Can’t wait to see this one. Does Vargas (31-6-2, 14 KO) pull the upset this time, or will Benn (17-0, 11 KO) roll on to another win?
I like Vargas fine in this role, he’s tough and scrappy, he brings the fight. Tough dude. Warrior. And so on. But unless he catches Benn cold, I think this winds up another fight Vargas valiantly loses, either by a wide score or a late stoppage, and I think Benn will want the late stoppage. Benn’s physical gifts are such that once he has Vargas worn down and discouraged, he should be able to take a risk and just overwhelm the vet late. Benn has made serious improvements over the last couple of years, and Vargas doesn’t have the power to make a big difference no matter how hard he tries. (He dropped Amir Khan, but then so did Willie Limond. Was Willie Limond a banger now?) Benn TKO-9
