vargas beat wright? how is that even possible?

I thought Winky won it but they gave it to Vargas because he was suppose to be the next big thing in boxing.

 

I dont think that is why they gave it to Vargas you can make a case for either guy, anybody who scored that fight objectively could tell you that.

 

I thought it was a close fight no robbery by any means. I scored it 7-5 Winky but I think the judges were influenced by the hype that Vargas was getting at the time. In other words it was better for boxing if Vargas won than if Wright did.

 

:good

I agree. People act like the Vargas in his 2nd fight with Mosley is an accurate depiction of what he always was.

That 2nd Mosley fight was his only one sided loss and he only lost to legit all time greats.

I thought he beat Wright based on how strongly he closed the show. Roger Bloodworth should have gotten trainer of the decade for squeezing that kind of effort out of a distracted, unmotivated Vargas.

Had Vargas taken Winky seriously at that point in time, I feel it would have been a one sided Vargas win.

 

Hmmmm....


CLOSE FIGHT.

 

Well you've got to see it to believe it buddy . . . that fight is already history . . . so go ahead and watch it.

 

What ever happened to Vargas, didn't he win a belt at 21 or something like that. It seems that his career ended before it began, plus didn't he have back problems; something with his spine? was that the cause of his quick downfall?

 

He won 14 consecutive fights since turning PRO in 1997. In his 15th fight at the age of 21 he won the IBF Light Middle Weight Title. He won a string of another five fights which includes victory over Winky and Ike Quartey.
On his 20th fight on Dec 2, 2000, he fought a unification fight with the WBA LMW Champ Trinidad and lost his first fight. He won another 2 K.O. victories after that and challenge De La Hoya for the WBC and WBA LMW titles in 2002 and lost again. In 2006 he lost twice to Mosley.

Spine problem? ON that I'm not sure and familliar.

 

The legal problems distracted his career also.

 

I like Vargas but Winky got robbed.

 

When exactly was fernando vargas in him prime? In his close fight with Wright? MOST people thought Wright won that fight.

 

Close fight.

 

it was much like the taylor fight.winky fought him close and it was toe to toe.but i thought it was clear that winky won.i mean the fight was close but it still was easy to see who got or should have got the victory.

winky was robbed in the vargas and taylor fights, he beat them at the own game, never running up in the face and he was given the bad end of the deals both times.

 

Again, Wright is highly overrated.

 

Winky Wright is overrated and Vargas is underrated. That is about the extent of it.
