    Vargas is a good fighter. Bam is just special.

    Round 1 Vargas 10-9
    Round 2 Rodriguez 10-9
    Round 3 Vargas 10-9
    Round 4 Vargas 10-9
    Round 5 Rodriguez 10-8
    Round 6 Rodriguez wins by KO

    Bam rocks him with another left. Bam crowding him, keeping him in the corner. Vargas goes to the body. Bam backs off. Vargas backing him to the ropes. Big left drops Vargas, the ref waves it off.

    Bam was struggling a bit, then turned it up and ended things.

    definitely needs more fights at this weight. Not ready for Inoue though.

    And just like that Bam wins by KO. He had a pretty competitive start but once he connected with a big punch it was over.

    As expected that was a statement performance. Let’s see if he’ll fight one more fight or jump straight to Inoue.

    Hate to wait too long to make it happen, but I hope Bam takes a bit of time before jumping in with Inoue. Another quick 4 pound jump to meet the hardest hitting little man in the game? Yikes.

    I didn't think he had anything for Inoue before this fight, and this fight doesn't change that. If Bam fights him next then Inoue will get his first stoppage for a while.

    Inoue has been dropped by lefties but I think he beats Bam.

    Vargas had good success and landed many clean shots. Inoue does the exact same thing with more speed and power.
