It wasn't exactly the 2019 campaign he had in mind, although Jessie Vargas found ways to keep active even if not always in the ring. The former two-division titlist fought just once on the year-a 6th round stoppage of Humberto Soto last April. The bout was to serve as his test in a junior middleweight uniform, as he eyed a title run in a third weight division. His year was instead spent on the other side of the ropes, whether as an interested observer or as a part-time announcer with DAZN. The latter role has come natural to the personable Las Vegas native, though a career he'd rather consider once he's done as a prizefighter-and certainly well beyond this weekends's showdown versus Mikey Garcia live from The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas (Saturday, DAZN, 9:00pm ET).
