Who is that. I just made up the Pizza Delivery guy since Zayas beat a Hot Dog Vendor is last fight, as his next opponent .

You didn't see the fight? Damn... Good fight! https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/832215

if thats all he said in some interview somewhere and the ortiz butt sniffers have jumped on this as the russian guy who is actually 'ducking' the fight, the belt holder lol its the height of embarrassment, a new level

I believe one of the interviews was with Fighthype. Oscar made it clear he didn't want the fight....offering the fight with a built in deal killer was an act of genius. Seems like people see and hear what they want to hear to justify what they feel.

And when will Vergil face the elites at 154? He's just as bad as Boots, but Boots has at least won real titles.

Vergil has fought Bohachuk and Madrimov at 154lbs. Boots is fighting Lima. Boots may have won a vacant title at 147lbs, but which fighter on his resume would not have gotten KO'd by Vergil?

I think Vergil would have struggled with Karen Chukahdzian. I also think he struggles with Stanionis. Vergil is too far along in his career to not have fought a real champion at 147 or 154. Murtazaliev, Fundora, Zayas and the WBA title will be vacant on September 14th. The excuses for Vergil are starting to dry up.

Glory? This is your last shot. Got ktfo vs Charlo. Made into a. Alien vs Fundora. You lose this one you are back to gatekeeper
