Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas
Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas, billed as "Bad Blood", was a professional boxing match contested on September 14, 2002, for De La Hoya's WBC and lineal super welterweight (light–middleweight) championships, Vargas' WBA super welterweight championship, and the vacant ''The Ring'' light–middleweight championship.
==Background==
The long-awaited De La Hoya–Vargas bout had been discussed for years. The fight was highly anticipated as not only were De La Hoya and Vargas two of the top fighters in the sport, they also had a long-going personal feud and openly discussed their hatred for one another. The rivalry was rumored to have stemmed from an incident in which Vargas, while working out at De La Hoya's boxing camp in 1993, supposedly slipped and fell in a snowbank while jogging. When Vargas spotted De La Hoya behind him, he reached out his arm hoping for some help, but De La Hoya simply laughed and continued on, angering Vargas, who held a grudge ever since.〔(De La Hoya-Vargas jogging path tale leaves trail of bad blood ), ''USA Today'' article, 2002-09-12, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕 In June 2001, De La Hoya defeated Javier Castillejo to claim the WBC light–middleweight title, his fifth world title in his fifth different weight class. After De La Hoya's victory and after years of bad-mouthing each other, a fight between him and Vargas looked to finally be set for December 8, 2001, but negotiations fell through in August of that year after De La Hoya withdrew his proposal when the two sides couldn't agree on a deal after two weeks of talks.〔(De La Hoya spurns Vargas ), ''Chicago Tribune'' article, 2001-08-10, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕 Despite their proposed fight in late 2001 falling through, the two sides continued to negotiate for months afterward before they reached an agreement in January 2002 for a May 4 bout.〔(De La Hoya, Vargas Will Meet at Last ), L.A. Times article, 2002-01-10, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕 However, De La Hoya pulled out of the fight a month before it was to take place after sustaining an injury to his left hand, and a week later, the fight was rescheduled for September 14.〔(De La Hoya Pulls Out Of Fight With Vargas ), ''New York Times'' article, 2002-04-05, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕〔(De La Hoya-Vargas Fight Rescheduled ), ''New York Times'' article, 2002-04-13, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕
