"Vergil's campaigning at 140 and he's on the verge of being ready for a title shot. We're not targeting one specific champion but any opportunity that's out there.

At first glance I thought it said Victor Ortiz. Almost fell out of my chair.

Another kid that is more deserving of hype than Ryan Garcia

I cant wait to see how 140 plays out in 2019 and 2020! Ramirez, Hooker, Linares, Subiel Matias, Anthony Yigit, Teofimo Lopez, Vergil Ortiz, and all that talent currently fighting in the WBSS Tournament! Is there a better division in boxing? Plus I think Easter Jr. is moving that way too! Lindo Delgado, I see you!

GBP should try to get Ulysse Jr a shot at Hooker instead

A lot of talent at 140 lbs.

[Boxing Hero]

This kid is by far the best 140 pounder.

RGBA is gonna have a prob with both Ramirez (Champ) & now V. Ortiz emerging as a future star in the same division

Golden Boy's best prospect by far. Going to be a world champ soon.

heavy handed vergil is real good. hungry, disciplined and humble patiently waiting to see him develop more and more. early 20s and is going to get bigger and stronger as his body mature. future is bright for the kid.
