Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Indicates Vergil Ortiz is Willing To Go To Australia To Challenge Tim Tszyu

He needs more than 1 round in over a year. Let him dust off a top 10 contender to shake the rust off and then go for the title.

Ortiz needs at least one fight against a live body before stepping to Tszyu.

That's probably the only fight he can think of for Ortiz. There's plenty of 154 guys to choose from to keep anyone in this division busy. Most of them have been fighting on PBC cards.

It's the only title fight besides jermell and he fights once per year maybe.

Tszyu should be the target of anybody trying to become champ at 154

Why not put him in with Xander Zayas? Both young, Zayas is 18-0. That is the step up fight.

But nah, throw Ortiz in with Tszyu, who is KO'ing big time 154 hitters and Ortiz almost certainly gets smashed by him.

Oscar goes from sounding like he knows what he doing to a total moron weekly.

I like Ortiz and give him a couple of fights he has a shot but coming off his health issues, layoff, rounds, etc etc, I would advise on taking a couple of fights against decent competition and take it from there. I honestly think that's the plan by his handlers but Oscar always likes to talk a bunch of sh**.

[Bronx2245]

I wouldn't do that yet! Jesus Ramos, Xander Zayas, Charles Conwell, or Erickson Lubin, then the title shot!!!

[Gideon lock]

That's a badass fight

[F l i c k e r]

I doubt he is.

There is no way they are making that fight anytime soon. That has the potential to be a completely massive fight in a couple years. Puerto Rico vs Mexico. If those two are still undefeated in 2025 can you imagine?

Vergil vs Tszyu is a great fight, Do it now as far as I'm concerned. If vergil wins he becomes a star. If he loses oh well.

lol what does he mean "willing"? mother fucker, you're the B-SIDE, you're going to Australia or there will be no fight. Pack those bags.

Exactly what he says, "he's willing," which means he recognizes he's the B-side and will follow any orders from the A-side. As oppose to Jermell Charlo making all sorts of excuses like fake injury. When's that guy going to come back, btw? Don't know why some fans can be set off out of nonsensical things.
