Fascinating stuff. Super middleweight match on Friday night. This is a match you show to kids to say- never box like this. There's more heart than head in this match. Both guys hate each other. Brilliant to watch needless to say.

as it turns out, it was a fight you should have the kids watch. both fighters controlled their emotions and put on a great show. vargas hit the canvas in the 1st round with a powerful flurry from mayorga
slowly but surely vargas got himself back into the fight and i had him winning it until he hit the canvas again in the last second of the 11th, a round he had clearly won.
the 12 th round was what fighting is all about, neither guy threw in the towel and still threw plenty of punches. mayorga took the decision with one judge calling it a draw

It is on Setanta now, cracking fight, have to leave now in the middle of the 9th

'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

It wasn't controlled, too much emotion at times. Heart over head but great to see.

must of been watching a different fight then, cos vargas was so disciplined in his approach. mayorga also fought a smart fight and kept bangin away, had he been reckless, vargas would of knocked him out.Originally posted by Ben Tover View Post"People from Liverpool have got something about them and, if they’re not happy about something, they let people know.”
