Vargas is washed up. So inactive.

Beefy takes this

didnt realize vargas hasnt fought in so long , beefster should outwork him. id take beefy anyway, but could be the difference between decision and stoppage

Yeh, he’s been busy campaigning..

Liam Smith loves to blow his nose during fights.

maybe giving vargas covid could pay dividends late

Vargas edging the rounds but he’s having to put loads in to it. Even though I’ve got Smith 2 down I’m more confident he’ll stop him than I was prefight

Great end to the round.

Both shook the other.

Vargas looked fucked afyer 8 mins.
Fights for the first 45 secs… gassed and getting beat up the rest.

Left hook to the body has been the shot that’s hurt Vargas every time the last 3 or 4 rounds.

I’d be looking for that shot if I was Liam.

Smashed and the first man to stop Jessie.
Very good win.

Great win for him.

Yeah Liam is bloody under rated isn’t he?

Some had it 50-50 going into the Fowler fight and he more or less made it look like Childs play.

Other than the usual slow start tonight he seemed in control.

Really good engine and technique and decent power. Hope he gets a world title shot.

Dunno where he goes from here? All the belts are tied up until later in the year. Can’t imagine he will be next in line to fight for all 4 belts.
Kurbanov rematch? Tsyzu in a final elimination fight?
Cash out against Eubank at middle?

liam's good for sure, but not sure why that would be rated as a greaat win?

vargas is a career 140-147 fighter and hadnt fought in 2.5 years, a loss to mikey garcia. he's won 1 fight in the last 5 years.

It’s just the way he went about it.

Smith isn’t seen as world level is he?

Maybe fringe world level?

I Dnuh. He held the world title for a few years, but Frank could probably get me a shot at the WBO belt if he wanted to.

Exactly why I called it very good and nothing more.

It was me who called it great.

I just got carried away a little.

Vargas was tough, but let's be real, he isn't up there with the best in the di ision.

Beefy is a solid pro though

Bellew has no socks on. He gets worse

Was a pretty clinical way to take care of business tbh. Inactivity or not… to stop Vargas is a bit of a standout.

probably top 10-15. very solid, but not up there with the full fledged world class of the division.

would love him vs timmy

inactivity, and the fact that vargas isnt a 154 pound fighter......his only previous fight there (well, a 150 catchweight) was vs a guy whose prime was at 130. if he keeps fighting full fledged 154ers expect a lot more stoppage losses

Taylor by robbery?

Will we get some river dance nonsense in the ring before the fight?

Hearn loves the cheesy edge

Reasonable points ,, but i stillliked the lok of Smith , clincal at the end , mixing his punches up looked good ,, will concede his opponent was a good one for him to look good

beefy's always done those things up to a certain level tbh. tonight he implemented it well, but it's really nothing new for him. i'd be worried for liam if he couldnt beat up vargas at this stage
