It was a wild night in London.
BKB 57 featured the bare knuckle debuts of Amado Vargas and Fernando Vargas Jr., two of the most promising young prospects in boxing. Known on social media as the “Vargas Dynasty,” the sons of two-time light middleweight world champion Fernando Vargas emerged victorious after their respective battles at The O2 last Sat. night (July 25) in London.
But it was Amado’s fight against James Springer that had the internet buzzing.
That’s because Springer went rogue and tossed Vargas into the ropes, then followed up with a kick that sent “AFV” tumbling to the floor. Vargas was able to recover and return to action, then got his revenge in the best way possible: by launching “The Pitbull” into the phantom zone with a crushing right hand.
Elsewhere on the BKB 57 fight card, former BKB heavyweight champion Mick Terrill returned to form by annihilating Germany’s Florian De La Motte. In addition, Aaron Chalmers secured his second win over fellow reality TV star Jack Fincham with a first-round doctor’s stoppage in their bare knuckle rematch.
