The 26-year-old fighter took a big step in his career by winning the regional crown against a good opponent like the South American.
It was the fourth knockout in a row for the Houston native, who is on a good streak and hasn’t lost a fight since 2019. He now waits for better opportunities and starts to make a name for himself in the tough 118-pound division.
With his victory, Vargas reached 16 wins, 1 loss and 9 knockouts, while Banquez left his aftertaste at 20 wins, 3 losses and 14 defined by knockout.
