Super Welterweights : Fernando Vargas vs. Pernell Whitaker

[Woldemar]

IMO Vargas by close decision.

What your picks?

[AntonioMartin]

Whitaker, UD

[Onetimeonly]

Whitaker wide. He had no problems with Vazquez who's a pretty underrated fighter, he bounced winky off the canvas like a basketball. Ironically, wright is a Jr middle that would be tough for pea.

[gilgamesh]

Vargas would've given him problems in spots by just bulling him to the ropes, and firing volleys, but I don't think he'd ever land too many. Whitaker would pile up most of the rounds. Frustrate Vargas, and take a UD in an interesting fight of strength and size vs speed and skill.

I think Whitaker would take it 115-113 or 116-112 across the board. He's giving away a lot of size here, but he's good enough to do his thing in this fight.
