Vargas is 29 years old and 28-2-2 with only 10 KO’s. His two losses were to Pacman and Tim Bradley. His two draws were to Adrien Broner and Thomas Dulorme. I consider him to be a A- fighter. He doesn't have many KO’s but he throws heavy shots. He has a good jab and respectable defense with a good chin. He does have a bad habit of dropping his head when he throws punches. He throws 50 punches an hour on average but can be way to patient. I consider him to have a “Give & Take ” style.
Soto is 38 years old with a 69-9-2 record with 37 KO’s. He’s a “pro’s pro” and a wily veteran. He’s basically been fighting on the “seniors tour” the last few years as he is definitely in the very twilight of his career. He has quick hands and likes to throw punches in combination. He has a big engine and a tremendous uppercut. His best weight was at 140 lbs but now fights at 150 and looks out of shape,. He’s only lost one time since 2012 but has fought only mediocre competition.
Prediction:
Vargas has a 4 inch height advantage and has fought at welterweight since 2014. Soto looks more toned than he did in his last fight but still looks flabby at 150 LBS. I think this will be a war of attrition as both will get after it and Soto will have success early as he catches Vargas with uppercuts when Vargas ducks his head. In the second half of the fight, Vargas will wear Soto down and stop him late.
