technique, form, accuracy & power!!! Love it!
Best fights ever ,every round every second
Great fight indeed. Thanks.

What year was this fight ?
They should of had a rematch 😢
Great fight. This is what we call boxing. You are running like Usain Bolt in the ring. Very exciting fight years ago.
I watched a lot of boxing around that time, but I never saw this fight, not sure why. The De La Hoya fights against both of these guys were very good fights, as well.
At 6" someone close to the ringside going"fire, fire, fire.. " non stop had me it stitches 😅
En este magnífico combate,los dos merecieron ganar.Pero creo que un empate era lo justo.
Great video. And NO music…peace
Vargas could throw a punch wow.
Young Vargas was very good
Ike made me like him, his record is outstanding, however he is overlooked, underated and buried in anonymity. He deserves better treatment and recognition, he was a devastating warrior.
Oscar De Lahoya is the best between them..

@@oracleelectronicaOscar won clearly no doubt. If You know about boxing You know who won 🎉
@@oracleelectronicamaybe Your puerto rican thats why You think trinidad won 😂
Tough test for Vargas which he passed with colors. Ike Quartey never been KO-ed great champion. Great fight.
A Sido la segunda pelea más brutal después de la de vs Trinidad de Vargas q mas me encantó....
Two text booked fighters of A - Calibred give us A + performance. What the hell of a Fight. Just Forget Canelo the Ducker Alvarez.
When 2 fighters of the about same boxing skills share the ring, we ll watch a good fight.
This is the fight that destroyed Fernando. Though he KOed Thompson in his next fight but he was obviously not the same. He was more cautious, more calculating, less confident, less aggressive. If Fernando fought Trinidad before fighting Quartey the outcome could have been different.
Wow fantastic
Vargas loved them low blow uppercuts
Esas eran buenas peleas y este boricua aposto por vargas esa noche y no me equivoqué, ese vargas era un gallos bueno
Fantastic

Que buena partida de cara le dierón a Vargas.
Ike Bazooka quartey was a good champion he is one of my favorite fighter
Great fight in my opinion it should have been a draw 🤔🤦🏽♂️
Quartey was a Supreme Champion
Quartey didn't have power at 154lbs. Like he did at 147lbs. That is why Vargas was able to seem stronger, dominant, and could take Ike's punches.
Ike out here lookin like Russell Westbrook.....😂!!!!!!
Then they want to say he was to young for Tito 🤦
Looking at the thumbnail I thought Ike Quatery was Sticky Fingaz. 😂😅
How old Ike Quartey ?
Just like this generation of boxers 🥴
A young fit and trim Fernando Vargas was a formidable opponent for any in the division....
This Vargas level of boxing even though he wasn’t the top level from Oscar , Floyd , Mosley at that time
You don’t see these type of fights today
Now the level of boxing has decreased , not only that but the opponents they fight are weak asf
We won’t never get this type of level fights today in this era
Specially this often
These guys fought from top level to top level after top level on and on and on. Win loose or draw
Today fighters fight one guy that’s top level and that’s it
They are considered p4p and they don’t fight no more big fights like this anymore
The endurance of Vargas and his high volume of punches came from his youth. He wasn't that good.
Vargas throws a right, follows it up with 2 low blows.
Está pelea tiene 25 años y asta ahora la publica este
Fernando was cold. I have his autographed card.
Did anyone notice Mike Tyson in Vargas corner in the very beginning
IkE Quartey is the Ghanaian greatest fighter(boxer) in world history.
Ike would be a unified chamption in todays welterweight era
Ike was bout that action. I remember those fights on Tuesday night fights before he made it big.
Bring back HBO Boxing After Dark w Jim Lampley.
El mero Chingon de la Colonial Chiques
And then came Tito to straighten this mess out !!
Great fight
No te engolosines Vargas cuidado con una sorpresa
Chingon Vargas el mejor de los mexicanos
WTF????
No mameeeeee !!!!!
2 warriors
Vargas very open that is why he always hit
Definitely a great battle 👌 Hats Off PEOPLE 👏 👍 🙌
I like ike quartey, he got should wins againt oscar
111-116, clearly the African guy got robbed. This was a draw!!!!
All of Vargas' sons put together don't have the talent Fernando had.
Esa pelea trinidad vargas, debió el árbitro descalificar a tito,asi ablando al mexicano,sino el mexicano hubiera ganado
1:43
Amazing boxing
Classjic fight
Quartey Was one of few Black boxers that was not a runner, the mayority of them Are runners.
This is the only good fighter Fernando beat. he was a tiny bit above average fighter
Winky Wright.
el loran vargas
I would like to see sissy fighter Mayweather against either one of these two,
Dont think he would last two rounds,
But before that fight I would love to see you fight Mayweather and then we can declare who is the sissy. Wimp
They would get out outclassed
Que agarron jejen
Sick of this bull crap Ike can't fight for shit. He throw punches like an angry female. Vargas born in USA he went to boxing school. American boxers are the best. The most trained.
Talk is cheap u get in the ring
Quartey won
IQ was robbed but he should’ve expected it and boxed like a butterfly.
Bazooka was robbed!
Vargas was on steroids
Vargas oky
Grabe to dalawang fighters. You cannot see this anymore in this era
Fue algo raro que ganará fue un gran perdedor con los buenos , hasta el loco Mayorga le dió guante.
Mejor Que tu definitivamente! 😅
Tu madre 😂
Y gual que el papa siempre para delante y malos para la defensa
What ???? This nga from Africa with blonde hair???WTF??? Vargas put it on blck blonde
2 Savage fighter I ever seen in my life
