huh? what fight are you talking about? Vargas was on roids and still got his ass stopped by DLH ... nothing was given in that fight, oscar took it with authority .. unless you are talking about another fight ....

no, that is cool, and if it went the distance and she thought vargas, won, she can think that, but when a fight gets stopped you can't really say that the fight was given to anyone ... i

No, you are right. DLH stomped Vargas, but I think I had a major brain fart. I think she meant to reference DLH's fight with PBF and I think that threw me off.

Sorry, it's been a long week.

Its kinda complicated I am not really a fan, but its kinda something most people won't understand. They went 11rounds some of the rounds were given to Oscar that were not IMO worthy. Once again I can predict responses to my post already. lol. Amusing ....I have an uncle who is a known boxing referee and we have debated over this for hours.. lol! He was even on Oscars boxing show.

It really wasnt that big of an ass stomping for boxing... Especially 11 rounds?!

Hey, don't get me wrong, I got nothing but love, but Vargas did get stopped. It was clear. DLH had his ticket, and he punched it.

Stopped or not it wasnt a TKO..Obviously we know the outcome and truth is the fight was not such a stomp on Oscars part. Anyways like I said im not a big ol' Vargas lover, but I guess its a Cali thing for me not liking DLH.

You got the thread title all wrong. It should read "Manny Pacquaio Retires De La Hoya"
