What is your outcome? From what you said I think you want Benn to win but understand that he needs to change what he has done previously.
I think they have a maybe similar style but Vargas has done it at a much higher level.
Benn will defo be lured into a tear up, if he stays back and picks him off I will be surprised
Have to think Benn will adjust as needed. He should have more options of the two. But no doubt Vargas will be volume pressure. It'll be on Benn to keep busy pick his spots and get needed respect but not go wide and wild with it. Vargas will take 4 to get in 1 but last I saw he can keep it tight inside with counters and shows a bit of some old school guile. A tko for Benn would be massive if he's serious about running with the bigger names at 147 or he can stink it out and look for a Khan showcase at home

I cannot disagree with you mate. You have an absolute sound mind idea of how this should go.
My thoughts have always been that benn is hugely open to left hooks, and I do not think Vargas has huge LH power. However based on the Peynaud fight, I feel Benn will fall short here. Peynaud Is not Vargas and I have not seen enough improvement in Benn since then to think he can win.
But hey, I understand boxing, I have done for decades, however I am 50/50 all the time lol
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
