Overall great fight even better than i expected one of the fights of the year Mayorga was actually backing away from Vargas and outboxing him in some rounds which was surprising because i thought Vargas would be the one doing that not Mayorga i think Mayorga still has alot left in the tank.
It was an entertaining fight but really not a fight of the year contender. It could have been though.

Two of the cards were too close. Mayorga was the busier fighter AND he scored the 2 knockdowns. That makes it quite a decisive win. A draw is absurd.

Mayorga did look quite good and I thought he did well considering it was way outside what he should be fighting at. It must be remembered that Vargas hasnt been at his best for a good while now and this time out lacked stamina and was sporting some kind of rubber ring around his belly. Its no surprise that Mayorga won this really. He possibly has something left but its not possible to judge that fully against this incarnation of Vargas. I want to see Mayorga back at 154 and challenging for a belt. He wont go to 147 at this stage in his career.
