Garcia on my card

[Dark night 24]

Was rooting for Vargas but Mikey won this.

I had it all Mikey after 1-4 for Vargas, so with that and the 10 8 Mikey's fine to me even not closing the show, but I don't know what these judges saw. Some of the second half was very close...

Damn good fight

Jessie may slightly edged the last round even though it looked like he was impacted by a short left hook.

I'm not sure why Mikey didn't go for the kill after the 8th round and I have so many questions. Jessie may have made this interesting with his second half effort even while being hurt badly.

Man Mikey doesn't belong at WW, don't know why he's there. Skill will only take you so far.

Mikey won, but Vargas slowed Mikey down with bodyshots and even took a few rounds to make it competitive based on the number of rounds won/lost.

1 vargas, excellent round, few crisp clean shots.
2 vargas. Mikey doing nothing but eating everything. Lands a few shots at the end. But not enough to win the round.
3 vargas. Close round. Mikey lands a few beautiful shots, but vargas lands volume of clean shots. Good flurry at the end too.
4 vargas. Good exchanges, Mikey not wasting energy, throwing tight shots. Jesse throwing a ton, can his energy level keep up?
5 Mikey, KD. Jesse gets cute and gets caught twice in a row. Mikey is intelligent and figured him out a few times.
6 vargas! Jesse was absolutely in survival mode whole round on shaky legs, but Mikey just didn't press him and ate a few looping shots. Jesse is there to be knocked out, but he won this round. Mikey saved a lot of energy.
7 Mikey. Jesse eats a lot of shots, very wobbly. Mikey with precision punches.
8 vargas? Very close. Neither guys lands much. Jesse with volume and a few nice punches. Jesse is also punching low a lot and needs to be warned much more.
9 vargas. Announcers treating it like Mikey is dominating.. He's not. He lands one very nice combo but absorbs a bunch of punches. Vargas is clearly in more danger and looks bad, but imo he's taking the rounds.
10 Mikey, close. He lands a beautiful combo that wobbles vargas and then nothing. Jesse stays busy. Mikey just needs to throw a bit more and he's got this easy.
11 vargas, very close. Mikey with 2 gorgeous combos, one early one late, but vargas lands several very clean shots. I have no idea how he's still on this.
12 vargas. Good round for both. Jesse stumbling, but he lands nice clean shots. Mikey with best shot of the round, but those 2 at the very end by vargas were decive for me.

So that's.. 9-3 with KD for vargas.

I only gave Garcia rounds 5, 7, 8 and 9. Even the rounds the cimmentators wanted us to believe Vargas had no legs, he was backing up and tagging Garcia. He was outpunchung Garcia the whole fight b
