On the morning of April 30, 2022, Beijing time, former world super lightweight and sub-middleweight world champion Jessie Vargas and former super middleweight world champion Liam Smith completed the pre-match weighing ceremony in New York, USA, and both boxers successfully passed the pre-match weighing ceremony.
Jesse Vargas was first weighed at this weighing ceremony, weighing 153 pounds (69.4 kilograms). Liam Smith then weighs 154 pounds, and both former world boxers pass the pre-match weighing in one go.
Tomorrow morning (May 1, 2022), Beijing time, Jesse Vargas and Liam Smith will play a super-midweight professional boxing match at Madison Garden Plaza, a boxing mecca in the United States, when the world-renowned streaming platform DAZN will broadcast the match live.
However, although the match between Jesse Vargas and Liam Smith was nominally promoted by the organizers (The Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company) as an important cushion match ahead of Katie Taylor's battle with Amanda Serrano's women's professional boxing P4P supremacy. But in fact, I would like to call this match a duel between the losers, because the two boxers have long since lost the scenery of the former world boxing champion.
Liam Smith, 33, currently has a professional record of 30 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, with 17 KO opponents. In 2015, Liam Smith won the WBO title of Super Midweight World Champion and successfully defended the title twice. However, in September 2016, he was defeated by The Ko of Sur Avarez and has since lost the title of World Boxer. And sadly, then-Sur Avarez wasn't much better than he is now, and that game didn't make Liam Smith much money. Later, Liam Smith lost to Jaime Munguia and Magomed Kurbanov in the super middleweight and completely reduced to supporting roles.
Jesse Vargas has a similar experience, in the ultra-light and sub-middleweight Jesse Vargas was also a half-step king, but after losing to Bradley, Manny Pacquiao and Mitch Garcia, his sub-middleweight has not developed, and it is a helpless move to advance to the super middleweight. Although Jesse Vargas is good in height, arm span, and has a certain amount of experience and strength, in the super middleweight, Jesse Vargas's strength is too small, and I really can't imagine who Jesse Vargas can knock down at this level.
That's why I think that tomorrow's jesse Vargas and Liam Smith's game is more like a contest between two frustrated people in the professional boxing arena comforting each other and seeking development, and there is really not much to see.
