    IMO that fights is arguably in the top five of best fights in this decade(since 2010) and theres little to no talk about what we witnessed last night, two guys fighting their asses off and leaving a bit of themselves in the ring last night to give us an ATG great war. PPL seem more interested in starting threads with the main purpose of hating fighters, or talking about the **** that is the heavyweight division.

    Lets show these two warriors some love.

    Francisco Vargas and Orlando Salido thank you for the memorable fight you gave us last night, i salute you:freddy .

    Yup it was a truly amazing fight. Will, grit, determination, power, intent, tricks, skill..everything was there. A great Mexican war.

    Vargas needs and deserves a long break, followed by an easy fight, his last two fights were so gruelling.

    Salido deserves big paychecks.

    Oh, hell yes. The tenacity was unreal. They willed themselves beyond ordinary limits. Especially Vargas for going the distance in a war for the first time. He didn't think twice, going into the tenth.

    Wonderful fight, and I'd say it's one of the very best contests to take place ar 130lbs.

    Loved it. Fight of the year so far. Hard to top, but possible. Some people really like the Bradley/Provodnikov fight, and so might not have this in their top 5 if they've seen the fights I highlighted.

    Now you understand why the Mexican fight fans have disowned El Pollo Canelo.!!! Salido & Vargas are two Mexican warriors who gave 110% in the ring Pollo meekly handed over his BOGUS WBC title like the coward he is
