OT-Boxing Vargas v. Bradley

[huskiesnyc]

Heck of a fight on HBO tonight at 10 PM. Both guys have been talking a lot of trash and seem to genuinely dislike each other. They also have styles that make for exciting fights going toe to toe and a lot of heart. Interesting that Vargas is 5'11 and Bradley is 5'6 and they weigh exactly the same 146. I'm throwing a little on Vargas at +300

Unless Bradley gets jerked again like he did with the Chavez "draw", I expect a pretty easy UD win for Bradley. Vargas has never really impressed me.

What a weird ending, Bradley had the fight won easily and then with 20 seconds left Vargas drilled Bradley and had him out on his feet. The geriatric referee thought the 10 second warning was the ending bell for the fight and stopped it. Vargas thought he was saying he is the winner and he celebrated for the next 5 minutes but Bradley is named the winner. Vargas was outboxed but he clearly has a reason to be pissed, the ref completely blew it. Wouldn't be a prizefight without some controversy.

Sucked the way the ref blew it but I think Bradley survives there, Vargas didn't land anything of note after the initial shot and Bradley was already tying him up.

Yeah Bradley won easily and I think he survives in the end anyways without the should be retired refs mistake. In my opinion no need for a rematch.

Agreed.

Bradley definitely won but I thought it was closer than the cards. Vargas was definitely buzzing TB with his jab and there's a reason Tim's face was so messed up.
