Interesting match-up. Both guys will be extremely motivated, and I think it will make for a good fight.

Looking forward to this!

Also, anyone reading this, why has my rep gone completely red with 0?

People are giving Vargas a shot because Bradley is flat-out overrated. People go on as if he is this slick fighter with great head movement, ring I.Q and counterpunching ability the reality is he is a wildman, a total overachiever who can't stick to a gameplan (b-b-but Marquez doe).
Honestly they talk as if the guy has elite skills.

Fact: Bradley would have won the second Pacquiao fight had he not changed strategy (to your point about changing gameplans). Pacquiao's averageness was on shine in the first four rounds of that fight, because if Bradley is nothing more than "a wildman", what's that make Pacquiao if he was able to contain Pac so well?

Bradley has skill, he just has a crappy trainer.

I don't think Bradley has ever thoroughly outboxed anyone.

Lamont Peterson.
Juan Marquez (which is NO small achievement)
Diego Chaves (despite what corrupt judges say).
Luis Abregu.

The pattern with those fights is that Bradley stuck to a gameplan. It's when he fails to do that, is when he starts getting taxed.

War Bradley, one of the hardest working dudes in the sport. A real role model. Can't wait.

Bradley will school the one dimensional, slow, plodding Vargas if he doesnt get dragged into a mindless brawl.

[-MEGA-]

I wouldn't miss the opening bell of this one

Will be action packed from the get-go

Fight of the year candidate written all over it

A 12 round brawl

Bradley takes it.

He will be better , more skilled in the exchanges

Vargas should use his reach and throw straight punches
