Jessie Vargas is known as “The Pride of Las Vegas” for a reason. He has been one of the most promising young boxers in recent memory as the winner of multiple title belts. Luck has turned some for Vargas however as he has lost two of his last four bouts and currently is without a championship. On April 21 he will continue his comeback trail with a matchup against Adrien Broner, a championship boxer in his own right. If Vargas can get past the well respected Broner he will be on the inside track for a shot at another title bout. But if he loses to Broner it would be a devastating blow to his future as a champion.
