That was a tremendous under the radar type fight for a green Winky v Vasquez. He was a pup and a huge step up. He def showed there he was going to be something top notch. Have always thought at least 2 of those KDs were dodgy and slips from exhaustion. Likewise Vazquez looked to be dropped in the 2nd or 3rd and was a non call. Good little scrap that with Wright showing true grit, lucky to make it out of the 9th! Always thought he beat Vargas in a close one.
Agreed with Vasquez fight, he was a big puncher and shows you how great Pernell was to go up weight and beat him.

I thought Vargas beat him in a close fight.
