Interesting matchup. I'm not sure the Ukrainian has the firepower or the chin to hold up against Ortiz.

Will definitely be highly entertaining, great match up. Looking foward to watching Vergil again.

Hope Zurdo or Schofield can be a Co-main for the card. Zurdo vs Dorticos or Schofield vs Duarte perhaps?

This is Vergils time. 3rd fight this year as well. He has the tools and believe he can still be a big star in this sport.

So it's no longer in the Turki card?

WTF is Oscar talking about? This is a bogus secondary belt. Winning isn't going to make Ortiz a "world champion ". What a joke.

I like Vergil, but something tells me this fight won't happen either. He may have already fought the last fight of his career. The stars are seemingly aligned against him.

I get what you're saying.

Being around him in the gym for a bit I thought the kid was the real deal.

With the health issues , switches in training and move up in weight.
Not sure if or how it plays out.

For the record.
I would've chosen Tim Tszyu ( cut fully healed ) over Vergil if or when they were to fight.

Vergil will stop this guy. They already sparr and both know what each other have.

Ortiz is the very definition of a weight bully..Mejicanos seem to be able to drain themselves to near death, eat a couple tortas and rehydrate..guy fights with 0 talent..
