It's a title fight what more do you want? Fundora is fighting Thurman and Ennis is ducking. Murtazaliev would be a good option.

Ennis is doing what Ortiz did: acclimating himself to the new weight. Ortiz didn't begin his 154lb campaign with Bohachuk. I would've preferred a more formidable opponent for Ennis like Jesus Ramos, but I understand the Lima match-up.

I understand the Lima match-up.

Me too. I liken it to Mayweather - Bruseles.

The constant negativity on here is really wearing. Boots is obviously aiming at the top guys at 154lb. Despite some back and forth I suspect Boots - Ortiz will be next.

The silver lining is that Lima is WBC/WBA/IBF ranked, so this is a valuable tune-up.

I don't think Ennis/Ortiz will be next, forgive my pessimism lol. Even-though I think Lubin is decent preparation for Ennis, I expect Ennis/Tellez and Ortiz vs. Fundora/Murtazaliev. I don't envision GBP/MR working together to make Ennis/Ortiz if there's no title on the line....but we will see. Besides, a title fight is long overdue for Ortiz.

Vergil was coming off health issues.

Inueo and Crawford faced Champions after moving up, no acclimated needed.

You still don’t get it dummy. I’m talking about guys who have been a champion in their careers. Inoue has been champ in his career, so his previous accomplishments give him an edge in negotiations. He was the bigger more accomplished name in those situations. Ortiz hasn’t been a champ a single day of his career. He has no pull, no legacy, no single reason to have any champion give into his demands. I swear, it’s always the same demographic of fans that really are the dumbest and out of touch. Go watch soccer.

You're an IDIOT, watch Zayas fight a Nobody at the level of Ortiz and you will still d_ck ride him. Zayas HAS NO PULL and won't even attract flies in Puerto Rico where there in No Money. Your fcuking r_tarded man.

WHERE IS TOP RANK OFFER. Nada they don't believe in their WBO CHUMP.

Zayas will fight a Nobody just like his last fight, Guaranteed.

Ortiz fought former 147lbers in Lawson and (a 21-month inactive) Dulorme to begin his 154lb campaign. Even-though Ortiz was returning from his own inactivity, those were still poor opponent choices. Lima is a sensible debut opponent, even if he isn't what we actually want. I also believe that Ennis doesn't need acclimation, and I hope he proves us right with a dominant performance. Fortunately, Ennis (October) and Ortiz (November) are on a similar schedule, so an immediate match-up is a realistic option. Do I think it'll happen next? No, but I do think Team Ortiz chose Lubin in order to prepare for Ennis...similar with Zepeda facing Farmer to prepare for Shakur.
