Rey Vargas easily and calmly steered through the seven-day pre-weigh in the lead  up to the first defense of his World Boxing Council super bantamweight title against US challenger  Ronny Rios.

Rey , who trains at the Romanza gym in Mexico City and in his hometown of Otumba, State of Mexico, met the WBC’s requirements, specifically designed and intended  to preserve boxers` health,  via graduated and sensible weight loss rather than  sudden and highly dangerous dehydration.

The permitted weight limit seven days out, is 128 pounds, equivalent to five percent above the division limit (122 pounds), but Rey weighed a disciplined 126.3-pounds, in the final countdown to  next Saturday’s much anticipated fight at  StubHub Center in California.
