    Lederman has it 4-2 Vargas, and said the match could go either way.

    I'm onboard. Round 7, apparently Vargas & Hovhannisyan both have landed exactly 116 punches, according to Comp-U-Box, according to Lampley.

    Azat took the round off or he's gassing, Vargas landed the cleaner work up top and downstairs, but Azat landed a nice left hook late.

    Ali is like Groves. He has good skills, but you know there's a good chance he's getting KTFO.

    the HBO commentators and Lederman are terrible and biased as hell. Lets hope Hovhannisyan stops Vargas before he gets robbed.

    I like me some Hov. Even if he loses he will always be fun to watch.
