Twitter reacts to HBO Boxing card
Bradley dominates, but weird ending steals headlines
Vargas has made his last few fights WAY tougher than they should have been. He's gonna have to dig deep tonight. #boxing #BradleyVargas

Ward saying people overrate punching power. Ehhh…it's what the people like. It's like hamburgers…they dig em.

Tim Bradley coming out to California Love makes me like him even more
— Luis Sandoval (@truewest007) June 28, 2015
I'd be very very shocked if Bradley loses
— Forever Boxing (@forever_boxing) June 28, 2015
By all accounts, Vargas is a good guy. It's odd that he's already gone through 5 trainers.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 28, 2015
Bradley's training with Poncher will be key to him winning this fight
— James Bagg Jr. (@JamesBaggJr) June 28, 2015
No, because I can't watch it. HBO Go doesn't have a live feed. Guess I'll watch it on Monday. https://t.co/0IgaqUcQur

IF Bradley KO's Vargas tonight I'll become a Vegan-Tire Slamming Machine. Lol. #Power
— Sergio Mora (@TheLatinSnake_) June 28, 2015
Fantastic power punching from Bradley in the 4th, mixing in a variety of different right hands. 3-1 Bradley.

Omg! This is a good fight! @HBOboxing #BradleyVargas #boxing @trboxing 5th
— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) June 28, 2015
Tim gets reckless. Needs to respect Vargas a little more here. #boxing #BradleyVargas
— Raging Babe (@M_RagingBabe) June 28, 2015
Jessie needs to change his strategy. He's doing just enough to lose these rounds.
— Matthew Mojica (@TheFightSource) June 28, 2015
Vargas' mouth is wide open.
— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) June 28, 2015
It's just one thing u can't teach, that's experience. It's showing now
— Ishe Oluwa Smith (@IsheSugarShay) June 28, 2015
Fun swings in this fight. Worthy of 1K.
— Scott C (@sledskillz) June 28, 2015
Tim Bradley lookin strong
— Luis Arias (@LuisCubaArias) June 28, 2015
Bradley realized this is a real fight and started using his whole skill set. Big round for him. Rd 4 tim #BradleyVargas @HBOboxing
— Chris Algieri (@ChrisAlgieri) June 28, 2015
Vargas isn't bad here tonight. Bradley is just a little better in each round.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 28, 2015
This is a seasoned man against a less seasoned man, a bit softer of a man. Tim made of sturdy fuckign lumber.
— Michael Woods (@Woodsy1069) June 28, 2015
Let's go Bradley! https://t.co/ORKJ1hcLBv

Into Rd 10 Tim Bradley way out in front. Jessie Vargas one dimensional. Has a good jab but not showing anything else pic.twitter.com/4BkVWFVoFJ

Gaa Daaaamn,PBC has officially taken over boxing. @trboxing you guys are the MINOR LEAGUES. @premierboxing thank you for saving the sport
— ray sanchez (@realraysanchez) June 28, 2015
At the end of the day "Tough Luck" Tim Bradley wins again. Deal with it. @Timbradleyjr
— Ryan Bivins (@RyanBivins) June 28, 2015
Great analysis from @andreward on the " hard way" from @Timbradleyjr . "Some fighters have the talent but you have to have the temperament"
— BJ Flores (@bjfloresboxing) June 28, 2015
U beat @Timbradleyjr by going at him, straightforward, @ChrisAlgieri & #DesertStorm would be great fight. #2Champs @HBOboxing
— Chuck Donohue Jr. (@DonohueJr) June 28, 2015
Tim Bradley gets the bad end of the stick. He is a winner let that man win.
— Squint (@Squint2Mylou) June 28, 2015
@ChrisAlgieri Thank you for educating people! Vargas looked like a jackass running around like he got away with a sneaky victory!
— Chris (@yankz24) June 28, 2015
Eassssssy #boxing people- not a close fight and that KO was NOT coming! #BradleyVargas @HBOboxing
— Chris Algieri (@ChrisAlgieri) June 28, 2015
Bradley/Vargas rematch on BET
— James Bagg Jr. (@JamesBaggJr) June 28, 2015
Vargas somehow thinks he was winning the fight. Delusional.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 28, 2015
If @FloydMayweather is looking for the best available welterweight, it's @TimBradleyJr. He's become a TV friendly guy who fights the best.
— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) June 28, 2015
8 seconds left and Jessie Vargas hadn't done anything in the 16 seconds after he landed the punch that hurt Bradley stop with he was robbed
— Henry Ramirez (@HRamirezBoxing) June 28, 2015
they're trying to overblow this controversy… Bradley survived Ruslan in worse conditions. Timmy would've taken the knee with 10 seconds
— Romney for the HOF (@R_Munny) June 28, 2015
Has Bradley ever had a legitimate win? Haha Buuuum Squuuad
— ray sanchez (@realraysanchez) June 28, 2015
Oh boy. Jesse wants rematch. Says they didn't let him finish what he started. Tim said "We can do it again." Hell yea for 1.5M lol
— Raging Babe (@M_RagingBabe) June 28, 2015
Lost in that mayhem is that Bradley may have been out on his feet after that right hand in Round 12.
— Brian Campbell (@BCampbellESPN) June 28, 2015
That's why you don't have Mr. Magoo ref a fight #BradleyVargas
— SiriusXM Boxing (@SiriusXMBoxing) June 28, 2015
Vargas still thought he had won by TKO
— EddieBooker4TheHOF (@jrosales13) June 28, 2015
Tim Bradley is weird shit magnet
— Alex McClintock (@axmcc) June 28, 2015
Pat Russell heard the sound of his career ending.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 28, 2015
How has it not been communicated to Vargas that it wasn't a ko?
— Boogie Bousins (@bansky) June 28, 2015
@BoxingVoice_Vic frankly, that was such a fucking debacle that it has to be done. whether fans want it or not
— linusesq (@linusesq) June 28, 2015
Arum hates Bradley, been trying to kill him off for years, he definitely would serve him to GGG for the money

Official scorecard and punch stats from #BradleyVargas pic.twitter.com/nI7JP3c7LT
— Crystina Poncher (@CrystinaPoncher) June 28, 2015
Erik Morales, current version, might have done better than Jessie Vargas tonight. #BradleyVargas
— Ryan Bivins (@RyanBivins) June 28, 2015
Good fight, though. Vargas was pretty solid, Bradley just looked the better man. Wouldn’t mind a rematch. Vargas can learn a lot from this.
— Scott (@scottchristBLH) June 28, 2015
Speculate all you want about how last 0:10 of #BradleyVargas play out. That Vargas was denied the chance to finish gives grounds for protest
— Jake Donovan (@JakeNDaBox) June 28, 2015
Actually, Pat Russell knew what he was doing. He sent Vargas away to avoid anymore embarrassment after getting dominated #BradleyVargas
— King Felix (@KingFelixG) June 28, 2015
It's a no contest in my opinion
— mglcreativeboxing (@mglcreativebox) June 28, 2015
Bradley prolly would of finished but we don't know that because he made through the Ruslan fight doesn't guarantee he finishes tonight
— mglcreativeboxing (@mglcreativebox) June 28, 2015
Look at weak ass July 25 HBO card. LOL at HBO for paying for it. Roman-Viloria would have easily saved that card though.
— EddieBooker4TheHOF (@jrosales13) June 28, 2015
Valdez wins by decision
Valdez down! Looked kinda like a foot tangle plus a punch, but being counted as a knockdown
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 28, 2015
Valdez ruled down in round 1. ?
— Ryan Bivins (@RyanBivins) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez down in the first round. He appears to trip after Tamayo lands a left. He looks surprised, maybe embarrassed.
— Norm Frauenheim (@FrauenheimNorm) June 28, 2015
So far Verdejo has had the better HBO debut lol
— EddieBooker4TheHOF (@jrosales13) June 28, 2015
What time does Bradley go on? I'm watching BKB now
— Oscar De La Hoya (@OscarDeLaHoya) June 28, 2015
#BradleyVargas Oscar Valdez es muy superior a Tamayo. Si no se despista mucho es imposible q pierda. Pero además de vencer debería convencer
— JuliusJulianis (@JulianisJulius) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez is super economical, he doesn't waste any punches he's very poised #boxing
— Spurnandez210 (@Spurnandez210) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez is greatly outworking Tamayo in 4th, and landing some hard shots. Multiple punches every time, too. #Boxing #BradleyVargas
— Bob Velin (@BobVelin) June 28, 2015
I feel like HBO is trying to sell me Oscar Valdez really hard. Not buying.
— Alejandro Burgos (@301whereimfrom) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez is the TRUTH.
— Brian Casanova (@KojoBoy_) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez still has a tendency to over-throw his punches and rush things a bit… #boxing
— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez gonna be a killa once he completely get rid of that amateur Style!!He's uses a lot of unneeded energy.
— Richard Best (@RLeeBest) June 28, 2015
Tamayo getting a point taken away for low blow. Didn't see an obvious one, but maybe will on replay. Valdez didn't seem to care
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 28, 2015
Useless point deduction.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 28, 2015
If like to fight Felix
— Karl Dargan (@DynamiteKO) June 28, 2015
Oscar throwing low-key shots?
— Raging Babe (@M_RagingBabe) June 28, 2015
So how many times has Bob Arum cursed Peter Nelson's name so far during this fight? #boxing
— Jake Donovan (@JakeNDaBox) June 28, 2015
I really like Oscarito valdez but its a fact that jojo diaz beat him in Baku to punch ticket to London Olympics and JD is superior to him
— ricky guevara (@mrrickyguevara) June 28, 2015
Well that happened…moving on
— Matthew Mojica (@TheFightSource) June 28, 2015
Uuuuuh Tamayo Is a helluva fighter…helluva chin *floyd voice*
— Yogïvïc (@Yogi_Mike88) June 28, 2015
Oscar Valdez isn't the future of Mexican boxing, he's good, that's about it.
— Rivas,Boxing Embassy (@BoxingEmbassy) June 28, 2015
Even after a fight, Oscar Valdez still looks hot ?
