Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Drops Michael McKinson Twice, Stops Him in Ninth

[El_Cholo]

Mikey McKinson was always gonna struggle against a puncher with an intense work rate. But these people who are saying McKinson just wanted to survive, are doing him a disservice. He came to win. That was evident from the start. Just because your not good enough and are finding it tough in there, doesn't mean your just trying to survive. McKinson had pride, and he put it on the line. He just wasn't good enough. But he managed to go further than the 18 before him. Not the actions of a guy just wanting to survive. He deserves more credit.

wanted to quit after the 8th, he was in that much pain, but went back out, even got up a 2nd time when the ref thought he was going to jack it.

Who's up for Benn? I think Benn beats him, but Hearn crap too? Overkill, Virgil better stay home.

There’s a reason Hearn is trying to cash out Benn against Eubank Jr. He isn’t on Ortiz’s level.

Ortiz looked weak. Didn’t look like much of a puncher. Mckinson is one of those guys I really don’t care to ever see again. Doesn’t know how to throw punches worth a lick, only knows how to spoil and fight like some ***** cat. Don’t know why these guys become boxer’s.

Ok, fight Avanesyan now.

Avanesyan would have to grow some balls first and stop avoiding Ortiz.

You know who gets hit a lot losses alot of rds and was put roller skates by a damn featherweight Terrence Bud Crawford gets hurt In almost every fight he's had.

Crawford is a counter puncher that takes risks. Ortiz is a come forward brawler that gets clipped. There's a difference. The Gamboa fight was almost a decade ago..

[Realizniguhnit]

That’s true. Mean machine and Gambis hurt him bad. He has a weak chin.

Maybe you didn't see Mean Machine hurt Ortiz and knock him down.

I think Benn should face Rocha.

McKinson definitely got the fight beaten out of him. It was his toughness and conditoning that allowed him to get up from the last knockdown.
