Boxing Business: How Emiliano Vargas’ career reflects the path of Zander Zayas and Edgar Berlanga

Emiliano Vargas says he’s part of it “The New Era of Boxing” Last Saturday night after a 42-second knockout victory in the first round against Alexander Espinoza (20-4-1, 9 KOs) at a light welterweight contest held at Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York City. Vargas said he was “A new star. ”

Vargas: Marketing gimmick?

The opposition that Top Rank gave Emiliano has inflated his ego until he thinks it’s true, but he hasn’t pushed a big fight to prove it. Why isn’t he? He’s more Marketing Gimmicks Above all.

Espinoza, 34, appeared to not belong to the ring with anyone. It is unclear where Top Rank found him and what their purpose is in using him as Vargas’ opponent.

Artificial development has been exposed

It is impossible to make Emiliano (15-0, 13 KOs) into the “new era” category of sports. Because he has battled poor opposition over and over again. Plus, young Vargas hasn’t come from a great amateur background like the other fighters who turn the pros. Fake and artificial To make Emiliano look better than he actually is.

He would be better off staying in the amateur ranks to fight top fighters around the world before becoming a pro. No actual development has been carried out. So far, I’ve been looking at Vargas’ carriers when it comes to marketing products to sell before Emiliano is revealed as a fake.

Compare Emiliano with Berlanga and Zayas

It’s the same thing we saw with Edgar Berlanga and now we’re watching with Xander Zayas. Counterfeit products To the simple, easily fooled public. Emiliano fits British Connor Ben with how they developed.

“I’m in a new era of boxing. All my favorite fighters are 30, 36, 28. Do you know what I’m saying?” Emiliano Vargas said. Post-war press conference After beating the unknown Alexander Espinoza last Saturday night. “There are so many new stars. I’m definitely one of them.”

Weak opposition trend

I don’t consider Emiliano to be one of them. “New Star” In sports. He’s more important to the latest trends involving promoters who manipulate the fighters around him to make them look extraordinary, not letting them get into a fight that proves they’re legal.

As an amateur, Emiliano was 23-6. Since he became a pro, he has only played Top Rank. Lower levels Fighter plane. Vargas cannot prove himself in the way he is given a fighter that he is supposed to beat. His opponent, dug somewhere by his promoter last night, was beaten in two of the last three fights between lesser known fighters Jalen Tait and Rogelio Jimenez.

What Vargas (15-0, 13 Kos) omitted is the decision of the best matchmaker to keep him in line with weak opposition. This is a trend among matchmakers, causing fighters to oppose Low-quality opponent To make them look invincible. In addition to Emiliano, Xander Zayas and Edgar Berlanga are notable examples.

“But the cards may fall. My job is to sign a contract and fight the battle,” Emiliano said. “Never say it. I respect Theo 100%. I don’t want the clip to appear. You guys throw Theo in the trash. I’m in the new era of boxing and I don’t think many other fighters are cheeky.

Can Emiliano beat these fighters down? I can see him having a puncher chance against some of them, but the good ones that came from a good amateur background will expose him. Ernesto Mechado, Keyshawn Davis, Gary Anchanne Russell and Richardson Hitchens all defeated Emiliano, indicating that he is not one of the “new stars.” His career is more of a marketing gimmick.
