Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Drops Maurice Hooker, Stops Him in Seventh

Unknown to whom?? Not to DAZN, the media and the fans in attendance who cheered for him and not for Hooker who is from the same area....Nobody wants to watch " slick " fighters.....

Yet a slick fighter is the highest grossing boxer of all time in the history of the sport...If YOU don't like slick boxers than say that. Everyone doesn't share your opinion and the numbers clearly show that. The sport is called boxing not brawling...get a ***n clue clown.

That was a satisfying beating. Most of us knew Hooker was getting smashed up. Brilliant.

Every time a Mexican wins an insecure brutha comes in here just to hate

Ortiz is good but he’s green. I think it’s foolish to mention Ortiz Jr and Crawford in the same sentence.

What has Crawford done in his entire career thats so impressive? Hooker got kod because he fought 2 powerful punchers who are elite & could fight at 154 if they wanted,but I have no doubt Hooker would beat most Buds resume of Shell Brooks,AmereCon,Indongo,Horn,1 legged drive by victim. I have no doubt Hooker would be undisputed had he faced Indongo,Burns,Postal at 140 like Crawford did. That said I don't think Ortiz is ready for Spence,but I do think he beats Bud who went 12 with worse fighters than Hooker

Well TC has won titles from 135 to 147 so that's pretty impressive. I'll agree that he doesn't have the best or greatest resume as far as names are concerned, but you can only beat who they put in front of you. Hell TBH I didn't think Floyd's resume was all that impressive until he started beating guys well into his 30s, that's really when I think everybody started to finally come around whether you loved or hated him. So It's more about the accomplishments. You can't take 3 titles in 3 diff weight classes away from em. Even with Broner as lame as he is, that's a great accomplishment.

I think what sets Bud apart is his confidence in his ability and willingness to face the top dog win, lose or draw and the fact that there's now a perception that Spence has been reluctant to face him in a unification bout, and it's to the point where it can be considered ducking because both guy's are over 30 years old.

Belts are a dime a dozen now but who did he beat for those bogus “titles”???

crawford has such a crappy resume its comical how he gets mentioned in the top 5

Ortiz is 147

I know... Lopez moves up (as he will sooner or later)... don't know if Ortiz could go back to 140 though...

[Drigo]

****** Hooker remove his job in round 6 and lack mobility to avoid ortiz punch. No defence at all. This guy is going nowhere in 147...

No way Ortiz goes back to 140
