Congratulations to Foster he proved most of us wrong.

Well, it's good news if Vargas will be able to fight the winner of the Magsayo vs Figueroa fight, and if Magsayo will win, I'm pretty sure he'll agree with a rematch on Vargas, and that way he will be able to prove that he is the better fighter, of course, he'll not win if he will not make the right adjustment, I think now that Vargas is not anymore undefeated, Magsayo can study on how Foster defeated Vargas, and just duplicate the performance.

Maybe it's too early for that in terms of Magsayo, he needed to secure the win first against Figueroa and as we know that fighter is also another good competitor who can upset him if he won't manage to analyze and study how Figueroa will take this fight, it will be an interesting upcoming fight if Magsayo will win and Vargas will decide to go back to where he belongs.

We don't know what's waiting for the fans after that defeat from Foster, might be possible that the camp will try to ask for a rematch or Vargas will return and will face the winner of the fight between Magsayo and Figueroa.

Indeed, if he mange to win his upcoming fight, automatically the winner of Magsayo and Figueroa's fight will be declared as new title holder from that said division,

It's not automatic given there's another scenario.

The winner between Mark Magsayo and Brandon Figueroa will only be elevated from interim to regular champion if Vargas decides to move up if he wins against Foster. If Vargas loses, he will need to mandatory defend his 126 titles against the winner between Magsayo and Figueroa.

But for me, I'd rather see Vargas wins this match and move forward on achieving multiple titles per division.

If I'm not mistaken, it will be Vargas' 4th title division champion if he wins against Foster.

I guess that leads to the same thing mate as @Fredomago also stated above that "if he (Vargas) manage to win his upcoming fight" that would also mean that the winner of Figueroa-Magsayo fight will be declared as the regular champion and not as Interim champion, so somehow that's quite automatic as long as Vargas will conquer Foster successfully.

Not happening, Foster won against Vargas, it went to the judges scorecard: Tim Cheatham (117-111), Alejandro Rochin (119-109) and David Sutherland (116-112).

So it was a mastery from Foster and I think this is how you beat a brawler like Vargas, combination of slick defense, orthodox stance, which might have confused Vargas in the beginning.

And Foster has outlanded Vargas in every category to win his first title.

Vargas though remain a champion, WBC featherweight and most likely he will go down again. Making the Magsayo vs Figueroa a very interesting fight because if Vargas will defend his belt, it could be either of this two.

I guess so but other than that, I think we are just too focused about the Magsayo vs Figueroa fight without seeing Vargas's chances against his opponent, Foster, who defeated him this day via unanimous decision. In that case, Vargas has nowhere to go but to wait for the winner again and then defend his title because even if he won't give Figueroa a chance or Magsayo a rematch, time will come that the WBC will give a mandatory fight.

Lost my bet, ouch.
O'Shaquie Foster is damn good. From defense to countering the haymakers of Rey Vargas. I didn't expect that as I thought Vargas' jabs will dominate the fight I was shocked that he cannot even land those punches accurately.
The new champion did his homework, he knows the range, and he can easily dodge the jabs, and most importantly he knew the timing on when he could land a counter.
That was some damn performance by Foster and I wish he just became more aggressive early, there's even a slight chance he could KO Vargas.

And if you remember, he says that he will send back Rey Vargas to his previous weight class and that's why he did here, he shows that Vargas doesn't belong yet to this decision.

Yes, Foster really did his homework against a brawler like Vargas and that's why they were winning rounds because Vargas was really at lost at the style that is being shown by Foster in this fight. So congrats to him, maybe he will go for a unification fight with either Shavkat Rakhimov (IBF) or Hector Luis Garcia (WBA). So will see, there is also Oscar Valdez just waiting and Robson Conceicao. But to be honest, with the way Foster shown in this fight, it's going to be very dificult for the two mentioned to beat him.

It's politics again that play a big role here and that is why Jack C. is being bypass. I would agree that it seems they work this into perfection from behind without Jack's camp noticing it.

And it was noted that Jack already signed a contract and just waiting for the rescheduled date for his rematch against Josh Taylor. There are no stated reasons though why a sudden change of event. Jack's camp is just waiting until Taylor is now suited for the fight.

Damn, I badly want to see their rematch as that was a heated fight. They should settle it once and for all and not by facing other boxers.

Kind of disappointed here if they will meet not instead.

Thanks, I thought that I was the only one wanting to see the rematch, and it's good to hear that Josh will give him the second fight because everyone knows that Jack was robbed by a victory there.

It was really heated and it was a war, The scores were 113-112 for Catterall, 114-111 for Taylor, and 113-112 for Taylor. It might be better if the fight is a draw. And the judge who score the fight 114-111 was criticized because it was obvious a biased score.

Poor Jack though, this could be the second robbery of him if the Taylor vs Lopez pushes through this year.

I think regardless of how we think of that fight, it does make sense for Teofimo Lopez to be chosen as the challenger for that WBO Junior Welterweight Title.

Even having only a few fights at 140 against an "unknown" boxer as you mentioned, Teofimo Lopez is currently the Rank 1 contender in the current WBO rankings in that particular division, therefore, he is eligible for a title match and a challenger.

We can't only blame Top Rank here as WBO itself plays a role in allowing that fight.

Yeah both of Lopez and Taylor teams are agree to make this fight, actually it's a benefit for Taylor since Lopez isn't proving anything in the last 2 matches, actually he was struggle when he fight with Sandor Martin.

Josh Taylor is number one boxer in light welterweight, this mean Lopez will fight with the best boxer in light welterweight. If this fight will happen, I'm not sure which one will become favorite. Lopez have a lot fans while Taylor have proving his capability.

Not only number one, he used to be the unified champion in 140 lbs, he just have to vacant 3 belts and retain the WBO because other bodies are forcing him to have mandatory fight in which obviously he can handle it in just a year.

So he fight Jack Catterall for this first title defense but it didn't went very well as he almost lost that fight, and so a rematch has to be made which is supposedly next month until Taylor pull out of that fight because of a reported injury.

Just makes me wonder why Teofimo Lopez is getting all this special treatment when he moves to 140 lbs. He hasn't proved anything yet in this division, having like 1-2 fights with unknown boxer.

And now he will be give the chance to fight for a world title at this division? The only thing that I can think of is that Top Rank wants all money in-house for them and their fighters, so it's easy to make this fight by bypassing Jack.

Proving anything at the present division is actually not that important these days as the promoter's influence can already get the governing bodies confirmation. Even if he just got a 2-fight with unknown boxers, those are still win and eventually, he will climb the ladder towards the champion and contest their belt.

It's not that new as well because Teo Lopez is not that kind of ordinary boxer as he already made a name in the previous weight class, so, it's obvious that he won't begin at the bottom of the food chain on his climb just like the other boxers do.

Just few examples:
Canelo Alvarez when he fought Kovalev directly
Naoya Inoue will now be fighting Steph Fulton directly

Dmitry Bivol really wants to fight Artur Beterbiev, in a title unification bout it sure is a great fight to watch we will surely see who may prevail Power, VS Speed and like I have said Dmitry Bivol is a technical fighter, that has volume and speed and his punches were quite lethal if he strikes on the same target, it could be devastating, but 1 punch of Artur Beterbiev may close the fight into a KO win for Beterbiev, because 1 punch is all Beterbiev needed, while Bivol will surely fine a way to counter this aswell,

I'm hoping that one day we will have a thread about Bivol and Beterbiev, that they finally going to meet in the ring with a date of the course, and a contract, there are so many speculations when it comes to two fighters I hope between these two fighters we will not see issues like what we have seen between Spence and Crawford they just want to make people hoping when we have the date and the contract we'll then have a healthy discussion between these two fighters.

For now, we just need to wait for further announcements because right now we surely are wishful thinking that this fight will go through but for now, waiting patiently is the only option, and hope that there are promoters that are listening to the many fans that want this fight to really happen and because these two is not getting any younger now and nearing their retiring years eventually there might be a solution for these two to really fight for real,

Now I would like to post this event because there is no thread available for it, and this is an event that is starting right now,

Yes, but all along we thought that it will be Jack Catterall vs Josh Taylor II for the rematch. And it was already scheduled on March if I'm not mistaken, until Josh injured himself, and in which Jack doesn't believed.

So not it make sense that maybe his injury is not real and that Top Rank wants their fight for them.

But still good fight for me, Teofimo is trying to get his second title and it's good to see him go against Josh Taylor.

I don't think this will sit well with Jack Catterall as they have scheduled already a rematch with Josh Taylor. Unfortunately, Josh got injured again and so the fight is called off.

Now this news is circulating that Teo Lopez is not going to fight Josh Taylor next for the title.

So I think this is a bitch move from Top Rank to bypass Catterall. Jack losses the first fight against Josh Taylor but it was very close that there are some insiders who think that Jack won the fight.

so either magsayo or figueroa, they may be wishing right now for vargas to win because that will favour their career. vargas is the favourite over foster, so let's see if he can get the belt of WBC World Super Featherweight Champion. if upset happens, then yeah, the winner of magsayo vs figueroa may face vargas later on.

Yes, it might be lol. No more added obstacle if both boxers want that WBC Featherweight Title if Rey Vargas will win and choose to hold instead the Super Bantamweight title. The winner between them will be officially holding the title and not just be an interim champion if Vargas decides to vacant it.

But the most speculated things that might happen can also be changed.

We just have to wait for results especially the fight between Vargas and Foster that's just less than a day now before the official face-off in the ring.

It looks like a rematch against Vargas is difficult since there is no clause of a rematch in their previous fight contract. Besides it was stated that Vargas isn't interested to fight any boxer that will not bring any benefit from him. What I am seeing on this action of Vargas is that he is aiming for a unification fight and will disregard any match that won't give him another title. So I think if Magsayo really wanted to take back his title, he must get another title to make the rematch against Vargas much easier.

Disregarding any rematch clause or what on their first meeting, if Rey Vargas will lose his match against Foster, a mandatory title defense back at the Featherweight division will be ordered for him and that's to fight the winner of the Magsayo-Figueroa bout. Simple as that.

Obviously, if Mark Magsayo wants to become a champion again, he should win against Figueroa and don't mind Vargas for now. Besides, if Vargas will win against Foster, he is likely to push his journey to 130 leaving his 126 title vacant and will be granted to the interim champion. Since that will be the case, Magsayo will now hold the title again if he won against Figueroa.

Just for clarification, I'm not saying Magsayo will win but just giving an example scenario.
