Hope he is ok. I wonder if anybody knew he was fighting this weekend?

[slimPickings]

Whatever it is hope he gets better soon. Not exactly a fight I was looking forward to anyways.

Rashidi Ellis would be a great replacement.

That’s a shame. Was looking forward to this

Every time I hear about boxers pulling out of fights at short notice my default thought is that something went wrong with the cycling off of peds. We are told the majority of pro boxers are on them - everyone except our favourite fighters. Right?

These injuries and illnesses seem to be happening more frequently too. I would have thought that Ortiz is clean but unless a medical exam is done by an un-biased org then doubts remain.

Uh Oh...the wheels are starting to fall off this bytch. Oscar is mad that Dazn / Hearn didn't have his back on the Mungia fight, so he called Virgil to inform him that he just came down with a case of the flu. Dazn id starting to pull out of America (except for Canelo fights) and Oscar is starting to realize that the bienestar checks are beginning to dry up. Man - o -man looks like there'sa problema in MEH - HEE - COE!
