Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-12-02, pretty good fight between Rey Vargas and Oscar Negrete: it gets three stars.Both undefeated, the Wbc super-Bw champion Rey Vargas entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 30-0-0 (22 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.4 super bantamweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Guillermo Rigondeaux) while his opponent, Oscar Negrete, has an official record of 17-0-0 (7 knockouts) and he entered as the No.16 bantamweight. Both boxers have fought twice in 2017: Vargas has defeated Gavin McDonnell (=Vargas vs McDonnell) and Ronny Rios (=Vargas vs Rios) while Negrete has beat Victor Ruiz and Sergio Frias (=Negrete vs Frias). Vargas vs Negrete is valid for the WBC World super bantamweight title (Vargas’ second defense); undercard of Miguel Cotto vs Sadam Ali. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Damn, I love watching Vargas fight. This was nearly as good as the brutal contest with Rios in the fall, if more lopsided. Much credit to the fearless Negrete who tries every way he can to negate the huge physical advantage of the champion. But you can have the heart of a tiger, and a mountain is still a mountain. And this mountain keeps bashing your liver!
Let’s hope we see Rios move up to meet Loma one day. And speaking of Loma, the biggest Christmas present in boxing is just around the corner…
Arjay Cee: I like very much your comment which said almost everything. No doubts that it is quite difficult to fight a guy like Vargas who is too tall for this category and in top of it when rivals get close he knows very well how to fight short.
