I didn't score it and haven't had a chance to watch it again...but a draw seemed fair. I felt like vargas may have edged it by boxing a little in the late rounds, which after round 5-6, i thought he could have done a lot more. Once salido had slowed down enough, vargas should have used his jab and straight right a bit more imo. It could have been the difference in some close rounds. There were a few times where i thought salido was going to break vargas, but vargas dug deep and turned the fight in his favor through sheer will. One thing i took from the fight was the heart and toughness of vargas...i knew what salido was coming with, but vargas showed even more than he did in the miura fight imo, cuz salido put him under a lot more pressure.

Me too. Best fight I've seen this year. 7 rounds to 5 for Salido but I have no problem with the draw.

I had it a draw, Salido did finish strong though. The real winner was the fans for being privileged to watch such a great fight.
Loved this fight, I wanna see a rematch. I'm a fan of both guys. Haven't seen a fight this action packed since Vargas' last fight against Miura. Lol
