Enjoyed this one. A nice style matchup between a canny ex-champ looking good for the first time in years and a busy ex-champ who appears to have lost a step.
For my money, ex-champ Broner outclassed Vargas who outworked him. Both have outlived their day, so they might as well milk this rivalry for a rematch.
Yeah, that’s the logical way to go ( a rematch )
