Comments Thread For: Vargas Outworks Novikov To Retain His WBA Strap

smh how many gift decisions is Vargas going to keep getting?

The scoring was a joke. It was reminiscent of his last fight, against another Russian believe, where he starts off well wins the first 3 rounds and then gets schooled as the fight progresses. He got lucky to get the win over Khabib now he gets an even more absurd decision over Novikov who completely worked Vargas over in the 2nd half of the fight.

Lopez, Omotoso, Allakhverdiev and now Novikov. You'd think he'd lose at least one of those. Instead he wins all 4.

He gets more gift decisions that Marco Huck Felix Sturm combined.

Good fight, questionable scoring.

i thought vargas won in a close fight!

[LouIE G]

Am I the only one who thought Novikov clearly won? It was a close fight but I thoufht novikov definitely won



Scorecards were DISGUSTING. 10 rounds to 2, WTF?!?



They need to launch an investigation at the Nevada commission. Las Vegas is the absolute worst judging in boxing!! This is unnacceptable!!!! I'll be shocked if an investigation doesn't happen in the following week

i had vargas winning 115-113.. the right man won but the judges were way off..

[Gary Coleman]

Close fight but I had Novikov winning. Those score cards doe...

The judges have no sympathy a guy's livelihood. It's borderline evil.

I thought that the Russian clearly won and it was such a hometown decision that it would make one think that the fight was held in Las Vargas.

People cry robbery over anything. Vargas won with no controversy in my eyes, and I'm ready to see him take the next step. I've liked the kid for a while now.

That is exactly what happened, he out landed him in more rounds. 7-5 to the Russian. 10-2 Vargas is one of the worst cards you will ever see, it means they gave Jessie rounds where he was out landed by 10+ shots.

I think you should get your eyes checked, chap.

I agree that people overuse the word "robbery" but two judges gave him 10 rounds and the other gave him 9. There's no way he won more than 6 so robbery fits in this scenario.

The decision was bullshit but I guess the philosophy is that nobody cares because his opponent was just some Russian who we'll probably never see again on a major network.

had it 7 rounds to 5 for novnikov but i can see if anyone scored it vice versa, 118-111 is idiot **** cause how is that even possible?? shouldnt it be 118-110 if so cause there was no KO?? vegas judges are idiots one day they will get exposed when floyd retires and no one fights in the desert of neveda no more

118-111 is 9 rounds to 2 and one even 10-10 round.
