Undefeated Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) takes on veteran Timothy Bradley Jr. (31-1-1, 12 KOs) in a fight that was supposed to be for the vacant WBO Welterweight title. Only Floyd Mayweather Jr. has yet to vacate it.
So what does this fight mean now, in regards to that title which may, or may not be vacated before the end of the year? I have no clue.
Miguel Iturrate posted a preview of the fight earlier in the week.
Vargas already has a title at a lower weight class, the WBA Light Welterweight belt. Bradley Jr. lost this belt to Manny Pacquiao a little over a year ago in April, 2014 in a unanimous decision.
Coverage starts on HBO at 9:45 p.m. EST.
