Check out my pick for Emiliano Vargas vs. Bryce Mills below.
Emiliano Vargas by KO/TKO/DQ (+125)
Emiliano Vargas is the son of Fernando Vargas, the former Light Middleweight Champion. Vargas enters this fight with an undefeated record of 17-0 with 14 wins by knockout. He is coming off a ninth-round victory against Agustin Quintana in February. Mills, 24, is 22-1 and has won 16 straight fights since his lone loss.
Although Vargas has fewer fights than Mills, he has more high-level experience. Mills has scored two consecutive knockouts, but they were against Julio Rosa, who is 11-7, and Tobias Green, who is 12-4-1. On BoxRec, Vargas is ranked No. 23, which is 19 spots ahead of Mills.
Vargas is a massive -1400 favorite in this contest while Mills is a +700 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. This contest has an over/under of 8.5 rounds, with the over being -195 and the under being +140. Vargas is also -120 to win by decision and +125 to score a knockout. Vargas has been very aggressive lately, winning six of his previous seven contests by knockout. With that said, I’m taking Vargas at +125 to win by KO/TKO/DQ against Mills.
