Fireworks erupted in Brooklyn tonight in was the 'Tale of Two Fights.'
Jessie Vargas came out blazing, seemingly gunning for a stoppage but wasn't able to get AB in trouble. Vargas did, however, win at least 4 or 5 of the first 6 rounds and took a wide lead into the second half of the fight. However, Jessie Vargas (28-2-2, 10 KO) would fade as Adrien Broner (33-3-1, 24 KO) asserted himself well in the back half, winnng at least 4 or 5 of the last 6 rounds.
In the end, the scores were 115-113 Broner and 114-114 twice in a very entertaining, hard fought battle with a fair result.
And in today's first high-profile bout, Amir Kkan stepped into the ring for the first time in nearly 2 years breathing fire.

Super welterweights
Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) needed only 39 seconds to dispatch Phil Lo Greco (28-4, 15 KOs) on Saturday night at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.Lo Greco, who was floored within the first 13 seconds, tasted the canvas again moments later compliments on a thunderous Khan combination, prompting the referee to halt the action.
“I’m going to give the U.K fans the biggest fights possible," said the Pakistani-born Brit.
"I want to become a world champion again, I’m a 147lb fighter.”

Adamek KO 7 Joey Abell
Heavyweights
He's not finished yet. 41-year-old heavyweight Tomasz Adamek (53-5, 30 KOs) stopped journeyman Joey Abell (34-10, 32 KOs) at the Hala Sportowa in Czestochowa, Poland.
Adamek, a former world cruiserweight champion, is like a modern-day Oliver McCall. Like the fictional Jason Voorhees, he just won't go away. He gets punched and punched and loses on occasion yet always seems to come back to life just when you think he's done for good.
