September thirteenth, part of the Canelo Álvarez vs. Bud Crawford undercard on Netflix (along with Christian M'billi Assomo-Hallier vs. Lester Normandy Martínez Tut at super middleweight). Ten rounds at super welterweight. Walsh is currently ranked IBF #4, WBC #5, and WBO #14 - while Vargas Jr. is yet to crack any of the Big Four major orgs' top fifteen rankings. Somebody's "oh" has got to go; Walsh is 14-0 with eleven knockouts and Vargas is 17-0 with fifteen. Both this bout and M'billi vs. Martínez feature combatants 30 years of age or under putting their zeroes on the line - and in everyone's case but Vargas', their world ranking. Southpaw versus southpaw. Identical reaches of 72", one inch height advantage for the Irishman over the Oxnard Chicano.
Emiliano has the most potential of the three but always fun to watch a scrap with 2 undefeated fighters.
They have been calling eachother out over the last year, so I'm glad they're finally getting it on, this is the toughest fight of both their careers! War Vargas Jr
