Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-09-05, some good exchanges between Rey Vargas and Lucian Gonzalez but it is not enough to get three stars, it gets two.The undefeated Rey Vargas entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 24-0-0 (20 KOs=83%) and he is ranked as the No.14 super bantamweight in the world. He has fought twice in 2015 defeating Nestor Hugo Paniagua (=Vargas vs Paniagua) and Edward Mansito (=Vargas vs Mansito).
His opponent, Lucian Gonzalez, has an official record of 21-8-2 (5 knockouts) and he suffered his last loss in 2013 when he faced AJ Banal, since then he has won five consecutive bouts. Vargas vs Gonzalez is on the undercard of Ibeth Zamora Silva vs Esmeralda Moreno. Watch the video and rate this fight!

A fight good enough for 3 starts. Lucian put a very good fight against a rival supposed to be a hard puncher and definitely with a big reach advantage. It was funny how Vargas went to the canvas in the second round after bragging asking Lucian to come forward and hit him.
However, i don’t understand why Vargas with his physical advantages and perfect record selected a boxer of low qualifications. I would like to see him against better opposition to determine his real capabilities.
