another lo greco type

[3132DW]

Solid enough fight - Vargas last 2 defeats to Garcia/Spence - otherwise solid fringe level operator to get Khan rounds.

[Taansend]

I fly into England that day.

How much are tickets?

They’ll be released Monday most likely.

[Ruthless-RKO]

At least he’s a fringe name.

Brook’s opponent id a nobody.

[ILikeBeer]

Vargas, but brutal first round KO.

[jamamb]

At least he’s a fringe name.

Brook’s opponent id a nobody.

brooks opponent actually has a win better then any of vargass. steve butlers a better fighter then vargas and all the guys vargas beat at the time. and vargas wins are pretty well padded...who are the best of them and which show vargas superior to cook? vargas isnt a good opponrnt to try one upmanship with

vargas recognition, if he has any, is just in being a punch bag for higher profile fighters

30-3-1 looks good, but not much value on it at all, lets not act like record padding merits credibility

[Taansend]

At least he’s a fringe name.

Brook’s opponent id a nobody.

He's well ranked though

[Ruthless-RKO]

[paddy chavez]

A little surprised he's a full time welterweight

[Cazelo]

You think it's a ploy to fool people a bit. When I read it today I thought they'd got Jessie Vargas,

[bigjack]

I've gone for Vargas as Khan has so far lost to every Colombian he's ever fought

Good shout.

Khan: Vargas Bout is Likely Eliminator For Pacquiao-Matthysse

According to British star Amir Khan, his upcoming fight with Samuel Vargas could become a final eliminator for the WBA "regular" world title.

If that happens, and should Khan win, he would be in line for a showdown with the winner of the upcoming bout between WBA "regular" welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse and challenger Manny Pacquiao.

[Counter-puncher]

[Ruthless-RKO]

Khan wants to force a Pacquiao fight. Is that still a HUGE fight? Or just another fight now.

[SenorPipino]

I didn't realize these WBA regular titles were so desirable.

After all these years and all his titles, I wonder if Pac is actually juiced about the chance to win this regular title.

Maybe it means a little bit more to Khan, whose championship reigns aren't particularly memorable.

And why would Sammy Vargas be involved in any type of championship eliminate?

He just wants to fight Pacman. That’s the truth. He’s trying to piece the puzzles.

Vargas looks like Jessie Lingard’s fat brother after a long soak in a tub of bleach.

Khan will murder this joker

Khan will be too fast for him. Plus he’s got bit more power behind his punches since his op.

Undercard Update

Tommy Langford aims to claim back the British middleweight title when he takes on fellow Midlander Jason Welborn in a rematch on the card, while Gamal Yafai and Sam Eggington will feature.

It was already announced, too, that Ryan Kelly will defend his Midlands Area super-welterweight title against Kelcie Ball.

But it has now been confirmed that Lewis Ritson, the outright British lightweight champion, will box on the bill before making his comeback in his hometown of Newcastle on October 13 at the Metro Radio Arena.

Osman Aslam, the man who boxed on Khan’s April obliteration of Phil Lo Greco, gets another outing, while there will be action for Kieron Conway and Shakan Pitters.

Scott Fitzgerald also on undercard against Craig Morris.
Hopefully he comes through this easily so he can knock Anthony Fowlers down a peg or two.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Steven Donnelly and Sean McComb only made their professional debuts last weekend –– but the Northern Irish duo have already been given new fight dates.

The pair, who were showcased as part of the supporting cast to Carl Frampton's WBO interim featherweight world title defence against previously unbeaten Australian Luke Jackson, were successful on their bows in the paid code on the same card as Tyson Fury's victory over Francesco Pianeta.

And both Donnelly and McComb, who are trained by Ray Ginley and Danny Vaughan respectively, got to see the former unified world heavyweight champion from ringside after their own wins before learning what their next move would be.

They will both see action in England next month, having been added to the supporting cast of Amir Khan's next fight.
