Vargas took enough punishment to have 5-10 opponents stopped depending on their toughness
the kid had no quit in him and after this fight and DLH he was never the same.
Had he learned how to defend the left hook a little better and learned when to clinch and win to stand his ground, he could have been one of the greatest junior middleweights of all time.
He did lose to 3 hall of famers and one world champion Mayorga...thats nothing to be ashamed of.
