Jessie Vargas vs. Steve Forbes set for May 5th PPV card
Veteran Steve Forbes will step in to face undefeated welterweight prospect Jessie Vargas on the Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto pay-per-view undercard on May 5. Vargas' original opponent Alfonso Gomez had to pull out due to an injury.
Forbes (35-10, 11 knockouts) has held a major 130-pound title, was the runner up in the second season of The Contender series, challenged Andre Berto for a welterweight title and went the 12-round distance with Oscar De La Hoya in a junior middleweight bout in his 15 years in the sport.
The 35-year-old Portland native has victories over current IBF junior middleweight titleholder Cornelius Bundrage and Francisco Bojado. Forbes lost his last bout, a 10th-round TKO to welterweight prospect Karim Mayfield, last June.
Vargas (18-0, 9 KOs), of Las Vegas, is coming off a 10-round unanimous decision over tough spoiler Lanardo Tyner in February. The 22-year-old Los Angeles native scored an exciting, hard-fought split decision over fringe contender Josesito Lopez on the undercard of Mayweather-Victor Ortiz last September.

I have a soft spot for Forbes because he's always been the little guy who steps in to face guys almost two weight classes above him.

I work out at the same boxing gym in Portland that Forbes use to train at. He's the best fighter my State has ever produced. That's pretty sad.

3-7 in his last ten. Forbes should give it up.

They need to stop televising all of Jessie Vergas fights. I've seen more entertainment from watching paint dry.

Agreed. Hopefully Golden Boy convinces Floyd to put him against a quality opponent so he would get stopped. I don't think Vargas can lose on the cards on a Floyd undercard.
