Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Drops, Decisions a Tough Jessie Vargas

[Santa_]

Garcia looks gassed too.

This is going to be hard to score cause of Vargas being so active but I’m liking Garcia’s accuracy and eye catching punches.

Hard to score

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.

Pacquiao beats Mikey though, probably stops him honestly but it would be a nice Payday I guess

Mikey does have timing so maybe he can catch him like JMM was able to catch him but I don't know Pacquiao still very fast and still can punch

Mikey didn't do anything last two rounds.

I love watching Mikey cause I think he is like a textbook boxer. I have mixed feelings about him fighting at 147, but it is always great watching him fight.

I love his patience, he knows his style will win over and isn't afraid to let the fight come to him. He doesn't have to come out full steam ahead

Mikey's body shows deterioration from all bodyshots now.

Vargas is due for a point deduction if he hits low again.

They created a narrative after the KD and stuck with it.

I love PAC but would be very close
Especially if PAC gasses out like the Thurman fight
