Vargas and Foster alight to delight

Undefeated two-division world champion Rey Vargas and top contender O’Shaquie Foster fight for the vacant World Boxing Council super-featherweight title, Saturday night, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

After a great career at 122 pounds and after an outstanding performance to become world champion at 126 pounds in his previous fight, Vargas will look to add a title in three different divisions. He will do everything he can to defeat Foster, who has won nine straight fights to put himself in position to fight for the title.

Vargas (36-0, 22 KOs) was last seen in action in July, when he rose from the canvas to secure a twelve-round decision victory over Mark Magsayo.
Foster (19-2, 11 KOs) saw action in Dubai in March, when he defeated undefeated Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov by twelve round decision in a fight for the WBC Silver title.
Both fighters showed that they are in great shape for this important fight, in the official weigh-in of the evening.
Vargas registered 129.4 pounds, while Foster stopped the scale at 129.5 pounds.
