In 2018, during a podcast interview primarily focused on his 2002 fight against De La Hoya but also touching on what happened against Trinidad, Vargas admitted, “I only remember bits and pieces of the fight. On the way to the hospital, after the fight, I was in the ambulance with my [future] wife. And I asked my wife, I was in and out, in and out, so, I go, ‘Baby, did it look bad, when I went down?’ She goes, ‘You got up every time.’ I said, ‘What the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean I got up every time?’ … I didn’t know that I got knocked down five times.”
