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

[BoxerFreddy]

Tapalas and Fulton just to name a few.

Inoue was a multi-division champion with a massive fan-base in Japan when he fought Fulton, who surely made so much more money than if he would have fought in the US. Tapales was fighting Inoue after Inoue already had 2 belts at 122.....

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

The Kid is no coward, he wants all the smoke, but his team knows he ain't ready!

Zayas is a world champion. How can he not be ready?

Well... you could start by looking at his resume, then comparing it with Ortiz's. Plus, since when has being a champion qualify you for a serious test, specially in this day and age?

Zayas said he wanted his first defense to be in PR. Ortiz can take it or leave it.

I like both fighters, but neither is a known commodity. IMHO Virgil has fought the better opposition and should be favored. With that being said Zayas just said yesterday in an interview that he is fine w/ 50/50 $ split what he does want is his 1st defense to be in PR. Zayas is the champ, Ortiz is not Virgil needs to nut up and go on the road.

Another reason that I don't particularly care about belts.

Xander is not ready for someone like Ortiz.

50/50 is fair for a Top Rank WBO. They need to get revenue from somewhere. Vegas is more lucrative than Puerto Rico.

Ortiz will just fight a top contender like Lubin instead.

Zayas on the other hand will cherrypick another guy nobody has ever heard of.

Imma hold out hope it happens and this is just public negotiation tactics from both sides........

[A.B Counterhooks]

I hope they get to fight and ofc I got Virgil taking that 0 from Zayas along with the strap but the later will show heart and give Ortiz a run for his money. I just think Virgil a bit more seasoned and a his meaner fighting style could make the difference. Fishnets need to make that one real.

Is Xander gonna use the same hand wraps from his last fight? fvkcing idiot
