By Dan Ambrose: Tonight’s clash between Timothy Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) and unbeaten Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) will see both fighters make good money for their fight on HBO from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. It’s especially good money for the 31-year-old Bradley because he hasn’t produced a victory in two year. Bradley will be making $1.5 million, which isn’t bad for a non-title holder to be getting.
By Jim Dower: Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) successfully weighed in today in coming in at 146.4 pounds for his fight against unbeaten Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) on Saturday night from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. For his part, Vargas also came in at 146.4 pounds.

It’s a match-up for the vacant interim WBO welterweight title, but the belt could wind up as the full title if Floyd Mayweather Jr., the current WBO title holder, doesn’t pay the $200K sanctioning fee that the WBO is asking him to pay if he wants to keep the belt.

By Dan Ambrose: Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) will be looking to recapture his old WBO welterweight title on Saturday night against Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) in their bout at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. For Bradley, a victory over the unbeaten Vargas would give him his firth world title in two divisions. He’s keeping track of these things, and it’s a very big deal for him even though it’s a world title he’s already had in the past.

By Gerardo Granados: This Saturday 26th at the Stub Hub Center, California, USA, former two division title holder Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) will fight at the welterweight limit against WBA light welterweight belt holder Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs), in a fight that will decide who moves on to better fights and purses and who stays behind trying to rebuild his once promising boxing career.
By Dan Ambrose: If former two division world champion Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) was hoping to get a war out of WBA 140lb champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) on Saturday night, then he got some bad news today in their final press conference when Vargas said that he’s going to be fighting Bradley in his own style when they go at it at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. The fight will be televised on HBO Championship Boxing.

By Chris Williams: Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) is confident of victory this Saturday night against WBA light welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) in their fight for the WBO interim welterweight [147] title at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
This is a Top Rank card, and the winner of the fight could inherit the WBO welterweight title from Floyd Mayweather Jr. if he doesn’t pay the huge $200K sanctioning fee that the World Boxing Association is asking for him in order to keep the title.
By Dan Ambrose: Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) and Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) will be fighting for the WBO interim welterweight title this Saturday night on June 27th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
The WBO interim title could turn into the full WBO title if Floyd Mayweather Jr., the current WBO 147lb champion, fails to send the World Boxing Organization a $200,000 sanctioning fee for the strap after he beat Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd of last month, according to Fight News.
By Dan Ambrose: Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) pretty much closed the door to ever getting a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. when he re-upped with Top Rank last year for another two years. Bradley had to have known that by signing up to a 2-year extension with Bob Arum’s Top Rank, he was closing the door to a fight against Mayweather forever. But despite Bradley being out of the loop for a fight against Mayweather until 2017, Bradley says he still wants a fight against him.
By Chris Williams: Former two division world champion Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) will be trying to interrupt his streak of poor performances when he faces unbeaten Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) in a 12 round fight in nine days from now on HBO Championship Boxing at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Bradley needs this win to turn things around for him because he’s starting to look like a shot fighter. It’s still unclear if the WBO 147 pound title will be on the line. Floyd Mayweather Jr. captured the WBO strap off of Manny Pacquiao, and the next thing he knew there were reports that the title would be on the line for the Bradley-Vargas fight despite the fact that Mayweather never even received the belt. That’s pretty unbelievable and very, very sad.
Bradley’s once career is in the worst position it’s ever been in with him not having won a fight in two years since 2013. At 31, Bradley has seen better days, and it’s hard to know where he can go from here if he loses to the 26-year-old Vargas, who is moving up from the light welterweight division to take the fight with Bradley.
