Defended his belt in 2019 against Kiko Martinez what a joke ♂️.

Annual defence lol classic. In any event it’s a good matchup and I’m looking forward to it. I’m guessing this one will be on showtime rather than FOX unfortunately

Gary throws shoeshine punches and Vargas is a runner. Gonna be a terrible fight.

Oh god Rey Vargas...yeah it’s gonna be a stinker when he’s involved

13 months outta the ring & no date for the next fight yet. GRJ's career is so underwhelming for the talent he has. Funny thing is Rey ain't fought in 19 months.

I ain't mad at this fight doe. Rey is a top 3 guy GRJ will have fought & might be the best guy he's beaten if he wins or 2nd best worst case.

That said I'd rather be watching GRJ vs Devin or Tank or probably 4 or 5 other guys.

A step up from his 11-0 opponent a years ago.
