Good scrap! Mean machine is the most underrated welterweight. Lets see how he fairs vs. Ortiz

Word is that Lopez-Kambosos will get pushed back to September and possibly packaged with Oscar's exhibition. Makes sense for a number of reasons - most importantly, Lopez gets proper time to recover from COVID and get back into fighting shape.
Pac-Spence is Aug. 21. Other fights on Aug 14 are Donaire-Casimero (Showtime) and possibly Joshua Franco-Andrew Moloney III (ESPN platform)

Thanks so much for the info, Jake. I kinda feel sorry for Kambosos.

Excellent matchup and card, well done to Golden Boy for brining a damn good card to Texas. Dayzin is truly screwing itself by not making GB it’s promotion of choice for the USA

Nice little fight. This goes out to show that Terrence Crawford is and was never the #1 p4p, only ignorant idiots have him as so. My man has never beaten a elite p4p fighter in his career, it’s always been over the hill guy and smaller men. Terrence Crawford needs to unify the welterweight division to be considered #1

Nice fight - been wanting to see some of TC's previous opponents start to fight other notable contenders/risers and solidify the WW scene a little more....particularly Mean Machine and Jose Benavidez. and then if we see Hooker flourishing more at WW that would be a good look for Ortiz too.

Vergil is my boy but man, he took a number of shots last fight, his right cheek had a lump going. Hooker landed the little short right hand over and over. This guy can punch so there will have to be a focus on that. If he makes it clean then yeah Crawford, let's go

Been calling for this one for awhile, Ortiz will get a huge turn out in Texas for sure and I think he will look Spectacular vs Mean Machine style

Very good fight and a great barometer to see how big Ortiz chances are against Crawford.

Ortiz is #1 for WBO so if he makes good work of Egi then Bud might have his first real test at 147. I will have a close eye on this fight as I do think Ortiz is the real deal, not the best prospect as I think that Ennis is gonna be a special talent but still a top fighter.

Yep. And his homie Marcos trains Egis since Robert spoke highly of him. They both know it's business, nothing personal.

Oh yeah forgot about that aspect... so we might see robert face off against his friend too in marcos in Mean Machine corner.

This will be on the same night as Donaire vs Casimero. Going to have to dual stream these.

yeah it’s getting ridiculous how they’re not putting Rashidi in tough by now.. he should be the next guy to face Hooker

Avacado-Gutierrez II and Felix Alvarado title defense on the card as well. Golden Boy gotta get Speedy Rashidi a fight.
