Foster gonna stop him late!!!!

Not everything is about record's on paper.  Vargas could've (should've) lost his last fight,he also started out 3 weight classes below.
Foster, has a couple of losses doesn't have the World Championship experience, but IMO he's on the way up as Vargas is heading down.

It's definitely a close fight though that could go either way. I'm happy to see that this is actually becomin  a more common thing in boxing nowadays. Still only the main event is a 50/50,60/40 fight. Maybe even another 1 or 2 50/50s(there's another 1 on this card between the Heavies!) If we're lucky!! Better than squash matches from Top to bottom though like we were getting for the past decade!!!

Vargas vs. Foster
O'Shaquie Foster, TKO, R10
Like I mentioned above I like the slight betting underdog here too. 1 double I have is Pero KO, Foster win at 3.5/1 (+350 for the US

Barrios vs. Santiago
Mario Barrios, TKO, R9
Barrios being given a nice gift here after back to back tough nights vs Thurman and Tank. Santiago is also coming off back to back tough defeats, 1 an ass beating from the better of the young Gary Russell bros. The other defeat was actually a win but those DAMN judges robbed him and gifted Broner. I'd take more from the Russell defeat than the Broner "defeat" in terms of Santiago skill level. Actually, it says more about how washed Broner is than anything!!!!! Anyway!!!!! This fight, Barrios will accept the good will gesture and build some confidence with a dominant win. I think he'll get the mid to late roundstoppage

Pero vs. Faust
Lenier Pero, TKO, R3
Why is Faust the favorite???? Did nobody watch him going life and death with Kiladze???? Obviously not. Obviously not many people know about Cuban World Amateur Champions either!!!! Pero,,IMHO, should be -500 not the pick em odds Vegas are giving. Pero is someone I am backing big with my real life bookie!!!! (With my Ā£100 per month MAX bet account!!!!hahaha!!)

I am sniffing Mario Barrios at -600. He has a judicious armpit slam and a trendy uppercut. Barrios must kindle the performance.

Vargas was runawaking for Brandon Figueroa from the moment he was told in the Vargas-Magsayo post fight that Figueroa was going to be the mandatory challenger. It's good that Foster beat Vargas and avoid him from entering the list of 3 weight category champions from Mexico, now it will be interesting to know if he dares to defend the championship against Figueroa or he looks for an excuse to fight against another or leave the championship vacant.

PBC is planning a Fulton vs. Figueroa 2 for the vacant championship a couple of weeks ago, but that fight was already fizzled.
Fulton and Inoue have long thought about the possibility of facing each other and that fight could be the way for the "Monster" to enter the Top 10 best boxers in history. On the other hand, Figueroa will go for an interim title against Masaygo

Figueroa is 1 of my favourite action fighters.  He just doesn't stop throwing punches!!!! I'm 1 of the people that believe Figueroa should've gotten the decision over Fulton!!!! Of course it was no robbery, it was an awesome, razor close action fight that could've went either way.

About Vargas, I also doubt that he'll fight Figueroa next, he'll be hoping that Magsayo wins that fight.

The fight I really want to see at Featherweight is Brandon Figueroa vs winner of next weekends Leigh Wood Bronco Lara fight.

Imagine the chaos, especially if its Lara vs Figueroa!!!!!

Another guy who is going to challenge for no.1 Featherweight is Robeisy Ramirez.  Completely different style of boxer from th  Figueroa/Lara wild style that I love but Ramirez has adapted his excellent 2x Olympic Gold medal winning Cuban amateur style to the pro game better and better as each fight passes
 A supreme technical boxer who has developed the ability to take people out!!!!

Featherweight could be a great division over the next few years.  Of course,  as always with boxing, we just have to hope that they'll actually face off vs each other.

Someone needs to bring back the World Boxing Super Series.   Loo at the winners of the previous tournaments.  Usyk and Inoue. All World class, all time greats!!!

Figueroa is a warrior who always goes back and forth. Many people dismiss him because of the "Pretty Boy" stigma, but 
Figueroa has shown that he has hands and can take punches. 

I agree with you that Figueroa beat Fulton, Fulton was about to be stopped a good couple of times in that fight, it is difficult for me to understand that for the judges in that fight Fulton Jr. won 6 or more rounds.

And of course, Vargas will be supporting with all his Magsayo: Vargas against Figueroa has 0 chances to use his scope or reach as against his other opponents and very likely Heartbreaker will stop him (Magsayo managed to knock him down and the decision of that fight was also controversial).
