Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya calls out Xander Zayas for Vergil Ortiz fight fallout

[Jab jab boom]

Name a better name than Vergil that is available? Xayas is ducking. This is his biggest pay day. He should face Murtazaliev then since you don't like Ortiz. Fundora is busy with Thurman.

Thurman fight is finalized so that’s bull shet. Vergil is not a major name so all this line you’re talking about is more bull shet. Matter of fact, to use your own point, both fundora and Murt have been champs in the division for a while yet Ortiz has never uttered their names. Yet Zayas, who Ortiz prevail backed out of facing when Zayas agreed to their offer suddenly wants first crack at him. Why is that? Why doesn’t chase Murt? I think we both know it’s because just 2 fights against Ortiz was getting his ass handed to him.

He’s calling himself a world champion, bro. You have to take on all comers when you get to that level.

But I think we agree that they’re ducking Ortiz because they know they’ll be taking an L. The Top Rank Protection Program in full effect.

No Doubt, but it’s the smart thing to do! I’m not sure Zayas could beat Jermell, if he got off the couch and fought him in October!

Las Vegas is traditionally where most of the big fights are held. Is Ortiz not supposed to want to fight there, just because he’s from Texas?

Ortiz does and should want to fight there because it’s a heavily Mexican populated area. I’m just asking what’s the incentive for Zayas as champion who was prevail strung along by Ortiz to give in to Ortiz demands for pay and location?

So Zayas isn’t planning on fighting in Las Vegas then, if the opponents are Mexican or Mexican-American? That’s absurd.

Quack quack.

If Errol Spence or Jermell Charlo put in 12 weeks, do you think Zayas would beat them?

Boxrec shows Ortiz number one those Micky Mouse Belts mean Nothing. Is who you beat not getting gift belts like Zayas. Both Fundora and Murta have beaten No Good Tim Tszyu to become Champion. WEAK. Xayas beat WHO? nobody.

Bohachuk and Madrimov would have both beaten Tim Tszyu and the guy Zayas fought.

Zayas is Champion that he utter. Fundora facing easy touches like wrecked Tim and No Time Thurman. Fundora got wreck by Mendoza who got bear by Bohachuk.

Ortiz beats Tim Tszyu, but Fundora was the lucky one to get thr title shots for thr WBC and WBO. That could have beem Ortiz. He is not with PBC though thus did not get the shot.

Ortiz also would have beaten Tim Tszyu for thr IBF.

Ortiz also beats the guy Zayas just beat, but we know Top Rank owns the WBO thus Zayas gets the gift.

Why doesnt Murtazaliev CHOSE Bohachuk?
we KNOW why. As a matter fact why doesn't Fundora and Zayas pick Bohachuk? We know why.

Where is Zayas offer? Where is the money at? and netwok? Zayss got a GIFT TOP RANK WBO Belt.

I thought Ortiz was going to fight Lubin in October? Zayas ain’t ready for Ortiz Jr. not sure who he’s ready for on the Top 5? Jesus Ramos Jr.? Might be too much for him too? Ramos would be good for Ortiz, if not Lubin.

Right here you were all up on zayas nuts saying he man's up

But now your making all this bs saying he loses to everyone your a clown

[boxingitis]

Sometimes I feel like Dana White should run Boxing.

Fundora, Murtazaliev, Ortiz, Bohachuk, Ennis, Zayas not facing each other doesn't HELP the sport. Where is the BEST VS BEST? It's pointless being a fan Boxing with so much p_ssies.

Why isn't Ortiz demanding his mandatory against Fundora???

So months ago team Ortiz asked Zayas for a fight and gave him a deadline to accept, which he immediately did. Then team Ortiz changed their mind and went in a different direction after stringing Zayas along.
Now Zayas is a world champ and Ortiz has nothing to offer, yet they asked for 50/50 and a location that benefits them. Zayas countered by saying they can fight, but in PR.

Can anyone think of any past instance where a world champion gave up 50/50 and preferred location to the challenger who has never been champion and has no real fan following?

Zayas never agreed to fight Ortiz. Zayas is a became a champion by barely defeating a taco bender. Zayas knows he can make much more money fighting Ortiz, him being the champion means nothing if you are only local in 2 cities and wont generate as much as fighting in Vegas or any other city west of the Mississippi. Zayas knows he will lose, period, and end his reign. He became a coward in his last fight, I was a fan of his because he´s Latino but all that hugging was awful.
