Glad Foster is finally getting his shot.

Good matchup

Looking only at his record this seems like an easy win for Vargas. Granted I’ve never seen Foster fight that I can remember.

Wasting crawfords time and not wanting to pay him has let pbc make some fights lol

This is a 50/50 fight. Kind of like foster. Amazingly, lsc continues to avoid fighting anyone. How he has not been stripped is mind boggling.

Great to see PBC and Probellum working together

Great to see Al Haymon’s PBC and Daniel Kinahan’s Probellum working together

This will not be an easy win. I think it will be a 115-113 kind of fight.

Vargas has the height and reach, but he is too tinny to fight in this division.

His arms and legs are tinny, he is like a skeleton.

Bad and risky move.

He is a great fighter with great boxing IQ.

But he is moving to dark waters in 130

Dam Foster finally getting a shot against an elite guy for a title. Got off to rocky start with those early L's but he's gotten much better since. Vargas is a huge step up in comp for him even if Vargas is moving up again. Should be a very intriguing matchup.
