Vergil Ortiz vs. Jose Benavidez at 154?

I thought I saw an interview where Benavidez says he was going to 160. Im sure De La Hoya could work out a Canelo weight fight.

Lol thanks bro. The hype he gets is unreal. Especially now that spencerina lost badly. they're hoping on the bandwagon and say Crawford is ducking him. Hope stanionis whoops him Spence losing the way he did made my boxing year. I could careless about Ennis tbh, I think he is good but whos he gonna fight? Crowley and Stanionis for vacant belts? Its like Spence, Thurman, and Porter all over again, yawn...

Oh yeah. Rooting for Stanionis to beat that bum booty lol Man T, you crack me up with your Ennis jokes.

And Panchito Bojado too. If guys like him and Gomez had hungers to match their talents, they would have gone far. Remember Bojado? I once saw him changing speed and direction on his left hook while in motion. Dude was crazy good. Tbh I never heard of him but its no surprise man. Cutting weight so much in the Amatuers really makes these guys hate the sport once they go pro. Tournaments are the worst too, its unrealistic to cut weight 3days in a row...

Damn, I havemt heard Frankie Gomezs name for a minute. On the bright side, he retired undefeated. I agree pre shooting Benavidez was a top contender. And Panchito Bojado too.

Hopefully Ortiz stays healthy. :boxing:

Jose Benavidez mann he could have been a force without that street sht. I remember him entering the game with Frankie Gomez as hot prospects. Even with one good leg he gave Crawford the business and he would be no easy task for Ortiz either. Infact, if Ortiz isnt well himself, Benavidez could surprise him. Benavidez has that natural talent and he could still beat handful of guys out there. Damn, I havemt heard Frankie Gomezs name for a minute. On the bright side, he retired undefeated.

Man that's disappointing. Ortiz coulda been the top guy at WW. Now I guess that dead division belongs to booty ennis. Isn't benavidez a pbc fighter? I think so but so was Stanionis so you never know...

Sucks he has to go with Matchroom guys. Itd be a good scrap and would give Ortiz a common opponent should he win with Bud. I think both opponents have a better resume at 154 than Jose Benavidez Jr. But to be fair, Vergil hasn't fought for a year already, plus there is also the fact that he needed to recover from rhabdomyolysis twice and he got unconscious trying to cut weight after. He went to a health facility center to clear him, had hired a proper nutritionist and has gotten health equipment to recover from training, so we will see in December if he can fight at the top level. {"alt":"Click image for larger version Name:\tVergil Ortiz Spar.jpg Views:\t0 Size:\t93.2 KB ID:\t31990323","data-align":"none","data-attachmentid":"31990323","data-size":"full","title":"Vergil Ortiz Spar.jpg"}

Not a bad pick, but I think an opponent from Matchroom is more likely, Liam Smith or Israil Madrimov come to mind. Sucks he has to go with Matchroom guys. Itd be a good scrap and would give Ortiz a common opponent with Bud should he win.
