The Draw

LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 28: Mikey Garcia enters the ring for his WBC & IBF World Lightweight Title ... [+]

GETTY IMAGESToday In: Innovation

With a record of 39-1 with 30 KO and multiple world titles on his resume, Garcia is unquestionably one of boxing’s elite fighters. Because of his status in the sport, any time he takes the ring, a certain amount of attention is warranted.

This fight with Vargas is more intriguing because Garcia is continuing his efforts to become a title contender and eventual champion at 147 pounds. In March 2019, Garcia was thoroughly beaten by Errol Spence, and it looked as if the weight was too much for him to carry.

Despite the loss and weight conundrum, Garcia is matched with Vargas, a fighter who has had competitive fights with noteworthy opponents like Thomas Dulorme, Adrien Broner, and Timothy Bradley.

If nothing else, Vargas is expected to give maximum effort and to present a legitimate test of Garcia’s fit for the welterweight division. If Garcia is unable to get past Vargas, it will be difficult to justify his continued presence at 147 pounds.
