    Former WBC 130 lb. champion Francisco Vargas (24-1-2, 17 KOs) had to battle hard tonight to defeat Stephen Smith (25-4, 15 KOs) by a 9th round technical decision on HBO Boxing After Dark at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    The fight was halted at the end of the 9th due to a cut the 32-year-old Smith had suffered a bad cut to his ear.

    The judges scored it 89-82, 88-83, and 88-83. Boxing News were scored it 89-82 for Vargas. Smith had a chance to win if he’d been willing to slug it out, but he did too much holding in each round.
