After using the first two minutes to study his opponent, Fernando Vargas scored a knockdown in the first round of his fight against Wilfrido Buelvas (22-17). A vicious, but clinical 1-2 combination sent Buelvas almost out of the ring once a second straight right was delivered from Vargas.
Similarly, by the second round, Vargas had Buelvas drop again, but this time Buelvas was unable to beat the count.
Vargas Jr rises to 13-0 after his KO.
The fight was billed under MarvNations Boxfest 56 in California.
Headlining is lightweight prospect Miguel Gaona (3-0), who faced Paulo Figueroa (3-1).
