    Intriguing match-up. Vargas has the height and reach advantage, however he doesn't have a history of winning fights by boxing from distance. Vargas has also lost to/struggled with smaller guys at the elite level (Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, even Adrien Broner to a degree). Mikey Garcia was dominated by Errol Spence Jr. in his last outing but I'm not gonna use that to completely write him off at 147. I favor Mikey 60-40 in this fight but Vargas is a live underdog. I will wait until the fight gets closer to offer an official prediction but as a fan, I like the fight.

      Vargas will be weight drained dropping back down to 147 . He drained himself fighting Broner as well.

        Idk who'll win but yeah Mikey was fat even at 140, the guy has no business fighting at welterweight.

          I like this fight! Texas is interesting, thought it would be in California for sure I don't get taking this one to Texas but a solid fight regardless

            Probably ends up being a fun fight. Still mad at Mikey for fighting Spence though.

              Good scrap, but pointless. Mikey is not a welterweight; should only fight at 147 big names and/or for titles. Absolutely nothing to gain beating Jessie at 147

                This is a good 50/50 but I wonder why not do it in Cali or las vegas that where the bigger mexican audiences are at.

                I got jessie winning a close decision

                    Mikey is too proud to be the B side vs A side Pacman. Mikey will not take lesser pay for a chance to retire 41 yr.old Pacman!?

                      Mikey and his "visions" aka seeing somthing will go down as one of the most bone head career moves in recent boxing history.
