When Boots RAN away from 147, who did he fight at 154? Dulorme. A guy Boots had destroyed 4 years earlier. Ortiz could have fought any of the title holders at 154 but he chose to fight Boots' left overs AND you are ok with that. Was Dulorme a killer when Ortiz fought him?

he couldn’t make 154 anymore. What do you want the guy to do? He’s younger than bootsy and again look at their records. Bootsy can Madrimov and bohachuk why not? Why not have petitioned to fight bakram? Just more excuses to duck fights at 30 years old lol

Why can’t you answer a simple question? When Ortiz ran to 154, he fought Dulorme. A guy Boots destroyed 4 years earlier.
Why would Ortiz duck ALL the guys at 154 to fight a no hope Dulorme?
Very soon Ortiz will move to 160 because he can’t make 154 anymore even though he’s younger than Boots, what will your excuse be then?

Bro you are not making sense.
1. Vergil didn’t call out everyone at 154 like bootsy
2. He hadn’t fought in 2 years almost died from auto immune response and has since fought bohachuk and madrimov

I truly don’t understand why you don’t want Bootsy to fight anyone? How can you stand for this cab driver fight? Another cab driver fight. He’s 30 years old and hasn’t fought an opponent who had to fight for a title in his entire career. It’s nuts you’re defending this. If Ortiz was fighting a bum like this guy Bootsy is fighting I would be sick. It’s about fighting better and better guys. All you have to do is look at their records to see who has been doing that and who hasn’t. Stop drinking the kool aid bro

Let’s start with facts - Boots turned 28 years old two months ago. Why do you keep saying he’s 30. He’s not. He’s 9 months older than Ortiz.

Ortiz moved to 154 in April of 2024 and his first fight was the no hoper Dulorme who had been destroyed by Boots 4 years earlier. He started out with a soft touch. Nothing wrong with that.
In the same context, Boots just moved to 154 and is starting out with a soft touch BUT a lot better than Dulorme. I am not defending it. I wish Boots challenged any of the title holders especially Fundora.

Again, unlike you, I have no issues admitting it’s not a great fight. You are discrediting Boots while elevating Ortiz who did the same thing.
Unlike Ortiz, Boots unified two belts at 147.

The fact is Boots and Ortiz will end up fighting soon enough. If they don’t, we’ll know who ducked who.
