I never saw this fight. At the time nither of them was of any big significance. But I just wonder. Was Winky really robbed or was Vargas that good at the time.
I just can't figure out how does Vargas have a win over Wright.
What are your thoughts on this?
Personally...I say that Winky won the fight.
HBO was really REALLY pushing Vargas at the time & it was a close fight. Wright fought a bit differently then as he does now...he was more in your face than he has been in his last two or three fights & he surely didn't fight like he did against Mosley.
Wright won, IWO, but it was a close one.
If anything...shoulda been a draw.
It was a very very close fight...IMO it was a draw but.....If Winky got the dec we could be having the topic on this with Vargas name instead
Sometime I wonder what would've happend if Winky had won that fight. At that time would he beat Trinidad? Would he have fought Hopkins before? Would Vargas be known?
I guess in the end none of this matters....

As is often pointed out,you want the guys belt,best not let it be close
When I first saw it,I had WInky winning but I don't think it was a robbery. Vargas did really well to bring Winky's arms down,by banging to the body. I really enjoyed the fight.
Simple copy and paste job, always does the trick.Quote:

I scored the fight a draw. I thought Winky built up a 6-3 lead, but he let Vargas outwork him the last 3 rounds.
Lot of credit goes to Vargas, he was young but found the will to outfight Winky in the championship rounds.
I had Wright winning, I could not believe they gave it to Vargas!
I had Winky winning it too. Strange but Winky jumped on Vargas, was agressive in that fight, not his norm at all.

I believe a person by the name of Don King was Vargas's promoter at the time...Quote:

Wright let Vargas take the last couple of rounds in a close fight. He really ain't got nobody to blame but himself
