Vargas beats Kameda by unanimous decision

Boxing

CARSON, Calif. — In an often awkward and ugly affair at the Dignity Health Sports Park, Rey Vargas retained his WBC junior featherweight title by outpointing Japanese challenger Tomoki Kameda on Saturday night.

All three judges scored the fight 117-110 for Vargas.

Loud boos poured in at the end of the bout and after the decision was rendered, because while Vargas (34-0, 22 KOs) was effective, he was far from exciting.

Kameda (36-3, 20 KOs) certainly tried his best to make a fight, but his efforts were mostly futile.
