Vergil Ortiz fight is off due to Lasik Eye Surgery

[Motorcity Cobra]

My opponent had laser eye surgery 2 DAYS ago and NY commission was going to let him fight. I got LASIK 2 MONTHS ago and because of that I will never be able to fight in New York https://t.co/tqvnTmp3AL

Ortiz Jr is wrong here. NYSAC is very strict and they forced Charlo/JRock fight to be postponed because Charlo had an lasik operation just a few months prior. You have to wait a certain period of time to fight unless the surgery is mandatory due to a medical condition.

so a shtty card just just turned shttier.. Lemeuix-johnson got scrapped when it was the best fight of the night and now this..

Is this guy serious? That is elective surgery that he could have put off until after the fight. From my understanding, once you have lasik surgery you are supposed avoid contact sports like boxing, football, etc. He would be more vulnerable to blindness from trauma.

He just had the surgery 2 days ago.
He's an idiot for even trying to fight right after.
