Francisco Vargas vs. Miguel Berchelt on Jan 28 for WBC belt

[Ruthless-RKO]

In his highly anticipated return from back-to-back Fight of the Year performances, WBC Super Featherweight Champion Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas (23-0-2, 17 KOs) will open 2017 defending his title against fellow Mexican brawler and WBO Interim Super Featherweight champion Miguel "El Alacran" Berchelt (30-1, 27 KOs) in a 12-round sure-fire all-action fight on January 28 from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.

In the 12-round televised special feature of the slugfest in the desert, Vargas' 2015 Fight of the Year opponent and former WBC Super Featherweight World Champion Takashi Miura (30-3-2, 23 KOs) of Akita, Japan, will build on his reputation of fighting the best when he goes head-to-head with former featherweight and lightweight contender Miguel "Mickey" Roman (56-11, 43 KOs) of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

"Boxing fans know what to expect every time I step in to the ring - and that is a war," Vargas said. "I am aware of my opponent's knockout power, but he's never faced a true world champion, and I am confident I will come out on top."

Brilliant fight this.

I've seen a couple of Berchelts fights and liked the look of him. He might win this one.
