Teddy Atlas gives Callum Walsh an advantage against Fernando Vargas Jr. In the 10-round fight on the younger average weight in the amount of Undercard Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford on Saturday evening, September 13.
Unverified talents in the spotlight
Atlas likes the speed and amateur pedigree that Walsh (14-0, 11 KO) has for him in this fight with Vargas Jr. (17-0, 15 KO). He notes, however, that none of these fighters “was in deep waters” against challenging opposition. They are perspectives and part of the Turk’s idea Alalshikha to load a failed card with “hungry” fighters who receive a chance to see.
Fans overlooked the Walsh-Vargas Jr. And they focused on one half-gemia on the undercard between pretenders about supercreenists Christian Mbilli and Lester Martinez.
“None of these guys were in deep waters. They are both undefeated and they are both carefully built,” said Atlas on his Teddy YouTube Channel, talking about Callum Walsh vs. Fernando Vargas Jr. On Saturday evening in Las Vegas. “They were not yet unsafe places and it is essential that after reaching this place you have the memory you have previously been in this area.”
Atlas raises a good right about Walsh and Vargas Jr. that they were not tested against high -quality opposition before. As he notes, they were “carefully” matched because they did not show the type of abilities that indicate that they are able to post 154-pound 154-pound, such as Sebastian Fund, Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz Jr., whether it matters.
Stepping stone to fame
Walsh seems to fight at the subordinate level and does not look ready to fight the 15 best fighters in the 154-pound division. He still receives a concert of the factor of this card, but he did nothing to deserve this place in the Saturday event. He will be seen by many hardcore and free boxing fans. The idea is for Walsh to look like 24 -carat gold against Vargas Jr. to attach to the fans into transforming him into a star in the game in the Zuff boxing league.
“Both are still incomplete. Vargas did not have a lot of amateur origin, just like his father. Walsh has better amateur origin, and this is essential. Walsh has a better hand speed than Vargas. None of them is striking, which is suggested by their records, because they were placed there with carefully selected opponents. This is one thing that throws guys from a lower level, but you can do it higher level? “
Walsh’s record as an amateur in Ireland is 44-9, but he did not fight the latest talents from around the world. He fought mainly in Dublin, Ireland. His opposition is lacking as a professional. He has not fought significant fighters since Turning Pro in 2021.
Walsh is juvenile enough to continue to develop as a professional, but he did not show what power suggests that he could compete with the opposition at the highest level level. Considering that Walsh is expected to be part of the boxing league Dana White, he may not have to worry about fighting sharks at the age of 154.

Interestingly, Vargas Jr. He is seen as a step to Walsh, which shows how carefully he was matched. Vargas Jr. He is not a world warrior and is perceived by many fans as the son of the former world champion Fernando Vargas.
The one who received the most buzz from fans is Emiliano Vargas. None of the sons was tailored to the high -level opposition. Vargas Jr. He is an ideal opponent of Walsh to gain popularity among random boxing fans in the boxing Zuff Dan White. Without Walsh with a fight, it’s best to get 154, his chances of becoming a huge name are confined.
“I give Walsh a slight advantage because of his speed. There are still flaws in both of their games because they are still working,” said Atlas.
Vargas Jr. He will turn 29 on November 8 and he is age there to be perceived as a “perspective”. He is not in the top 15 best, but from the way he looked at the opposition of the second level he faced, he is unlikely to become the world champion.
Fernando Jr. He can take advantage of being the son of the renowned retired former two -time world champion Fernando Vargas to earn good money on it.
Attaching to the boxing league Dany White can act in favor of Vargas JR, because he would fight for confined competition in the league.
He would not have to deal with talents at the age of 154, such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr. or Abass Baraou. The same applies to Walsh. Whether this league will ever start like UFC is highly doubtful because fans would see it similarly with the Arena football in relation to NFL.
In my opinion, the boxing league modeled on the UFC model will not work. Fans could see it as second -cycle fighters, guys are not good enough to cut it among the best at the world level. Callum Walsh and Fernando Vargas Jr. They fit perfectly into this league.
