    Seems like Khabib might end up defending his WBA 140 title against Jesse Vargas on the undercard of Pacquaio next ppv on 4-12.

    This is as 50/50 as it gets.

    I was real high on Allahkverdiev coming up, but as his LOC increased, his flaws became more and more visible.
    Vargas isnt a puncher, so this will play into Khabibs favor, but Vargas does well going to the body and this will limit KAs volume making for a really closish fight.

    If Vargas wins, being a Mayweather fighter, he'll no doubt be fed to Broner on his return.:patsch:patsch:patsch

    Vargas left Mayweather after the Cotto undercard. I'm surprised he's moving back to 140, he has good size at 147. I really like Vargas as a future top WW and hope TR starts investing in him. He's still really young and has a good style.

    Vargas is being matched though but my only concern is that can he make 140 without any trouble.
