Comments Thread For: Xander Zayas indicates he has accepted offer to fight Vergil Ortiz

[macmike100]

Unless those 20 fights were against relatively light competition, Ortiz is in for a tough fight IMO.

Zayas green still indeed but at least didn't hesitate like Boots did ,gotta give his props for taking the opportunity despite Ortiz being a huge step up in opposition. Imo, Zayas is one the best prospects from PR boxing so im keen to watch what the kid can do at the highest level.

Getting the sense that Ortiz is a bit overrated and Zayas is a bit underrated. This will be a more competitive fight than most are anticipating on here.

Where are Boots´ fanboys?? What a coward. He´s actually a big 147 and bigger than Ortiz. Donpt Afro guys have more muscles? Vergil is skinny. Now unfortunately we get to see 2 Latin prospects in their prime so one of them has to lose. Crawfors is also a coward, always mentioning that Vergil doesnpt want to fight him when it´s the other way around. Ennis and Crawford are both cowards!!

Xayas is the real deal Mexico can’t PR this is a GREAT fight

This is going to be another mistake from TR, too soon just like they did Jared. Good for Xander though he's wanted a big fight for a while.

This is going to be a good fight, it is not too soon nor too late.

This is similar to Schofield and shakur but Xayas is more developed imo. I like this for Xayas. 154 is a den of lions and he has to start somewhere.

You can say this is similar to Morrell jr vs benavidez.

Bad look for Ennis imo.

I'm not falling for it. All of this materialized way too fast. Within a week we had a verbal agreement, now that's been scrapped and a whole other fight has been agreed to and signed?

I'm not buying it.

"Everybody knows that Bud is begging Turki..." , "Freaking Virgil could easily make 147..." What bleeping planet are you from?

I'm guessing he is been sarcastic.

This is an interesting development. I guess that we will see if Zander ready for the big leagues.
On the Boots thing. Plenty of fighters have fought at a higher weight class and maintained their titles in a different weight , so I'm not buying that excuse. I'm starting to believe that maybe Boots is smoke and mirrors. Dude says no to fights then cries about nobody wanting to fight him. I smell something a little fishy emanating from the Boots camp. Smells like a mix of bullshlt and pu ssy.

Well, the pu$$y and a$$ are one next to the other.
