Anyone looking foward to this? How do you see it going? Will Khan get another early KO or will Vargas take him the rounds? Not a fan of either fighters but i want to see some opinions as i want to put a bet on!
I actually thought you were taking about a potential fight in the future between Jessie Vargas and Khan, his next fight vs Samuel Vargas completely slipped my mind it’s so pointless
I might tune in if I'm at home. It's one of those with Khan now; his fights are usually entertaining, so worth a watch, but wouldn't go out of my way to do so. I reckon Khan in rds 5 or 6.
Khan looked like crap at the weigh in to me. He look soft and a lot better shape v le Greco. go back to his Collazo and Alexander 147 weigh ins look at the shape he is in for them fights and look at today's weigh in like chalk and cheese. interesting though he had the same strength and conditioning coach for all them fights !
I thought the same thing, Khan really didn't look good, probably taking this fight easy...Khan has to be careful taking these kinds of fights it really wouldn't surprise me if he lost. Saying that i will stick a few quid on Khan for the KO in round 4-6.
I wouldn't be surprised at the upset mate what odds is Vargas? I don't no deep down does Khan really want to get back to the top, I think he obvious!y missed the big fight nights but he looks awful compared to like I say the old 147 fights under Hunter. we will have to wait and see mate!
Vargas is way too easy to hit, everything Garcia threw at him seemed to land no matter what angle it came in at, he's pretty sturdy so will probably go rounds, but also wouldn't surprise if he's overwhelmed like Lo Greco was.
Normally these kind of fights don't interest me odds wise. However Khan is another year or so older since his KO loss, doesnt look in particularly great shape at the weigh-in (by past standards). Having seen him be put down and rocked even by light punchers, I think there is probably some value on Vargas, as his price will drift before the fight. Like all well known favourites the money will be lumped on Khan and he will probably win but he's not the same fighter he was a few years ago and the odds won't reflect that imo, so worth a small wager on Vargas.
Vargas will have to produce a performance of Truax like proportions whilst at the same time Khan having a sharp injury induced decline like Degale, for there to be a shock here. The last time he stopped someone, the fella was 44 years old. Vargas couldn’t knock a jenga tower down. He pushes with his shots, there’s no real zip to them. He’s not exactly elusive moving in to throw a shot either, Khan will pepper him everytime he throws shots. Hearn knows exactly what he’s doing here. I’m looking forward to the undercard more than this cannon fodder.
I dont think he's struggling if anything I think he has taken the cut too easy. It still looks like he could cut a few more lbs with ease
Didn't see the weigh in so might be wrong. Just heard he had to strip right down. Will watch it tomorrow but not too excited about it. Looking forward to Ggg v canelo next week though
