The pick of Julio Cesar Chavez over Ivan Robinson (on another website) was an easy one. But not being a fan of the old timer’s tour, I decided that I’d pick Rafael Marquez to stop Ricardo Vargas.
As predicted, Vargas was game to the end, and his solid chin was questioned only one time, when Marquez put him to the canvas late in the bout. So it was a decision, albeit an easy one, instead of a knockout. But Rafael won easily.
Two big fights next weekend, in Manchester, UK, when on Saturday, on Showtime, Scott Harrison 23-2-2, takes on Michael Brodie, 35-2-1, for the featherweight title. Brodie has survived tough contests, one, a draw against Injin Chi, perhaps the division’s best featherweight. Harrison really hasn’t fought anyone of Brodie’s caliber up till now. Still that doesn’t discount Harrison’s ability. [details]
