Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-05-11, another “classic” boxing fight between these two mexican warriors: Miguel Berchelt vs Francisco Vargas 2 is one of the best boxing fights of the year 2019 and it gets four stars!The Wbc super-Fw and former interim Wbo champion Miguel Berchelt entered this fight with a professional record of 35-1-0 (31 KOs=89%) and he is ranked as the No.1 super featherweight in the world. ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt suffered his only loss when he faced Luis Eduardo Florez in 2014, since then he has won 14 consecutive bouts beating Maxwell Awuku (Miguel Berchelt vs Maxwell Awuku), Jonathan Victor Barros (Miguel Berchelt vs Jonathan Victor Barros) and Miguel Roman in his last three (2018 Fight of the Year candidate, Miguel Berchelt vs Miguel Roman).
His opponent, the former Olympian and former Wbc super-Fw champ Francisco Vargas, has a boxing record of 25-1-2 (18 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since April 12, 2018 when he defeated Rod Salka (Francisco Vargas vs Rod Salka). Before this fight, in 2017, he had beat Stephen Smith in December (Francisco Vargas vs Stephen Smith) but he had also lost the first bout with Miguel Berchelt in January (4-stars fight, Vargas vs Berchelt I).

Brutal…as expected.
Very impressive fight due to the activity displayed. By far Miguel is a better boxer than Vargas performing a very precise defense with excellent body work. He easily overwhelmed Vargas due to the precision and power of the many punches he was able to connect. Vargas is really brave and started very well but in spite of his full-time aggression had a little chance against the beast he was fighting with.
Vargas looked like he got hit in the face with a shovel by the end of that fight!
