Rock’em sock’em robots. If you are under the age of
55 you might not remember those toys.
I’m 46 and I had them, although they were handed down
100-1 odds that this doesn’t make it 12
50-1 odds something ‘pops up’ and the fight doesn’t come off.
DLH and Golden Boy will see something bigger on the horizon for Ortiz and pull the plug. Then in 6 months he’ll fight a 20-10 journeyman.
Rinse and repeat.
This is better than Ortiz – Tszyu. On paper at least, this is a potential Fight of The Year candidate.
This is a good fight especially after the news of tszyu not fighting. Let’s see if Ortiz has the goods. I say he does!
He does. The real super fight is Crawford vs
Ortiz. I would rather see Crawford-Ortiz than
Crawford-Canelo. Ortiz would give Bud a
chin check like he’s never had before.
I don’t know about that. Im from Missouri, you got to show me! Not really from Missouri though. I believe Crawford runs the table and will retire undefeated even fighting canelo or Ortiz.
Virgil got some heavy artillery. Bud
might get rocked with the bigger boys. Experience to Bud. Power edge to Virgil. Gonna be interesting if and
when it happens.
This is one of those fights that happens once in a while that serves as a perfect introduction for a guest who has never watched a real fight. This one is going down in the books for sure. Let’s hope that it stays on track.
Reminds me of a party threw just for the first Gatti-Ward fight. Most of the guests had never watched a good fight and they were stuffy corporate types. As you can expect, they were hooked.
If this fight occurs, and I mean IF, then I am looking forward to it.
Fire fight. A lot of skepticism due to Ortiz’ battle with rhabdamyolisis (maybe spelled wrong?). If this one fails to materialize at the last minute, Ortiz may lose promotional favor/status. Fingers crossed. And keep in mind the Tszyu fight wasn’t on Ortiz.
Ortiz is in desperate need of a big fight. This should be a good one.
Don’t know Bohachuk but you got to be damn good to beat Ortiz, Vergil is becoming my favorite fighter.
Defending interim title is ridiculous
Odds on Ortizs’ health holding up are not as good as the odds that he wins the fight if it does. His last two 1 round fights haven’t shown much.
Great fight if it happens.
Two of my favorite fighters to watch and they both seem like genuinely good guys
