Nice job by Foster, he outboxed Vargas handily. Speed and reflexed mattered, Vargas was just on a lower level.

“Man, it feels great, man,” Foster told Showtime’s Brian Campbell in the ring. “This journey been crazy, man. … Man, dedication and hard work, man. I got a great team around me, man, and, you know, just getting away from the distractions, getting myself mentally and physically right, you know, and now, you know, I’m on top. It’s crazy.”

Yeh, I remember around May of last year, they finally premiered the Spence-Ugas fight which was a year earlier.

They’re the worst.

Try daily motion.

Tried that as well mate, Allthebestfights had an Asian link for it up this morning but it's away now, PBC seem to have no interest in promotion, no promoter, no interest in a UK TV deal, no reason why they can't upload those fights the following week, surely they'd want more exposure and footage of their guys out there but as you say taking a year to upload fights is taking the piss

Finally got around to watching this, never scored but Foster looked a clear winner, Vargas maybe won 3/4 rounds, not a classic by any means, not a lot of quality punches landed by either man but Foster landed more and looked sharper throughout, Vargas had a cheek claiming Foster was running all night, he done plenty back pedaling himself, didn't do enough to put Foster under pressure and deservedly lost the fight

Yeah, but his win over Rey Vargas kinda reminds me of Zahir Raheem's win over Erik Morales in a way.

Yes it was clear, but it wasn't exactly thrilling to watch, and I'm not sure how heavily he'd be promoted with that style.

That being said he'll be back surely.

We'll see how his career goes from here.
