······························
In the co-main event of one of boxing's biggest cards of 2015, WBC Super Featherweight Champion Takashi Miura - making his 5th title defense - and Francisco Vargas steal the show despite a sadly unappreciative crowd as a battered Vargas, trailing on two judges scorecards and almost knocked down seconds earlier in the previous round, pulls out a dramatic comeback, brutally finishing an incredibly tough and gutsy Miura In boxing's 2015 FOTY, earning the top spot from Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Bleacher Report, USA TODAY’s Boxing Junkie, The Sweet Science and Boxing Scene.
