Palms Casino Report, Las Vegas, USA. American lightweight (up to 61.2 kg)
Emiliano Vargas (2-0, 2 KOs), the son of ex-world champion Fernando Vargas, coped with his compatriot
Julio Martinez (1-1, 1 KO).
In the opening round, Vargas landed a great short left hook – a cool knockout, you will definitely like it.
THE KID HAS GOT THE GOODS.

Vargas KO 1.
Also in lightweight (up to 61.2 kg), American prospect Carlos Balderas (14-1, 12 KOs) knocked out the Mexican
Esteban Sanchez (18-3, 8 KOs).
The favorite was a little taken aback, because the underdog worked aggressively, threw out dangerous and fast multi-hit combinations. Balderas missed more than he should have, his jab constantly failed, but he could win ahead of schedule already in the opening round – he beautifully intercepted the attack with a left hook.
INTO THE ROPES!

Balderas TKO 8.
