Wow, Israil Madrimov

Predictions: 2 of 2 Winners, 1 Perfect, 140 Points   |   Tied for 736th

What a masterclass performance from this young man. Never let up, chose his moments perfectly throughout, blocked beautifully and stayed calm under pressure. Israil might be a star in the making, I can't wait for this guy to fight some of the best welterweights in the world. He's already one of them.

Vargas is why I don't like to watch boxing. He clinches or takes a knee every time his opponent gets in range. It's super lame to watch the momentum crash to a halt every time he feels the slightest danger. In a fight he's winning no less

I would love boxing if there was no MMA. But there is more MMA than I have time to watch already and it's essentially both my hobby and my job to watch it so that leaves little hope for boxing. I only occasionally watch stuff of special interest, like this event because of Ngannou.

Vargas got what he deserved, dude has been hanging on the whole fight and Ball is right to shrug him off and punch off that break, sub-par refereeing

Result: Vargas vs Ball ends in split decision draw

One judge has it 114-112 in favour of Vargas. Another has it 116-110 to Ball. And the third has it 113-113. So it’s a split decision draw.

114-112 in favour of Vargas despite the world champion twice being knocked down is exceptionally dubious.

Well, that was some ********!   Yeah Vargas won the 1st few rounds but Ball dropped him 2x and had Vargas running for the last 6 rounds.

Why even have judges at this point? They should just fight to the death.
