Dwyer flabbergasted at Khabib-Vargas judging

[Weebler I]

From 32:30




HBO's scoring and Dan Rafael also scored to the champ Khabib. How did you see this one?

[Hougigo]

Was close... the wide scorecard deserves to get flogged

[Canelo Phresh]

Nice use of flabbergasted.

[John Locke]

I had it 7-5 Vargas and I was being generous to Khabib.

Close but clear win for Vargas.

[Levity]

I had it 114-114 and I wasn't being generous to either fighter. Very close fight and I don't think the 115-113 cards for Vargas were poor, though 117-111 is too wide. Khabib's punches seemed to have more of an impact than Vargas's did and he closed strong, but he wasn't busy enough over the first half of the fight and I think he dropped a bunch of rounds that were more than winnable for him.

[Cuban Linx]

I thought Khabib won, but I didn't think it was a robbery by any stretch of the imagination. The 117-110 scorecard was an absolute joke. The fight was more on the 115-113 or 114-114 side. I thought Khabib spent too much time trying to counter over the top of Vargas' jab.

I thought he showed more skills than Vargas, that's for sure.

Going in I wasn't sold on either of these two. I still am not sold on either, but Khabib looked like the better fighter.

I felt the exact same way.

[Da Machine]

Thout it was close. If I had to choose, id lean towards 115-113 Vargas, then maybe a draw, and last 115-113 for Khabib.

I have no problem with Vargas winning. I would have had somewhat of a problem with Khabib outright winning.

[Humean]

I had it 115-113 Allakhverdiev. Bit surprising to me that not one judge had it for Allakhverdiev and the 117-111 scorecard was definitely a poor one. All the more surprising because most of Vargas's work was to the body and usually that is more likely to be overlooked by judges. The two 115-113 scorecards for Vargas were reasonable though.
