    I just watched Vargas-Winky fight and it was very interesting to see a young and fresh version of Vargas. I had the fight even, but if there was a winner, it was Winky. It was not a robbery, like much people say.
    But Winky, the same way he did on the Taylor fight, gave away the last round in a close fight, throwing only 25 puches. Merchant had the fight even and Letterman (with a senseless scorecard) had 7-5 to Winky.
    My scorecard was : v(argas)-w(inky)-v-v-w-w-v-w-w-v-w-v
    Did anyone watch this fight ? Do you think it was a robbery ?
    Wasn't it interesting to see a young Vargas and a dumb Winky giving the last round away ?
    By the way, I downloaded it at

    It was a close fight. Just like the Taylor fight, I was ok with it going either way.

    Winky fans love to say he was robbed and are able to get away with it because many people havent seen the fight.

    I just watched and scored the Vargas-Winky fight and I scored it a draw. I didn't find this to be a very difficult fight to score. Vargas won 1,3,4,7,10,12. Winky won 2,5,6,8,9,11. If Winky had jabbed and boxed a bit more (as in rounds 5 and 11) he could have won this fight, but it should have been a draw. The judge that scored it 116-112 Vargas must have been blind. No robbery here and I am a much bigger Winky fan, but the fight is clearly a draw.

    I felt bad for Wink, he won it but they gave it to Vargas.

    He never wanted a piece of Winky after that fight though.

    I scored the fight 7-5 in favour of Wright but a number of rounds were close and a draw wasn't a robbery at all. I can see how anyone could score it even though Vargas didn't really do enough to win in my opinion.

    you guys have to take into account that winky threw his hands in the air during the fight, so that gives him an extra round. Also, Winky gets 2 extra rounds for crying for 5 years after not winning a close fight in which he gives away late rounds. It takes a hell of a fighter to cry for years and avoid rematches.

    No way a robbery but a VERY close fight. I thought Vargas pulled it out but it could have gone either way. But I feel that Vargas was the winner that night by the slimmest of margins. 1 round.

    I think that I had Winky winning by four points. He did give away the last round though.
