    I remember scoring it 115-113 for Winky. I haven't watched it in years, I remember it was an entertaining bout.

    Vargas had a lot of exciting, grueling bouts in a short period of time: Wright, Quartey, Trinidad, DLH.

    It was a competitive fight, but I think Winky was too active for Fernando. Fernando did have a late comeback in the later rounds, but it could of been a draw to be fair. Winky should of got the decision. Great performance by Winky. Despite being outgunned, not being the powerpuncher Vargas was, Winky just let it all hang out and was fearless when he opened up from his shell. That fight was a precursor of things to come for Winky.

    yea i just got done watching it, i mean, vargas MAY have won 5 rounds and that is REALLY stretching it, wright dictated the pace, and yea i just got done watching it, and i watched both wright and vargas individually in that fight so i would have a better analysis of the fight, and i think winky won it

    I am a HUGE fan of both guys. I had it 114-114. I don't think a 115-113 score is wrong for either guy. Close fight, great fight.

    I'd like to add if anyone should have won, it was Winky.

    I thought Vargas came on strong in the championship rounds and did enought to earn a draw.

    Each guy won 2 of the championship rounds, so neither had a "stronger" finish. The best I could see for Vargas is a draw, giving him every close round.

    Had Winky winning 9 rounds to 3. No way in hell did Vargas deserve to win. Winky schooled his one dimensional burrito eating ass.
