Emiliano Vargas predicts he will be world champion inside “Three or four battles” After his first 42 -second round over Alexander Eapinoza in a light welterweight fight last Saturday night in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
The competition tightened
The 21-year-old Emiliano (15-0, 13 COs) will have to act after the world-class opposition, which begins with his next battle, to realize his vision of capturing a world title within ‘three or four fights’. The top rank has conservatively the son of former two-section world champion Fernando Vargas, and exclusively against poor opposition to its record bloating.
This is the same formula that used the top rank for Xander Zayas, Keyshawn Davis, Bruce Carrington and Edgar Berlanga. In Emilian’s case, it was even more blatant, perhaps because he was the son of a popular ex-world champion.
Fans want to see what Emiliano can do at 140 against top-level opposition. He can hit clearly, but he is not yet linked to fighters who can strike back.

Emiliano did not have a spectacular amateur career like some of Top Rank’s other fighters, such as Vasily Lomachenko and Keyshawn. But this is a reason for them to fit him against such a poor opposition that does nothing to develop him.
Build a ppv -star
If vargas were still in the amateur rankings, he would fight better opposition than he was in the pro ranks. This indicates that he deliberately matches subpar positions to develop him into a marketable fighter, possibly converting him into a PPV fighter or ticket seller to become a money maker.
“It’s a pit stop. It’s a beautiful belt (NABF Junior Welterweight title), but I want the WBC, the IBF, the WBO and the WBA,” Emiliano Vargas says to the media at the Press conference after battle Last Saturday night after his first destruction of Alexander Espinoza.
“I’ve always said that. I’m going to be world champion. It’s not a handy thing. I’ll be world champion in three or four fights soon,” Emiliano said.
