Emiliano Vargas Previews Bryce Mills Fight: 'There Are Levels'

Article excerpt

Rising super lightweight Emiliano Vargas is preparing for a June 27 showdown against Bryce Mills at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, declaring "there are levels" to separate contenders from champions. The fighter, whose stock has climbed in recent months, sees the bout as a stepping stone toward a world title, and eventually a dream matchup with Shakur Stevenson, the sport's most dominant young talent. Vargas believes his technical superiority and rising ranking position him to break through the crowded super lightweight division and claim a shot at gold.
