Yeeeee let’s go Vergil. Definitely a throwback fighter gotta respect his desire to be great. When the actions back up the words no one can take that away

This is probably going to be the best fight if Madrimov doesn't run.

Ennis still waiting for Dangerous Mario Barrios or the 140 pounders.

Barrios definitely, but what 140 pounder is he waiting for if he's not taking Teo, who probably was the greatest package for Boots to feast on?

His overall popularity aside, there's not much better opponent he can wish for that Boots gonna be at a definite advantage over (very important) that is still in his prime, is a well known name among boxing fans and by far the best name that could be on resume, and has enough outside BS that can be used to prop up the trashtalk leading up to it like the whole "(Hispanic origin) American known for making racist comments toward blacks" and such.

He is waiting for Ryan Garcia, Haney, and Lopez. He is too scared to go up to 154, unless is supposedly Crawford.

Vergil is a throwback. Dude has a fan in me, win or lose. Him and Tsyzu deserve more praise than the hate they get from the fanboys on here.

And out of those three, Teo is the best combination of status and resume and style and extra headlines (trashtalk), but didn't Boots reject an offer from Teo?

I like Ortiz and I will be cheering him on but I just can’t see him winning this one vs Madrimov
I think he Taylor made for him
Especially if his power doesn’t hold him off , he’ll be right there to hit

I had Ortiz losing to Bohachuk and I think he'll lose to Madrimov.

That was one close fight
I had Virgil winning by a round or two and recall saying that even a draw would of been ok
