Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz vs. Maurice Hooker Finalized For March 20

[Greenfield02]

Great match up, I believe Ortiz and Ennis are the future of this division, with Ennis taking on lipnets and Ortiz with this fight, we should get a good gauge on these guys.

I’m wondering if ****** Ortiz will learn anything from this fight or did they pay Hooker enough to be willing to take a loss? You can’t seriously believe that Hooker agreed to this fight for any other reason cause him beating Ortiz does nothing for his record and it wasn’t that long ago when he was a world champion before losing the belt to Ramirez. With that being said, I highly doubt Hooker wouldn’t mind being used as a stepping stone unless he’s getting paid a couple millions. It’s like they’re out of options for Ortiz in terms of opponents

I can’t see Hooker going the distance here.

Oh ****... now this is what it's all about.

Big fan of Mighty Mo but I honestly believe Vergil is one of the brightest prospects out there. These are the kinda fights that make it all worthwhile.

Shit... between this and Boots vs Lipinets I'm feeling kinda spoiled. Damn.

When you got a promising fighter in Ortiz and you want to keep him in your stable and don’t know who else to put him up against or anyone else willing to fight him, you will bend over backwards and pay a former world champion millions to accept a fight or risk losing Ortiz in your stable. After all, Ortiz signing an agreement with MTK didn’t happen for no reason.

They're fixing my boy Ortiz a plate. Eat up young man!

[FannonOG]

One sided mismatch.
