Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Beats Down, Stops Samuel Vargas in Seventh

[ramses07]

But we can though since they're saying he's ready for a title and is the future of boxing. That's one of the things I like about Ortiz is that he is honest with himself and understands his place. Like Ortiz, we need to be honest with ourselves he won't do good at this time with other welters like Ugas, Porter, Crawford or Garcia. There's more work to do before we can have him up against the top 147 division.

I tend to agree with this, hes got time. He just turned 22, and if u look at the top WW now, they were fighting tomato cans at that age.

he can get in 4 more fights and then turn 24 ready to take on champions

He looked good tonight, and adjusted well when Vargas started to roll when the punches.

Yes, Spence @ 24 yrs old KO’d Vargas... Vergil @ 22 yrs old just did the same...

spence was 25

Doesn't have to be a champion, I think any solid black fighter would take him out...

Lol yea keep telling yourself that

[indelible]

Wrong

Ortiz whoops Garcia porter and Ugas already I would bet on that that’s how good he is but he’s also no Broner he doesn’t wanna brag but he knows he beats those guys now.

If that fight happened this year he wouldn't win against any of those names. This wasn't a solid performance by any stretch of the imagination. Any of them mentioned that watch this fight can exploit Ortiz's leaky offense.

He did well when he was fighting patient throwing that straight jab but rounds in between he was getting reckless. It reminded me of Jaime Munguia who did the same thing in many of his fights but the moment they matched him with someone that can handle his power and counter punch the energy suddenly changed for Munguia. It's the same that I see will be the case with Ortiz if he swings wild like he was doing with Vargas against a top welter. You are right though in him being only 22 and in 2 years he will be ready.

Virgil Ortiz is just local, but not good enough to beat Erroll Spence, or other champions, he gets hit to the body too easy...Lol!!!

It’s a damn shame when you got Latinos just shamelessly hating on other Latinos smh

Good job keeping them down.

You son don’t know ****tt about boxing but I’m pretty sure you don’t believe what you just typed you know Vergil is the real deal but because he’s well you know you just don’t wanna admit.

It’s blasphemous to compare Munguia to Vergil. The kid is levels ahead of Jaime even @ this early stage in his career. Vergil systematically broke down a crafty veteran that has had battles with some current and past champions. Listen, it’s obvious you ain’t a Vergil fan and that’s fine but don’t diminish the kid skills there’s a reason, so many are calling this kid the future king @ 147. Those that know boxing see that Vergil is a special talent and the heir apparent to Canelo as the next face of boxing. Viva Vergil...

How about fighting somebody like Ray Robinson next?
