Jessie was trying to copy the Marquez/Mayweather gampelan. His plan was to circle to his left and catch Manny coming in. Vargas attempted to counter with his right hand and land a huge shot all night but he fell short.
People never do well when they mix it up with Manny so Vargas was smart to try and avoid exchanges. The issue was that Vargas did not have the same sense of timing and distance that Mayweather and Marquez have so he did not perform as well as those guys. Manny was clearly the more experienced guy and it showed. Vargas tried his best to stick to a gameplan but it wasn't good enough to win.
When plan A doesn't work through rounds 1-6 you move on to plan B. In the championship rounds he should've gone for the Ko.
