Broner vs Vargas FULL FIGHT: April 21, 2018 - PBC on Showtime
(April 21, 2018) Four-division world champion Adrien Broner and two-division world champion Jessie Vargas fought to a highly entertaining 12-round majority draw Saturday night on SHOWTIME in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in front of 13,964 fans at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The back-and-forth battle was a tale of activity vs. accuracy. Vargas was by far the more active fighter, throwing 839 total punches, 300 more than his opponent. Yet the flashy Broner was supremely accurate, connecting on 44 percent of his power shots and 38 percent of his total punches, compared to just 27 and 24, respectively, for Vargas.
Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) came on strong in the second half of the fight, picking up rounds eight through 10 on all three of the judges' scorecards. The 12th round was crucial in determining the draw, which was scored 115-113 Broner and 114-114 twice. The judges agreed on eight of the 12 rounds but couldn't agree on the final round, which was ruled differently by the two judges who scored the fight a draw.
"I want to thank Jessie Vargas. He's a two-time world champion for a reason," said Broner, who was working for the first time with Kevin Cunningham as his head trainer. "He came to fight but at the end of the day, you all know I beat him. Point blank, period.
"I was connecting with rights. I got warmed up in the early portion of the fight. My trainer was a big help tonight. I want to thank Coach Cunningham as well as my original coach, Mike Stafford, for realizing I needed to do something different.
"I would love to fight Vargas again, but let's go back to my town to do it."
Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs) worked off the jab and was incredibly effective with his body shots in just his second fight with trainer and former world champion Mike "The Body Snatcher" McCallum.
"I thought I won the fight," Vargas said. "At the end of the day I can't argue because I was fighting on the inside of the ring so I don't know what you saw from the outside. I was landing clean blows. It was a good fight but at the end of the day I can't dispute the decision.
"It must have been a close fight for the judges to have scored it the way they did. I felt that I won the fight and I was up two rounds. I'm relying on the judges to make the right decision.”

Broner actually won this fight. Barely but he won. He was tearing vargas up... he should of let his hands go more but his precision can be seen in Vargas face and everytime his knees would buckle. If some of these rounds were 30 secs longer Broner would of knocked him down in a couple of those rounds smh lol

Floyd recognized early that AB was a got-damn 'PROBLEM" so Floyd wandered off to wherever Floyd goes after being disgusted with a boxers immaturity... Hence whats left is a self-generated - self-proclaimed delusional performer raising the brows of fans and commentators with trashy accolades and phrases of grandeur ... Now its not that AB is not regarded as a great talker- particularly when actions speak louder than words when its backed up -- but the prize in AB's 10cent Cracker-Jack 'BOX" isn't worth the cost of the peanuts and caramel Popcorn, especially after the cavities set in !! We will always love AB, but his "COULDA-WOULDA-SHOULDA done his 'HOME-WORK"excuses including the DOG ate his notebook, collectively ended with his "CHOICE" not to, make up the failing grade and 'PERFORM" on the next level of his rhetoric still resulted in another "F" whether or not the Ref's gave him the "W"... AB should be renamed to AF - "'About Failing" - Once upon a time AB was consistently considered the one to call to official gunslinger O-K Corral shoot-outs,... yet he kept showing up with dingy, unclean Butter-knives - AB has guns... but he never checked his ammo, never cleaned the barrels, checked the sights, and never filled all the chambers. - He really never drew and didn't pull out his guns because they are stuck in his holster - The fact remains - when he does pull the trigger, he shoots himself in the foot- every time - Geez !!

Fuck, Broner drives makes me so frustrated, bc he’s prob the dumbest fighter I’ve ever seen. Here’s a guy w/ more talent than anyone except Floyd Mayweather & a couple others, but who’s scared to throw a punch. He goes rounds w/o letting his hands go, & that’s why he’s not undefeated. He’s so precise & won’t throw a punch unless he thinks it’s the perfect time to. Perfection is the enemy of greatness, bc no ones perfect, but Broner easily has the talent to be great. He just needs to get out of his own head, or start using his head 😂

After watching this fight a second time, I have it Vargas winning 7-5. Work rate was too high and he outlanded Broner, though Broner was the harder puncher and did more damage. Close fight, the Draw was fair, I too had a swing round. A rematch would be a good fight for both.

Danny QuietStorm Rush
پیش 22 ساعت
@Avarski Boston Exactly. If AB started the way he finished, it wouldn't have gone the distance. When AB came on he lumped Vargas face up. AB was obviously the better fighter but that slow start is why he's lucky it was a draw. But it just hit me, that start could have been his corners fault. Vargas got way more than 4 rounds. Which 8 rounds did you give AB?
Avarski Boston
پیش 23 ساعت
@Danny QuietStorm Rush I had it 8-4 for ab if they fight again and ab is aggressive he can stop vargas or get a unanimous decision easily.. all he gotta do is let his hands go and oh yeah throughout the fight ab was landing a straight right then ducking vargas counter just like mayweather does it was beautiful
Danny QuietStorm Rush
پیش 23 ساعت
@Avarski Boston Yeah Broner brought the action when persuaded by his corner and was effective with it and could have landed at will. He just didn't. Vargas pressed and landed the body shots. Even though there was nothing on'em they still landed unanswered. When AB would press he constantly got met with that jab which was really all Vargas had that was effective. But had AB started the fight the way he finished he would have won but he only brought the fight because he underestimated Vargas and had to play catchup. Me personally. I scored it 7 to 5 Vargas.
Avarski Boston
پیش روز
@Danny QuietStorm Rush right effective punching is a part of ring generalship.. and AB connected on his power shots at a high rate he gave up the body because vargas has no power. he was walking down vargas which also is ring generalship and in fact it was several moments where ab could've EASILY stopped vargas especially in the 9th. The only thing you can take from the fight is vargas landed a lot of body punches. But look at vargas face compared to AB face and you tell me if compubox got ab numbers wrong
Danny QuietStorm Rush
پیش روز
Well technically output is one the judging factors. Your right though, the flurries by Vargas were blocked for the most part but AB didn't have an answer for that Jab or the those body shots which were flush. Notice AB wouldn't actually fight Vargas until the closing seconds of the rounds. His own corner knew he was behind before the last round. So yeah AB really should have been satisfied with the draw. His corner was relieved.

Broner is one the most athletic boxers I’ve ever seen. No one can disagree on that I don’t care if you hate him. His natural reflexes, crazy handspeed, crazy agility. People forget hes still fairly young. He’s up with the greatest handspeed tho (sugar ray, Roy Jones, Gary Russell and Ryan Garcia ) . I think he’s faster than Floyd.

@RekeMun Gaming I hear ya. I’ve always supported AB. Only thing I get disappointed with, is how much weight he puts on between fights. He’s still young and should be staying in shape between fights. Like I’ve said before, AB can’t afford to get complacent between fights because if you look at his pops, he is genetically susceptible to becoming fat.

@Ruthless Inu not disagreeing on that part but my I'm argument is that fans over do it when he lose if you would only listen to fans and not watch his fights you would think AB be getting knock out and dominated but that don't be the case that's my only agreement. And they even overhype the chino fight low-key

@SuperTruthful I know, it makes me mad bc he has more talent than every one of those fighters listed. And all Paulie did when he fought him was throw a bunch of soft punches that Broner didn’t feel, & hoped Broner wouldn’t let his hands go. Fortunately, he did let his hands go just enough, but even to beat Paulie 115-113 is weak considering Broner’s ability. He should’ve K.O.’d him by the 6th round 😂
