Comments Thread For: Jaime Munguia-D'Mitrius Ballard Set For 2/19, Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Michael McKinson On 3/19

Ortiz is already ranked #1 by the WBO and in position to be Terence Crawford's mandatory.

Funny how Robert Garcia was on video a couple of months ago passing in that mando. As with Ennis camp, they are lining him up for a Spence mando spot. Crawford ruins Ortiz, just like he did Diaz. My suggestion is, let Ortiz vs Ennis happen in an eliminator but as with the previous generation of fighters no one wants to take an L.

Meanwhile PBC is charging folks $80 for middle of the road heavyweight fights ...

Both are money losing operations and both are going broke at the same time. DAZN could not make good fights happen even when they were overpaying multiple times and that start up money is gone. DAZN has to borrow from the open market with interest(already 8 billion in the red) or sell Chisora PPV's or have crummy cheap brit bum cards. PBC is out of money and Fox refuses to pay for guaranteed ratings loser content so now they have to try and get the consumer to pay direct with PPV but PBC does not have good fighters.

"21-0, 2 KOs" ...is this a typo or what !!!!

Munguia could easily get a shot at Charlo or Andrade...what happened to fighting Adames at least after he beat Derevyanchenko who Munguia was mentioning fighting

at least Ortiz opponent is Ranked in the WBO

He wanted Dervy, but Adames won!

WBC To Order Munguia To Face Derevyanchenko-Adames Winner In Middleweight Title Eliminator

“The WBC ordered a final elimination between Jaime Munguia and Sergiy Derevyanchenko,” noted Sulaiman. “Munguia had a commitment which he won. Sergiy has a fight as well December 5. We will revise the order for Munguia to face the winner of that fight.”

Carlos Adames Wants To Face Jaime Munguia: I Want Him Next!

“I’m here to prove that I’m the best middleweight in the division,” said Adames, who trains in Las Vegas under the guidance of Ismael Salas. “I’m very thankful to the WBC for making my fight with Derevyanchenko a title elimination bout. Now that I’ve been victorious, I’m one step closer of my dream of becoming a world champion, and I want to fight Jaime Munguia next. Munguia has a fan friendly style like myself, and I know this is a fight the fans will want to witness.”

I don't have a problem with Munguia swerving Adames, but I do have a problem with him retaining the WBC #1 Ranking! Adames should be the WBC mandatory for Charlo, since Munguia clearly does not want no smoke!

And it was a great night for heavyweight boxing. We don't need your $80 dollars

WE? LOLOLOLOLOL
How much of the purse you collect from that fight?

What does having legit opponents have to do w/t anything? Boots fights on Showtime but is fighting bums like Dulorme over Thurman, Porter, Garcia etc.. who are also on the network. Fact is, Vergil is ranked 1 or 2 on 3 of the 4 governing bodies this fight w/t McKinson will make him Bud’s mandatory for the 2nd half of 2022

The point is it's a bad matchup. How are you going to put a perfected KO ratio of a fighter in Ortiz against a guy with only 2 KOs in McKinson? The WBO is a joke and these sanctioning bodies are the one of the reasons why boxing continues to take a backseat in the reign of sports.
