The first fight was contracted at light middleweight or 154 lbs and De La Hoya's WBC junior middleweight title was on the line. However, Mayweather would have come in as champion and defend his WBC/The Ring welterweight titles. As a tune-up fight, De La Hoya fought Stephen Forbes (33–6) on May 3, with Floyd Mayweather Sr. as his trainer. De ...
The fight was largely back and forth, with each fighter trading rounds throughout the first six rounds. Vargas was able to bloody De La Hoya's nose after an impressive fifth round; however, De La Hoya stormed back to take rounds six through eight and opened a gash under Vargas' right eye.
The bout set the pay-per-view record for a non-heavyweight fight with 1.4 million ($70 million) buys on HBO and $12.9 million in ticket sales, until it was broken by De La Hoya-Mayweather on May 5, 2007.

Though Chavez was able to continue, he was unable to get any momentum and was dominated by De La Hoya for the remainder of the fight.
In his previous fight on April 12, 1997, Oscar De La Hoya had scored arguably his biggest victory over the number-two ranked pound-for-pound fighter Pernell Whitaker by unanimous decision, capturing Whitaker's WBC welterweight title and becoming a four-division world champion at only 24-years old.
