Floyd Schofield impressed in his first fight under a co-promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions. The talented 19-year-old prospect from Austin, Texas—aptly nicknamed ‘Kid Austin’—scored two knockdowns en route to a sixth-round stoppage of Rodrigo Guerrero. Schofield was credited with knockdowns in rounds three and four, with Guerrero taking considerable punishment before his corner decided to not let him out at the start of round six in their lightweight battle Saturday evening at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Figo Ramirez enjoyed a successful U.S. debut in a four-round, unanimous decision win over Francisco Bonilla (6-14-3, 3KOs). All three judges scored the contest 39-36 in favor of Dallas’ Ramirez (2-0, 1KOs), a stablemate of Vergil Ortiz Jr. (18-0, 18KOs) who faces England’s Michael McKinson (22-0, 2KOs) in the DAZN main event Saturday evening at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Vergil Ortiz Jr. put to rest any questions of where he stands in the welterweight division. The fighting pride of Grand Prairie, Texas arrived at a ripped and ready 146.6 pounds for his first fight of 2022 and his third straight in the greater Dallas area. Ortiz faces England’s Michael McKinson (22-0, 2KOs), who weighed 146.8 pounds for the battle of unbeaten welterweights this Saturday on DAZN from Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
It was the phone call Floyd Schofield Sr. didn’t expect to get, but when he got it, he knew what he had to do. He had to come get his son, Floyd Jr. “His grandmother called me to go pick him up and said he was in foster care,” he said. “So I took the steps. When I was young, my mom and dad got divorced and my mother sent me with my dad. And my dad couldn't deal with kids and he left me in the system. I didn't want Floyd to go through that. His mother gave him up to foster care because she didn't want to take care of kids because she had four other kids, and that's the main reason I had to do it. I had to break the cycle.”
