Magsayo vs Vargas FULL FIGHT: July 9, 2022 | PBC on Showtime

Mexico’s Rey Vargas became a two-division world champion Saturday night as he rose from a knockdown and boxed and banged his way to the WBC Featherweight World Championship against Mark Magsayo by split-decision in a dramatic showdown that headlined live on SHOWTIME from the Alamodome in San Antonio in a Premier Boxing Champions event.
“I’m at a loss of words,” said an emotional Vargas post-fight. “I worked hard for this. I want to thank God, my family, my trainer Nacho Beristain. The first title I won, I enjoyed it greatly, but this one is special. This win is for me.”
“It’s his today, no matter what, I’ll come back stronger, I’m disappointed but I did my best,” said Magsayo.
The battle of unbeatens was a fast-paced affair throughout, with both men holding momentum at different moments but never giving in to their determined opponent. Despite his height and reach advantage, Vargas (36-0, 22 KOs) was prepared to go toe-to-toe with the hard-charging Magsayo (24-1, 16 KOs) and was able to use his superior activity to edge the decision on the judges’ cards with two scores of 115-112 against a 114-113 score for Magsayo.
The only world champion from the Philippines heading into this fight, Magsayo was able to land numerous flush power shots on Vargas, who took them well and made sure to return fire with a versatile attack of his own. This success showed up on the punch stats, as Vargas out landed Magsayo 196 to 132 according to CompuBox.
“I just kept moving forward and shrugging him off no matter what was happening,” said Vargas. “All that mattered for me was coming out with the victory in the end.”
Now a two-division world champion, Vargas showed that he could rebound from adversity, as Magsayo nearly turned the tide of the fight by landing a sneaky right hand late in round nine that put Vargas down.
"It wasn't a power punch that got me," said Vargas. "It was more of something that happened because of how I was moving. We were able to recover and come back strong."
“When I had him down, the punch was straight, he did his job in the ring, running,” said Magsayo. “I applied the pressure and did what we trained for in the gym, but he was taller and he’s the man today.”
Vargas showed his veteran mettle rising to his feet and surviving a shaky 10th round to come back and sweep rounds 11 and 12 on all three judges’ cards to clinch the victory.
“It was a good, enjoyable fight,” said Vargas. “We felt comfortable throughout. I was sound technically. We were just going round-by-round and we got the result we expected.”
“I will rest and watch the fight and I’m going to train to fight again and will correct my mistakes for the next time,” said Magsayo. “Thanks to all my fans in the Philippines. I did my best and will come back stronger.”
After the fight, Vargas set his sights on a potential unification fight against four-division world champion and current WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz, a potentially huge Mexico vs. Mexico clash.
“Now I want the unification bout,” said Vargas. “I want to fight Leo Santa Cruz. We’ve already talked about it with my team and I’m ready.”

[@kugicaimp192]

❤❤❤ SUPER-BIASED COMMENTATORS. THEY WERE GIVING CREDIT TO VARGAS' PUNCHES WHICH WERE NOT EVEN LANDING WHILE NOT GIVING CREDIT TO MAGSAYO'S PUNCHES THAT WERE LANDING. MAGSAYO WON THIS FIGHT BUT HE GOT ROBBED. ❤❤❤

[@siklab4845]

Walang score yung knockdown daw

[@k.tucker2011]

That fake win over Gary Russell Jr smh The man hurt his shoulder during the right. Mag didn't earn anything. All he did was kick the man when he was down

[@luhspooky7779]

That was Gary Russell Jr fault, In plus he was getting beat up before that happened, Magsayo did what he had to do and won fair and square.

[@prodkenny302]

Mark was purposely punching the right shoulder in that fight, but because shoulder punches don’t count, shit practically looked useless and wasn’t mentioned by commentary, that’s another fight that should be a rematch

[@k.tucker2011]

@@luhspooky7779 blame Gary all you need to but the fact still remains Mag didn't earn the fight at all. You know and he knows it and that's why he refused the rematch. But as you can see he got what he deserves any way this L
