Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Returns, Gets TKO Win Over Fredrick Lawson in One Round

Ever since that one boxer died in a fight he was reffing. It’s not corruption, he’s just scared. In that case he should retire if he’s going to stop fights prematurely now out of fear of a boxer dying.

Its a delicate judgement type of job, you don't want someone to die but this is a grown man who decided to get in there after training his ass off so you wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and wave it off when he has no chance but not too late.

If he can't do that anymore because of a guilty conscious he should hang it up leaving the big fights up to someone fresher.

Chavez/Johnson. But that’s an excuse, because he allowed Badou Jack to damn near bleed to death to the point his ref shirt was soaked and at no point was he thinking of stopping that. That was after the Johnson death.

late March, early April. Hell, maybe early March.

Especially seeing as this didn’t even last 2 min. Sooner the better.

Ortiz is so overrated and why does he still fight at that weight when he nearly died?

The year is 202X. Excitement is in the air as the fighters make their ring walk, the crowd buzzing in anticipation. A world unification between two of the best fighters in the world. The fighters are in their corners as Michael Buffer slurs through the pageantries, clearly several drinks past his limit. Fans in attendance hoot and holler as the fighters look warmed up and ready, sweat on their brow. Only a few in the crowd look puzzled; instead of anxious these fighters look aghast, as if fearful of fighting each other. No one knows, other then the fighters themselves, for their reason of apprehension as their eyes dart towards the third man in the ring: Tony Weeks. The bell sounds and Tony Weeks waves them in. Both fighters approach the middle of the ring, wary and nervous as if ****** to slaughter. Sweat pours through every pore as they posture before each other. Everyone in the crowd is riding high on the anticipation of a good fight. One throws a punch. The other literally leaps away. The aggressor runs towards the other, flurrying in an elementary and amateur manner. The defender desperately flails at the other, desperately trying to fend off the punches. None land but the defender sees a looming body fly into him. In the spaces between seconds, an idle thought enters his head, "So this is what the Titanic felt when it saw the iceberg" as Tony Weeks bear hugs him and waves the fight off. The other fighter raises his hand and relaxes, looking as if he just survived the greatest Colosseum fight there ever was. The crowd boos as Tony Weeks slips away and CompuBox records for the first time, no landed punches in an fight won by knockout.

Well it's 1 of 3 things

He's either simply massively incompetent, corrupt, or unable to ref a fight properly because of some trauma of a fight he was reffing where someome died.

No matter which of the 3 it is, that should be enough stop him being licensed to ref.

It was at 147 that he was having the health problems. He's moved up to 154 now. I don't agree about him being overated. He's a phenomenal fighter. I'd like to see him fight Spence, Crawford, Boots , Charlo, or Tszyu. I think that he hangs with any of them .
