Comments Thread For: Eimantas Stanionis vs. Vergil Ortiz Finalized For April 29, College Park Center in Arlington

[STREET CLEANER]

Finally some good news.

I pray to the boxing gods that the fight happens as scheduled. 2023 has had too many cancellations.

Just give it up! Haters are gonna hate! Boots was IBF #1, and when Spence vs. Crawford didn't happen, Boots appealed to the IBF for a fight with WBC/WBA/IBF Champion Errol Spence Jr.! The IBF ordered Boots vs. Karen, and gave Spence 120 days to fight Boots for the IBF title! On the other hand, Ortiz Jr. was WBO #1, and WBA #1. Ortiz Jr. decided to appeal for a fight with WBA "Regular" Champion Stanionis, instead of WBO Champion Terence Crawford! Those are just the facts! Hopefully Errol Spence will fight Boots, or vacate the IBF title, and then let's see who is in a rush to unify with Jaron" Boots" Ennis!

Thank you for those details. You are right about haters.

8 months ago, Karen Chukhadzhian was ranked 9th by IBF. Stanionis was not in their top 10 ranking.
WBC, WBA and WBO didn NOT have Stanionis in their top 10 rankings.
These are facts that you can literally Google.

Boots fought a guy that ranked in the top 10. Now Ortiz is doing the same thing with Stanionis who is ranked 6th.

Is it just misplaced toxic hate that you have for Boots or were you not aware of these facts?

This does not need to spiral down to the usual arguments. I’ve given you facts.

You and I know ranking are not the same and in some cases, it doesn't mean jack ****. If it does, 50 year Sergio Martinez who has fought nobody won't be ranked #3 WBA...FACT. Toss the ranking and assess the fighter. Stanionis is way better than the guy Boots fought FACT. Boots still hasn't fought anyone decent to be making claims that Spence and Crawford are ducking him FACT. We know they didn't apply for the mandatory spot that Stanionis and Ortiz put in for the right to face SPENCE FACT. Butaev alone will be the best he has fought if he even choose that fight and he is available. What were u saying about FACTS again? Misplaced toxic hate...Nah Bro more like Misguided FANBOYISM.

You’re disrespecting Vergil by implying he’s doing the same thing Boots did in his last fight which he isn’t. Karen is no where near the level of opponent that Stanionis is. If you truly knew boxing you would know that. Guess who else was ranked in the top 10 by two organizations when Vergil fought them yup the one and only Michael McKinson who was demolished by Vergil in 9. So if anything Boots what’s doing what Vergil had done a yr before. Also, if you want to go by ratings then Stanionis is ranked #6 overall by the ring @ 147 lbs while Karen ain’t nowhere to be found, LOL. Again, don’t disrespect Vergil’s opponent who is a legit top 10 opponent with a journeyman like Karen

Don't mind him. Even a blind man can see that Karen and Stanionis are two totally different caliber of fighters with Stanionis considered the much better one. Before Boots fought Karen, nobody knew who he was even the guy arguing for him as top 10. Dude is obviously a fan boy. We can see who Ortiz is fighting next, let's see who Boots will find next. I 'll almost bet it is another softie and that will be telling. Ortiz is daring to be great for sure

This is a real quality fight imo. The BS title doesn’t matter.

Before Crawford fought Avanesyan, nobody knew who he was. Before PAC fought Horn, nobody knew who he was.
The sand logic can be applied to guys fighting popular fighters.

All I did was counter the fallacy the other guy was raging on about - how Karen wasn’t even ranked in the top 20. That was a straight up lie. Unless of course you as a typical casual, choose to believe lies.

Peiple here don’t seem to speak English. My focus was to disprove the lie that was being peddled - that Karen wasn’t ranked in the top 20. That was a lie. Period.
I am not disagreeing that Stanionis is a good opponent. Kudos to Ortiz for fighting him.
You casuals seem to think that defending Boots means we dislike Ortiz. That is some serious ****** and low IQ mentality.
It’s the same BS you have about Spence and Crawford debate. If I am a fan of Spence then I hate Crawford or Vice versa. Unlike you, We are postal to boxing. We do not idolize fallible boxers.

So yes, you and your ilk are jam packed with misplaced and toxic hate.

[Southpawology]

Stanionis is no walk in the park this is gonna be great

[JakeTheBoxer]

That is a good fight.

I lost my interes about Spence and Crawford, but it is good to see some good fights at 147 being finalized.
