I've seen a very limited amount of footage on Omotoso, just from undercards he'd been on and some random clips on youtube. As others have said, his power seems impressive, but he has some really bag habits and tends to get frustrated easily.
Based on everything I've seen from both guys I wouldn't expect Omotoso to beat Vargas tonight.
Here's some vids for 'ya to check out, incase you hadn't seen them.
Here's the KO from the Koswara fight.
Here's a link to his fight with Larry Smith, as well.

EDIT : And here's his fight with Daniel Sostre, picked up from round 3.

The only way Omotoso can win this fight in my eyes is to land a hail mary punch that puts Vargas in deep ****. He could probably break Vargas down with body punching since he has such nasty power, but I've not seen anything from Omotos thus far that indicates he's intelligent enough to go that route.
He'll likely be headhunting all night long and missing wildly en route to a UD loss.
