Emiliano Vargas delivered the most significant test of his nascent career on Saturday night, halting unbeaten Bryce Mills in the fourth round of their light‑welterweight co‑feature at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York.
Vargas improved to 18‑0 with a technical knockout at 1:17 of the fourth round, having dropped Mills twice during the contest. Referee Ricky Gonzalez halted the bout after a sustained assault on the ropes.
Employing a disciplined jab and fluid movement, Vargas gradually wore down Mills, who entered the fight as the hardest opponent Vargas had faced.
Vargas’s victory marked the biggest of his career and secured his 15th knockout.
