this fight should be 5 stars!!!
defiantly should be 5 stars.
Tito always was entertaining. Vargas even tried to get up at the end.
Holy sh*t! This is 5 stars. The referee let this go a knockdown too long. What drama! In the slower rounds it was great to appreciate the speed and defensive stance of these great fighter. Incredible fight, get in there good old ATBF commentators.
2 punches were seemingly incorrectly called low blows, the trunks were a little high. My God the ninth round was crazy! WTF with the 10th round ‘low blow’. Anyway an INCREDIBLE battle. Boxing at its best, still have goosebumps.
