Will Ortiz vs Stanionis REALLY happen?

They are above Lipinets or Clayton level though. Same level as Ortiz's last fight, Michael McKinson​. I agree

Man, you need to review the Stanionis vs Butaev fight. It was a split decision win and it could have gone either way. Stanionis fought like there was no tomorrow and defense was like non existent to both. It was a brutal fight. These guys as the other poster said are below Kavaliauskas level.

Wow, you think Stanionis doesn't want it? I think it is a close fight but you may have a great point. Man, you need to review the Stanionis vs Butaev fight.

The hurdle would most likely be because Stanionis' promoter is Richard Schaefer, who had an unpleasant history with GBP. But still to me this is too early for Stanionis and too risky. He's a huge underdog in this fight, imho. I don't think he wants this fight. Wow, you think Stanionis doesn't want it? I think it is a close fight but you may have a great point.

I don't see it a a very risky matchup for Ortiz. Stanionis is a pretty good fighter but he hasn't got much pop and his game plan seems to be to take some to give many. Against a power hitter like Ortiz, he'd probably get stopped inside of 6. I think it is quite risky for both honestly. That Mckinson fight was a nice fight for Ortiz too. But all in all I hope these two get it on

As I am sure you know by now, both Ortiz and Stanionis' teams did not reach an agreement in negotiations. Now it is going to purse bid. Do you think this fight REALLY happens? Something tells me Ortiz's handlers aren't so excited about this risky matchup. What are your thoughts? Why would Ortizs handlers be weary of this fight for Ortiz. Hrs fought mean machine,a very awkward/tricky southpaw spoiler in McKinson and had him ready to face Avanesyan before he pulled out? Stanionis is on par with all 3 of those guys,possibly a step below Kava so I doubt Ortiz has any concern fighting Stan. The split/payout will be a hurdle though and could derail the fight unfortunately.

WBA is late in enforcing this fight. Nobody knows what the delay is all about. Maybe because Stanionis fights on PBC platform. It can be, but I really hope this fight happens man. It's a great matchup.

What do you mean not excited? It was Ortiz who petitioned the WBA for this fight.

I am referring more to Oscar de la Hoya man. Look how he is leading his fighters' careers like Zurdo and Jaime.

Tough to say. They have high standing in the alphabet realm and the backing to make things happen. Either they fight each other or wait for their shot or even worse have to deal with Ennis. If Spence moves up and doesn't face Crawford that division will be wide open again like the 140 division. Yeah, I mean, the whole Spence Bud drama seems to delay the others who are in line. I hope either make their move already.
