I keep hearing people say Jesse Vargas didn't deserve the decision. The kid outworked Lopez in almost every round and outlanded him. I know you guys like the more effective punches over here which is cool and alll, but Lopez didn't land nearly enough to win. And there's a reason for it. He couldn't get past the jab and movement of Vargas. He almost shut him out in the late rounds. Even with the point deduction I still had Vargas ahead. All of the boxing blogs did too...
Is he ready for Khan? Hell no. He'd get destroyed in 6 rounds. But he has a lot to learn at this point in his career. Not everyone's gifted enough to become great as early as Khan has. This was a good learning experience for Vargas. He needs to continue fighting guys at Lopez's level such as Mauricio Harrera, Provodnikov (if he gets by Harrera this time), Victor Cayo, etc.
Jesse Vargas sounds like a girls name.

Its not as bad as Ashley Theopane...lol
he won?wat u talkin about
People here, along with Dan Rafael are saying Lopez got robbed. I don't see how Lopez could have possibly won that fight at all. It was a clear victory for Vargas. I was shocked by the fact that it was a split decision instead of a UD.
