Great matchup. Ortiz will be 25. Stanionis is 28. Undefeated, up and coming, ready for this.

Surprised they put "regular" on the fight poster.

I hope they continue to do it. I know us real fans know that the "regular" belt is just a fancy juiced up world regional title. I hope they stop misleading the normal public when they announce it as real.. This is a good start.

Good fight! Am I jaded, or is this one and Plant/Benevidez the only two fights wufadam in the schedule so far?

Good thing for Golden Boy, if it wasn’t for that outfit dazn would have NOTHING

How can you be this obsessed with Matchroom?

[Mammoth]

I only slightly favor Ortiz here

This is very rare these days...last time I remember something similar was when Gomez fought Paris years ago. Good for both of these fighters.

Respect to both guys for taking this fight. This is a fight worth getting excited about.

Hell of a fight. May need to take a trip to see this one. Ortiz is a GUN. This guy has already fought Mean machine and now scheduled to fight Stanionis in less number of fights than Boots who will probably fight another Karen next and still claim the guys are ducking him. Whoever Ennis fights will be telling how much of a Fugazi he is. Am waiting.

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.
