The welterweight contender's next test was going to come against Michael McKinson on March 19 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, as the headline bout of a Golden Boy Promotions card on DAZN.

In his next fight it needs to be against Spence or Duckford or just go to 154. Its not worth it to be laying in a casket for cutting weight.

Depending on medical advice, Ortiz' long term health might be better served by moving up to 154 for his next fight and establishing contender status at the weight where it would seem his future actually lies.

Ortiz had weight issues at 140 also time to move up 154lb

Was his illness that he couldn’t make weight? Scared of McKinson? Or Oscar being a weirdo again?

Dan Rafael said it was weight issues.

I can believe that but I wouldn’t be surprised if Oscar had something to do with it after his weirdness with Mungias fight
