Mean machine only has a punchers chance but even that is going to be minimized. Robert knows Mean Machine and is best friends with Marco mm trainer. Robert knows every flaw of MM and knows his training. Then there is the fact Robert is a way better trainer than Marco. Robert gave Marco the head training job in Oxnard when Egis Klimas took over the gym, Marco got a big a$$ stable of world class talent and all the fighters left him except Mm.
MM gases after 5 rounds, can’t fight going backwards, can’t take body punches, drops his left predictably and has lead feet, Robert knows this plus his training. MM was getting beat by a C fighter who didn’t train well because Canada COVID lockdown, in his last fight but was fortunate to land a ko punch. MM gets ko’ed in 5 by Ortiz. I am surprised MM trusts that Marco isn’t compromised by his friendship with Robert.

Teo to fight as co-main for Oscar card in September.. Triller realizes they made a massive mistake purchasing this Teo fight.. and they need to fire Kambosos manager as well.. agree to have Goldenboy run their content

Lopez's triller date is starting to populate. Will triller postpone it again or cancel it altogether? Spence-Pacman and now this fight so far. DAZN might have something planned too. Busy week.

DAZN truly screwed themselves by attempting to completely sabotage Goldenboy’s company.. GBP will be out of DAZN completely soon

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

Predicating your career on being on Oscar's undercard looks like a career suicide to me, at this point. With his habits, years of inactivity, and mushiness, Oscar might not follow through. It may lead to 2 more further postponements for Kambosos. This Lopez fight is doomed. Mr. Kambosos should find a solution out of it.

Awesome, way better fight than watching that bocon Catracha...I bet it will sell more tickets too.

I agree with most of what you said but I don't think they left Marco because of that I think it had more to do with the language barrier but regardless Robert knows all of Egis weaknesses and Vergil is young and fresh enough to exploit them I got him by KO too but I think Egis will show some good things in there and possibly stun Vergil he certainly has the power it's a good next step for better things to come if he can finish him more impressive than Crawford did that would be a statement.

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

where is Benavidez? I know he was having issues with the leg but that seems like forever ago.

he fought really well against Bud until the leg gave out on him. He wasn’t winning but he was definitely holding his own for 3/4 of the fight. If he could get that leg in check I would have loved to see him mix it up with a lot of the guys out here

Great match-making by GBP! This is a very good test for Ortiz Jr.! Unlike Hooker, Kavaliauskas is a real battle-tested Welterweight! I would've rather seen him fight Yeleussinov because he's a Southpaw, and he needs to see that before fighting Crawford or Spence! All in all, still a good step-up fight!

Gonna be a lil bittersweet for Robert Garcia he and Mean Machine are close friends. When Robert left oxnard for Riverside Mean Machine used to drive all the way to Riverside because Robert was his trainer and they had alot of respect but Mean Machine bought a house in Oxnard so that didnt last long.

Didn't know that but that kind of background information is always appreciated. Much appreciated.

[BritJimbo]

So if Ortiz sparks Kavaliauskas out in less than 6, without getting dropped or even wobbled, what does that tell us?

I think it would mean he is ready for Crawford or Spence. After MM, he should be ready.
