Let’s get this out of the way when it comes to Saturday’s co-main event between Fernando Vargas Jr. and Callum Walsh: these are the fights we don’t usually get in boxing anymore. Two unbeaten prospects with a combined 31-0 record (26 knockouts) competing in a fight that they could have let “marinate” for a few years like many rising stars do.
Not Vargas and Walsh. They want to fight, and they’re going to with the world watching at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas before headliners Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford make the walk.
