Pretty good last second replacement.

I'm sure sparring with Canelo has him in good fight shape.

Not terrible I guess, Forbes seems about the level of guy he has been facing.

I would expect Vargas to outwork him but it should test him a bit.

Had the opportunity to meet and chat with Stevie a few months back. One cool dude. Lets get it done Forbes!
