Jessie Vargas has shown patience in the past, but did so with the hope of bigger things to come in his promising career. Now comes the hard part—having to sit on a loss while unsure of what the immediate future holds.
Attempting to control his own destiny, Vargas has intiated—on his own—a formal protest with the California State Athletic Commission over the controversial outcome of his June 27 welterweight title fight with Tim Bradley in Carson, California.
The grounds for the appeal stem from Vargas believing he was cheated upwards of 10 seconds for the fight to properly run its course.

High drama ensued, but ended in anti-climactic fashion when referee Pat Russell mistook the 10-second warning for the final bell, jumping in to stop the fight.
