Takashi Miura vs Francisco Vargas

---

In a brutal battle between two warriors, on the undercard of Miguel Cotto vs Saul Alvarez, Francisco Vargas outfights a brave, dangerous Takshi Miura in a closely fought all out war, and in doing so, he wins the WBC world super featherweight title. This bout is all the more appreciated on account if the fact that it was in the same evening as a very unpopular, very lacklustre contest between the skilled and talented but not so popular Guillermo Rigondeaux, and an opponent who wasn't up to standard.
