The night was originally budgeted as means for Rey Vargas to stay busy while figuring out what the immediate future has in store. Now, his upcoming bout with Dominican Republic's Lucian Gonzalez takes on a whole new dynamic, as his next fight could very well be for a title.
Vargas will serve in the chief support of Saturday's show in Metepec, Mexico, which airs live on Televisa. Headlining the show is a female junior flyweight title fight between Ibeth Zamora and Esmeralda Moreno.
On paper, the showdown with Gonzalez (21-8-2, 5KOs) figures to be a showcase performance for the 24-year old rising super bantamweight. In light of recent events, he now has added incentive to look good, particulalry if he wants to make a run at recently crowned champion Julio Ceja, who climbed off the canvas to knock out Hugo Ruiz in five rounds last weekend in Los Angeles, California.
"It's a matter of time before I get my shot at the world title," believes Vargas (24-0, 20KOs), who is trained by the legendary Nacho Beristain. "I think Ceja did everything he had to do to defeat a very tough opponent like Cuatito and is deservedly the new champion." [Click Here To Read More]
