I really hate to see a fight where is so much height difference between the two boxers. This difference was a big factor in the result of this match. Anyhow, Vargas is a much better boxer than Mansito showing more speed and punches accuracy.
However, I didn’t like at all the amount of low blow punches connected by Vargas and the way he was pushing down Mansito in every occasion it was possible.
The referee was pretty bad and too partial since he did almost nothing to stop this bad behavior from the Mexican fighter.
