    6-6. I could see it for Winky - just. But i don't feel Vargas lost the fight and definitely fought the championship rounds like they should be. Wright gave away this fight and the Taylor one by coasting in the 12th. You never coast when you are the challenger in a close fight.

    Big Winky fan but I thought Vargas came on and seemed to want it more but I thought a draw would have been more correct.
    I never understood why Vargas was put on the Davey Moore fast success track as he eventually paid for that.
