Actually if you really watch the fight over and look carefully, it wasn't as close as originally thought. Oscar began dominating Vargas about the 6th round on.
Vargas landed some good shots but I think that was more due to the fact that Oscar really wanted to ko him badly and stood right in front of Vargas.
Oscar was landing the straight right and left hook almost at will later on in that fight. He really punished Vargas for 11 rounds.
Oscar's left hook was a thing of beauty, he threw it from a weird angle too. It almost came from his hip, looked like a half upper cut but at the last moment straightened out and he brings the elbow up to get maximum power.
The way he throws it, makes it really hard to see coming.

That's pretty much true. But I think because of the intensity that Vargas brought early, it gets overlooked. Vargas really did put it on Delahoya in the early stages of the fight.
Jim Lampley's love for anything Oscar really turns me the **** off but this is one time where I felt his melodramatic self was right on time. That was a great fight.
