Milestone regal\u00a0 victory for \u201dKing\u201d Callum Walsh<\/p>\n

In the co-feature to the Canelo\/Crawford fight at the Allegiant Stadium las Vegas, \u201dKing\u201d Callum Walsh came of age and proved a point, by comprehensively defeating previously unbeaten fellow southpaw Fernando Vargas Jr by Unanimous Decision.<\/p>\n

The six foot tall Irish sensation aged twenty four from Cork, showed bottle, fizz, savvy, guile, power and maturity, to ascend another rung of the ladder on the way to a world title bid.\u00a0 A crucial moment and a hurdle overcome in his career, as this was a battle of the undefeated.\u00a0 Somebody`s 0 had to go and Callum`s tally sheet remains pristine.\u00a0 Callum`s record is now 15-0, 11 KO`s.\u00a0 Fernando is now 17-1, 15 KO`s.\u00a0 Legendary International Boxing Hall of Fame Coach Freddie Roach was in Callum`s corner, calmly dispensing sage advise, while also legendary Fernando Sr was in Jr`s corner, imparting smart counselling with pearls of wisdom, in his ear.<\/p>\n

The scoring after ten rounds, clearly demonstrated the quality and tangible effectiveness of Callum`s work and the way he applied it to gain\u00a0 top marks. In a class of his own, thanks to a brilliant and inspirational teacher guiding plus developing his natural talent.\u00a0 The Judges saw it: 99-91 twice and 100-90.\u00a0 Callum`s Promoter Tom Loeffler of 360 Promotions said: \u201dWhenever you can beat a young, undefeated fighter, namely Fernando Vargas Jr, who is a big puncher, whenever you can pitch a shut out and dominate the fight, you`ve got to give Calum a strong grade.<\/p>\n

\u201dI actually thought Callum could have been more aggressive, as we`ve seen him in some of the previous fights, when he starts out very fast, comes forward and drives his opponents back. He didn`t do that against Vargas, but I think that was because, Vargas was very confident and he has good power. So Callum was more prudent and cautious than we`ve seen in the past, yet he gained the win in such a dominant fashion, on such a big stage. It`s always a great thing for a career, and being so young.\u201d<\/p>\n

Callum inflicted, imparted and impacted a high volume of pinpoint, sinking body punches,\u00a0 which was particularly impressive. Tom said; \u201dCallum is a great body puncher and a lot of that comes from Freddie Roach. Those punches were his most effective tool. I was surprised that the Referee didn`t warn Vargas Jr more or take a point, for repeated low blows.<\/p>\n

\u201dCallum`s performance and at such a young age, shows maturity, especially fighting in front of the biggest boxing crowd we`ve seen for a long time. It was very loud in there, with a majority of Mexican fans there to support Canelo. The fact Callum was able to control Vargas the way he did was highly impressive to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The defining character and significant nature of this victory is a milestone in Callum`s blossoming career. Tom stated: \u201dFernando Vargas Jr was clearly rated the highest of any opponents that Callum has fought. This victory both in the ring and from a publicity standpoint really catapults Callum`s career to a different level.\u201d<\/p>\n
