    Ortiz was challenging himself, by fighting Tim Tszyu.

    Which was a tougher opponent than Crowley.

      Ortiz has missed weight in both of his fights at "154" too. ****** to take a risk on a guy like that on short notice.

          Damn. First Beterbiev-Bivol now Boots-Crowley. I was really looking forward to this. Hope he has a speedy recovery and Ennis get a good replacement.

            I would love to see that, but GBP could potentially find a way to make things difficult. What GBP should do is let Rocha face Ennis, but they're probably not going to do that either.

            Matchroom should go after Barrios or Cissokho. At worst, get Avanesyan.

              Get Stanionis, Barrios, Cissokho, or Norman in there as a replacement if possible.
              Stanionis not going in there on a month's notice - norman just fought so he might be in shape

                Ortiz did challenge himself, but Tim is no where to be seen. Ennis willing to fight Crawford at 154, but not Ortiz.

                  Bless Cody, my boxing career came to an end just before I was turning pro as I suffered a detached retina and am blind in my left eye still to this day. I hope he makes a full recovery and gets his title shot.

                      What happens when you sign on with a scumbag like fast Eddie LOLLLL nothing but L’s

                      Boots wants to pick on a weak division instead of challenging himself to fight the true challenges at 154 like Vergil Ortiz SMH
