Not sure what the question exactly was...thought it was a scoring issue.

Anywho...sorry for butting in with half assed info...but here's me take.

The scores were bullshit & HBO was pushing to market Vargas (Vegas White Tiger & all) & not Wright...totally the wrong decision.

I hate this fight because Wright did win the match...fan of his or not...right is right & wrong is wrong.

Total Punch Stats
Wright : 34%
Vargas : 35%

Power punches
Vargas: 39%
Wright: 37%

The judges had it at 116-112, 115-113, & then 114-114...which I could have lived with.


Total bullshit...sorry...but it was. I'm a huge supporter of compu-box...but anyone that saw the match can say that Vargas was outmatched & Wright was on point. Should have been a draw at the least. Sorry but Wright won the match. Merchant was all over Vargas's jock from start to finish.

Wright was not an HBO fighter at the time & Vargas was being groomed. This is very similar to the Taylor Syndrome.

Sorry peeps...I'm being unbiased whether or not you want to think so...Wright won.

wacko im sorry if i missed something but that shows vargas landed higher percentage so how does that prove wright won ?? sorry if i missed something just never seen fight
ICB...I know that you watch boxing...I know that you have seen shitty decisions before...I know you know what effective aggression is.

Wright put a hurtin on Vargas. It was a fight. It was a shitty shitty decision. If you read the stats...then I know you saw the scores too.

One judge pulled it at a draw. That's how close the fight was...not sure if you saw the fight or not. This thread is about contro fights...trust me...this one was controversial to the end.

They brought Vargas in with the famous "ferocious" aurra going on & alongside the famous Vegas White Tiger...Vargas was lauded as the next Oscar...he had the fight won before he climbed through the ropes.

Watch the fight & you can see how close it was...& why it is controversial.

Also...I aint trying to be as catty as that sounded...Wacko's on some serious pain killers for the back pains right now...I apologize...but until you sit down & see it for yourself...that's that.

It's opinion...but Wright won.
