Orozco-Ortiz fight is off. Orozco refused to come down for weigh-in. Ortiz missed weight anyway at 142.5 pounds

It's possible HBO will elevate a fight to the co-feature slot, that's still being sorted out

More from Coppinger...

Antonio Orozco was scheduled to fight Roberto Ortiz in the 10-round co-feature, but shortly before it was time to step on the scale, he was nowhere to be found.

Representatives from Golden Boy Promtions made contact with Orozco in his room at the Renaissance in Los Angeles, and they were informed he had no plans to hop in the elevator and stroll over to the weigh-in being held in the hotel conference room.

Ortiz missed weight anyway. He was 142.5 pounds for the junior welterweight fight.

Sources told ******.com that it’s possible another undercard fight will be elevated to to the telecast, but no decision had been made at time of publication.

Dumb ass....

[paulf]

Neither of them were even close?

Why not just agree to make it at welterweight?

[Lopez_Boxing]

Didn't even try to make weight

HBO will only show Linares-Campbell and the Canelo-GGG replay

[bigdunny1]

This is bizarre so both guys were off weight? Way to blow a huge opportunity co-main event on the same night they replaying the Canelo/GGG fight. SMH

If Ortiz was over anyway it's not for a title why not just increase the weight and have the fight at 145 or whatever?

LOL f#ck both those guys then.

I don't get these mfers who f#ck up TV dates. F#cking up your money + your image + your potential future popularity.
