MSSports 'Last PH world champion falls as Magsayo loses to Mexican'
Magsayo, who bowed for the first time after winning 24 pro fights, had the World Boxing Council featherweight belt ripped from his grasp by Vargas following a split decision loss to the taller Mexican in their 12-round encounter at Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas.“Pasensya na po sa lahat at salamat sa lahat ng sumuporta, babalik tayo at pagsisikapan ko ulit. Salamat po,” Magsayo wrote.
Vargas, now with 36-0 wins with 22 knockouts, was a former champion in the super bantamweight class before moving up to the higher featherweight division. The stronger Magsayo was hurting and doing damage with his power punches in the early rounds, even causing a cut over the left eye of Vargas in the 7th round.
Still, Magsayo remained dangerous, closing the distance a few times and once landed a heavy right hand to knock down Vargas. The Mexican stood up and quickly recovered. He also appeared to drop again in the 10th, but the referee waved it off.
