00:00Morino, not that I'll say todo tiempo, but this is your organist todo tiempo.

00:31Four fights a year ago.
00:32This, the third of 2025.
00:34What are you looking for to tell yourself he's climbing to the next rung on the ladder?
00:40Again, as the competition increases and you see a young fighter develop skill-wise,
00:48but more importantly, he starts to knock out and start this knockout streak over and over and over.
00:55That's when you know he's trending in the right direction.
00:57Because as you go up in levels, Tess, the competition gets harder and harder.
01:03You know, they get better.
01:04Oh, good right hands.
01:05Man, oh, man.
01:08Emiliano.
01:10Pinpoint precision.
01:12Espinosa's done.
01:15Not even a minute into round one.
01:18And Emiliano Fernando Vargas says, hey, MSG, how you like that?
01:26Tim Bradley, you just said what you're looking for.
01:45Knockouts.
01:45Knockouts.
01:46It doesn't get better than that.
01:48First round knockout.
01:52And, Papa, are you proud?

02:19Pulled counter.
02:20That's exactly what it was.
02:22A pulled counter.
02:23Pulled that jab.
02:25Watch the jab come out.
02:27He understands his distance.
02:28He knows where he is.
02:29Whoop, bop.
02:30Right hand right over the top.
02:33And it's all she wrote.
02:35Look.
02:36Sometimes, look.
02:37From some fighters, the ring ain't no playground.
02:40Oh.
02:41For some fighters.
02:42It sure ain't no playground for this young man right here, Emiliano Vargas.
02:47He not playing inside that ring.
02:49See the head snap?
02:50Perfectly timed.
02:51Yep, head snap.

03:07Emiliano Fernando Vargas just levels, levels Espinosa.
03:1425th fight in the career of the 34-year-old Espinosa.
03:19And he is for it.
03:20I want to show you this knockout in real speed.
03:23Obviously, you see the technique in slow-mo.
03:26You can appreciate it.
03:26Watch this power.
03:28Did you hear that again?
03:41That's good stuff.
03:42Sounded like a park collision.
03:44Good, good stuff.
03:48Emiliano Fernando Vargas.
03:50Started off when he was 10 years old.
03:55Of course, lived his whole life around the sport.
03:58It's in his DNA.
04:00His father's by his side.
04:02The former junior middleweight world champion.
04:07And now he has a 21-year-old son who has what many think is the total package.
