dude would get iced...I've only seen a bit of J. Vargas, but from what I've seen... Prov is too much for him

[The Gambler1981]

Tough to see that, Vargas has some skills and talent but he would have to put it all together to really have a chance and I haven't seen anything like that from him that would suggest he could outbox Provodnikov without getting drawn into a fight that favors Provodnikov.

Although if he makes it ugly and clinches on the inside where Provodnikov has the big advantage he could make it a lot closer than most people will think, I think he is much too young and inexperienced to approach the fight in a cold calculating manner like that

Probably Can.

Dude aint no Mike, Mike runs in a lil hop and doesnt throw, when mike throws he stops.

Vargas can box, and herrera beat Ruslan with ease.

That's a good opponent for Ruslan after facing back to back punchers. I don't think Vargas is a tuneup, but he doesn't hit hard.

from what i've seen from Ruslan and Vargas. I'd favor Ruslan by TKO in the mid rounds

[Bushidō]

Provodnikov is beatable but definitely not by Vargas

[beast702]

This kid has nothing to offer anyone honestly. He hasn't done anything or beat anyone. Vargas needs to fight a pulse then later on get a bigger fight but that ain't happening anytime soon.

[El Angel]

Vargas can't hang with Ruslan. Josesito should have gotten the decision over him FFS.

I actually wouldn't mind this fight as a first title defense.
