I thought Wright outboxed Vargas through the first 9 rounds, and I had him up 3 points heading to the 10th. However, Wright let Vargas completely outwork and outhustle him over the final three, and that allowed Vargas to salvage a draw on my scorecard. This was a good example of the heart of Vargas, who dug himself out of a hole in the late rounds against an older and more experienced fighter.
