Vargas-Broner go to war in Brooklyn as Charlo & Davis impress

Saturday, April 21 in Brooklyn, New York, Adrien Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) and Las Vegas native Jessie Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs), put on a show in front of the Barclays Center, as the 13,964 fans on hand saw a better-than-expected scrap.Each fighter came in needing a win to remain in the mix among the elite in their respective divisions, with both men fighting with a sense of desperation. In the early rounds, Vargas got off to a strong start as he simply let his hands go more often than Broner did. The knock on Broner has always been that he doesn’t throw enough punches, and it hurt him again in the first half of the fight.
