He was looking sharp, feeling very strong but when you have your opponent who also has a gameplan, who also has experience, the amateur experience, the speed, the height, that\u2019s something Vargas worked on and used the first few rounds, and gave us a little bit of trouble the first three-four rounds. It wasn\u2019t easy. But look, that\u2019s what a real champion does. They go out, they follow the gameplan and execute it the way they do and Vargas was doing it. Vargas was a champion. He\u2019s a legit fighter. We can\u2019t underestimate him. On the other hand, same thing with \u2018Bam.\u2019 He was moving up in weight. He knew it wasn\u2019t going to be easy, he was able to adjust quick and follow instructions and took care of business. That\u2019s what a real champion does.
