Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Falls Ill, WBA Title Fight Versus Eimantas Stanionis Postponed Once Again

Cycling of the PED's, aren't we?

"It remains unclear as this goes to publish if Golden Boy Promotions—Ortiz’s promoter, who won the rights to the fight through a December 12 purse bid hearing—will keep the scheduled DAZN date and if Stanionis will remain on the show, or if the entire card will be rescheduled."

I can't see Al Haymon letting that happen. If anything, I could see PBC making Stanionis vs. Ennis instead! What is the illness that sidelined Ortiz Jr.???

Boots would be a great replacement opponent for Stanionis, and would keep their career's moving along in a positive direction for boxing.

There’d be no way Crawford or Spence would avoid Boots if he got to dispatch Stanionis.
It’s a disgrace what’s happening at Welterweight.

Hope it isn't a life endangering illness like last time, hope he has a full speedy recovery. Odd that it happened four days after his birthday.

By the way Rick Glaser had confirmed it didn't involve VADA.

He’s definitely not a reliable source.

Almost Every fucking fight I was excited to see is getting cancelled or moved.

Why in this era of advanced science, diet and training are so many boxers getting hurt.

I dont recall this many injuries during training ever.

What's going on with all of these postponement's, and cancellation's in boxing due to injuries, and medical condition's.
Fighter's now a day's aren't made of the same vim, and vigor as the old time fighter's were, who were just a tougher breed.
I'm not saying that today's should take any unnecessary risk's to their health, and well being.
But some of these cancellation's aren't due to what they're claiming them to be.

Steroids are not only for strength and stamina, but in some cases they can help prevent certain injuries and/or speed up recovery from injury.

Just sayin.

Not that it’s related but Virgil has had a string of bad luck since he left Robert, even when he did fight he looked like sheeit..

Really good post.

so areu saying in times past peds were used more and for that reason there were less injuries/quicker healing and so less fight cancellations?? If so, interesting point you've made

personally, without any direct proof, but some circumstantial, I suspect more boxers are on peds than clean

This is the type of shaait the makes buying fight tickets suck? you get you plane ticket, hotel, rental and then the fight is cancel, FAAAWK!!! I need a private jet so i can fly out after the weigh in. Time to move up and test the waters at 154
