LAS VEGAS (May 24, 2024) — Junior welterweight prospect Emiliano Fernando Vargas is ready for the next step. The Las Vegas uber talent will fight in his first scheduled eight-rounder against battle-tested veteran Jose Zaragoza on Friday, June 21, inside BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Richard Torrez Jr. (10-0, 10 KOs) did exactly what he said he would do, and that was put on a show for his return to California. Torrez earned a fifth-round TKO victory over a tough Brandon Moore (14-3, 8 KOs) to highlight the undercard before the ESPN telecast.
Today, boxing world title fights take place around the globe and are more accessible to watch than ever before. Sometimes, however, certain championship bouts do not receive as much attention and go underreported.
