Comments Thread For: Maurice Hooker: I'm Way Better Than The Fighters Vergil Ortiz Has Fought So Far

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Maurice Hooker recognizes the type of danger he has embraced in his first legitimate welterweight fight. The former WBO junior welterweight champion views Vergil Ortiz Jr. the same as virtually everyone else. Hooker (27-1-3, 18 KOs) also is confident that Ortiz (16-0, 16 KOs) is taking a considerable step up in class in their 12-round, 147-pound fight Saturday night.

The man has a point, but... Ortiz has been way better than all of his opponents. Will that balance out?

Hooker looks like a 140 lb moved to 147 and he’s not that slick or a big puncher.
I got ortiz in 9

Agreed. I don't see Hooker withstanding the punches. He has a bad chin IMO.

It’s a step up for Ortiz, that’s a fact. Hooker is very very good, I think the odds on this fight are not representative of the real risk here.

Hooker is ok, but he's on the fringes. His best win was one of those Eddy shockers. Virgil has too much of everything, even a better jab.
