Vargas fought Timothy Bradley on June 27, 2015 at Stubhub Center.
Bradley pretty much dominated the exchanges throughout, punishing Vargas repeatedly to the body and head
While absorbing major damage, Vargas had showed the ability to hurt Bradley and with 20 seconds left in round 12 landed a massive punch that buckled Bradley"s knees and had him stumbling across the ring. Vargas followed him and landed 2 more head shots before being tied up near the ropes. The referee heard the 10 second warning and mistakenly signaled that the fight was over with 7-8 seconds remaining.
Vargas believed he had TKO"d Bradley and celebrated atop the turnbuckle.
When order was restored it was ruled that the referee"s mistake was impossible to fix and the fight would go to the scorecards. Bradley, at that point, deserved the unanimous decision.
Vargas has called for a rematch.
