anyone watching this card?

Can't believe everyone is missing the return of the Rod.

Man, Salka opens up so much when the throws.

 

[Seano]

10-9 Salka. Vargas clearly the more dangerous guy in there though. He'll get to Salka at some point.

 

[Seano]

20-18 Salka.Just outworking Vargas early on. Lots of body shots. Starting to get hit a bit more.

 

[Seano]

Vargas doesn't look so good here.

 

[Seano]

29-28 Salka. another close round, gave it to Vargas for a few good shots late but Salka is outworking him for the most part.

 

[Seano]

38-38

Down goes Salka.

Vargas taking over after a slow start.

48-46 Vargas.

 

[Seano]

Salka has some skills, he just shouldn't be at this level.

 

[Seano]

58-55 Vargas

Fight is over. Salka's corner stopped it.

Sounded like a mismatch

Salka did OK for a few rounds. He just doesn't have the firepower to beat a top level fighter. Reminds me a lot of Joey Gamache.

 

[Bogotazo]

He made a decent showing of himself but definitely too high a level.

I like Vargas a lot...too early to find Morales Barrera replacements but theres always hope!
