Betting on the 2025 Vargas-Higa fight
American Antonio Vargas won the interim WBA World Bantamweight Title late last year against Winston Guerrero. On Wednesday morning, he'll make his first title defense as the actual champion when he battles Japanese fighter Daigo Higa. It will be the the third time in a row that Higa, a former WBC Flyweight Title holder, has fought for a recognized world championship at bantamweight, following a loss to Yoshiki Takei for the WBO title and then a draw against Seiya Tsutsumi for the WBA title (Tsutsumi was later stripped of the belt to make Vargas the champion).
Higa is now 21-3-2 in his career while Vargas is 19-1 (1 NC). However, only one of Vargas' previous professional fights have been held outside of the state of Florida, a win over Felipe Rivas in Puerto Rico in 2018. Now he'll have to fly to Yokohama, Japan, to compete against a Japanese fighter that has fought exclusively in his home country. The fight will be contested at 118 pounds and Vargas (5-foot-5 with a 66-inch reach) has a two-inch height and reach advantage over Higa.
The champion has won his last two fights with stoppages and now has 11 wins via knockout in his career, while Higa has recorded 19 wins by way of knockout. The over/under for total knockdowns in the fight is 1.5, with the over priced at -115 and the under at -140. Both fighters to be knocked down is a Vargas vs. Higa prop that would pay +1400. Bet it at bet365, where you can get $150 in bonus bets after a $5 bet, win or lose.
