Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas, billed as Bad Blood, was a professional boxing match contested on September 14, 2002, for the WBC, WBA and the vacant The Ring light middleweight championship.

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.

As Vargas was not offering much resistance, the referee stepped in and stopped the fight at 1:48, giving De La Hoya the victory by technical knockout.
