Jr needs some of Hemi's power. Both opponents were about the same quality. Jr hit Vargas with some great right hand body shots. Two of them dropped Vargas in different rounds, but no way Vargas should have gone the distance. Jr needed to completely dominate Vargas. He won most of the rounds, but there's no way Vargas should have hit him as much as he did. He needs to keep his left hand at his chin, not at his waist.
In saying all that, Jr got his punches off better than in the past, and looked to have good stamina. If he's going to beat guys in the top ten, he needs to do the above. The talent is there.
