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

[Eastlos]

Well said! They wanted that KO so bad, they didn't recognize Hooker broke his hand/wrist punching Ortiz in the head! I would like to see Ortiz fight Pacquiao, Ellis, or Avanesyan next. He's not ready for Crawford yet! I think Boots Ennis would outbox him 8-4 if they fought right now!

Stop it... Ennis hasn’t beaten anyone of note yet but you think he beats Ortiz, LOL. Vergil KO’s Boots in 6 if they fight now. Give Ennis a few more fights with legit competition before thinking about putting him in there with the future face of boxing Vergil Ortiz. Last nite was a coronation for the kid both Spence and Bud saw what’s coming for them in the near future and will do their best to avoid him at all cost.

Ortiz is good but Ennis is special! Hooker would've never hit Boots as much as he was hitting Vergil! That was Hooker's first fight at 147, and we know what Ramirez did to him @ 140! Anyway, I think Crawford fights Porter or the winner of Taylor vs. Ramirez next. That gives Vergil some time to get better! Vergil should fight Pacquiao, Thurman, or Prograis!

Can't wait for April 10, to see Boots vs. Lipinets! Unlike Hooker, Lipinets has never been stopped! I expect Boots to put on a show! Ennis is ready for Spence Jr. or Crawford right now! Way faster than Ortiz, can switch stances at will, has KO power in BOTH hands, and his footwork is outstanding! Vergil don't want that smoke yet!

Boots vs. Speedy is the match-up I want to see, but you know....politics blah blah other side of the street blah blah.

I’ll let you in on a lil secret fighting bums doesn’t make you special. So far in his career Boots has fought nothing but cab drivers yet you think he’s ready for Bud and Spence, LOL. Lipinets is a good test but let’s not act like he wasn’t dropped by a lightweight in Mikey Garcia. As for Vergil every test that is put in front of him the kid continues to KO them now that’s special.

How bout Vergil vs. Speedy! Same side of the street, same promoter! I don't understand how Hooker, who never fought @ 147, got the fight with Vergil b4 Speedy did? What's up with that?

Go and look up what "lightweight" Mikey did to Vergil! Vergil admits that "lightweight" Mikey lit his ass up! Lipinets did NOT get KO'd, but Mo' Hooker did!

Lipinets gonna answer a lot of questions about Boots. I remember some casual fans on this site making fun of Mikey for fighting him calling Lips a BUM! I was like WTF??? Dudes don't know sht!

Yes indeed! Lipinets is a tough fighter! People just downplayed him because they were hating on Mikey!

Listen, do yourself a favor go to YouTube and look up what his stablemates @ RGBA have to say about Vergil. From unified champion Jose Ramirez to multi weight Champ Mikey Garcia to Josesito Lopez and Alexis Espino they all agree on one thing Vergil is special. I know it hurts for you to hear that but the kid is the truth. Don’t know why you have such a hard time believing what actual champions continue to say about Ortiz but maybe it doesn’t fit your agenda do whatever.

I don't know why you ignored what I wrote. Vergil admitted that "lightweight" Mikey beat him up not long ago, the same Mikey that beat Lipinets. No one disagrees that Vergil is very good! However, many don't feel he's good enough to jump to Crawford after seeing last night's event. He was getting touched too much, by Hooker, and Hooker is levels below Crawford! 1-2 more fights is all I'm saying! Why do you take that as an insult? Let him beat Pacquiao, Thurman, or Boots first!
