Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Grabs WBO Gold, Ends Vargas' Streak

[Emi66]

116-112 (8-4 in rounds) seemed ok...Russell made a mistake but he's not young...mayb it's his time...he should have got. the exec position instead of inexperienced Andy Foster...

I call bs on him, he didnnt intervene because he thought the round was over the guy WAVED the fight off as in stoppage then decided to change his mind..

Vargas should of started faster clearly but F the ref for making such a horrible mistake at the most crucial moment of the fight.....his old ass shouldnt be allowed to ref anymore fights. I seen Mosley KO mayorga with 1 second left..anything is possible... Tim Bradley is always super lucky.....Keith Thurman or Spence should fight him and end his career....

that scum bag saved saved Bradley by not calling a knockdown against provo. if vargas was hurt the round would have went a minute longer at 4 minutes

Well never know what would have happened, but with only 7 secondo left it's hard to see Bradley losing

If Bradley was part of the PBC, he would be irrelevant by now. Bradley would be destroyed by Maidana, Thurman, or Khan. This is 2nd time he's been rocked by 140lb. fighters in their 1st WW fight. Bradley should avoid a rematch with Ruslan by any means necessary!

Will Bradley ever have an impressive performance?

[Mr. Philadel]

StubHub Center, Carson, California - Former two division world champion Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Jessie Vargas (26-1, 9KOs) to win the interim-WBO welterweight title. The scores were 116-112, 117-111 and 115-112.

The early rounds were close. Bradley was taking the fight to Vargas and loading up real big on his punches. He was catching Vargas with some very telling punches when they got up close.

Vargas was throwing a decent jab with not much coming along with that jab. Bradley was outworking Vargas in spot after spot, pushing the tempo and throwing a lot of shots.

Congratz to Storm!!...I'm happy for dude!!

Crazy thing is I was completely sure Storm was gonna get robbed going into the fight that I turned the fight off after round 9....Storm was way up and at times really schooling the kid imo....so being as though I felt the robbery was in the air, I flipped the channel because I didn't wanna see the ugly face of the sport I love so much

Bottom line, I missed that crazy ending .....I saw the replay highlights just a minute ago and BOOM!!...Storm got caught CLEAN!!...he was hurt but I've seen him hurt worse than that against Provo

As for referee Pat Russell, I've said it over and over again but NOBODY is hearing me!!...he's one of the most if not THEE MOST incompetent ref in the sport imo....he's the **** head who stopped BHop-Dawson 1 while BHop was just trying to con him into taing a few pnts from Chad for slamming him, this crazy ref gives Chad a TKO win which was later reviewed rightfully changed to a NC weeks afterwards

This is the SAME ref who stopped Rios-Alverado 1 while Mike was hurt but still throwing....the SAME ref who allowed Kell Brook to hold Porter without ever threatening to take a point away....not surprised he's involved in ANOTHER controversial ending....his mistakes usually become the reasons for REMATCHES

Khan? You're kidding, right?

[Bronx2245]

Khan? You're kidding, right?

OK, maybe not Khan. I'll throw in Errol Spence Jr., and Shawn Porter. How about that?

The newbie here is you. We don't even regard you as a troll - rather a ******ed fan of... Well, something.

And thank you for showing us (again and again), that you absolutely don't know jack shiet about how the scoring system works in boxing. Or what boxing is for that matter.

I'll give you a hint on the scoring though: "10-point must system". Read about it. Take your time.

LOL @ you using the word "we"... who is "we" you and your FIomo friends who repeat the same Floyd talking points over and over?

Newb, you can have a 10-8 round without a knock down, you do realize that right?
