Comments Thread For: 'I'm here for greatness': Vergil Ortiz Jr. plans to line up, knock down every 154-pound star

[BoxingUpdates]

No longer is the spotlight evasive. No more is the dodging by others possible. For Vergil Ortiz, there is no more time to waste. Boasting the imposing record of 21-0 with 21 knockouts, Texas' Ortiz returns to the ring for the third time this year Saturday night at Mandalay Bay's Ultra Arena in Las Vegas when he meets World Boxing Council interim junior-middleweight champion Serhii Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs) on DAZN.

I like the way this man fights. Looking for the finish at all times. Unfortunately the fights he's had at 54 were showcase fights and now he's got a live body infront of him so hopefully it's a great fight and I'll be cheering for Ortiz.

Expecting a War. Possible fight of the year.

If you’re “here for greatness”, you picked the wrong promoter.

Tailor-made for Crawford. Overly aggressive and not defensively responsible, Crawford will dissect him if that fight happens.

Spence ? Ok 2 Texans but one of them looks to be diminished a lot .

We will see how he does this weekend. Easily the toughest test of his career in skill and size.

It could be argued, this is the first real test of his career. Previous "names" that he KOed were long past their expiry date.

If Spence beats Fundora, and Vergil wins Saturday, that fight @ AT & T Stadium in Dallas would be FIRE!!! If I'm Vergil, I wait to see Spence vs. Fundora, but I wouldn't wait forever!
