Antonio Vargas vs. Jesse Rodriguez: Prediction
With the power and accuracy of Rodriguez, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him over Vargas. The challenger has been susceptible to counters, and Rodriguez is a good puncher, which is why I think he’ll be able to find the chin of Vargas.
Rodriguez’s movement and elusiveness will also cause problems for Vargas, as he won’t be able to hit him. Additionally, Rodriguez likes to attack both the head and body of his opponents, which effectively gives them different types of looks.
