  • Before you click to watch the video, take a look at Oscar’s face. He has the sinister look for the envy for money. 🙂

    • Scooby, he’s the Mexican -American version of Don King. Hopefully he doesn’t live as long as that guy.

      • No he isn’t ! He’s a legend of the sport and never ever was accused of robbing a fighter like Don King did so many times..

  • Oscar is a shit human. If he fucks Vergil up , people will hate him. Vergil is a good man. Oscar is a puke.

    • And your an asshole, maybe too dumb or young or both to understand the LEGEND Oscar is..
      Take your hate and take it to another website to spew it.. Here we are hard core dying boxing fans, no racism, no hate and over all we are not disrespecting any champions no matter what..

  • This guy has only 2 KO’s in 21 fights? I don’t think fight fans will come out for this one sided exhibition.

    • Jose. True,But lets not forget that Ortiz called out Crawford mid last year but Crawford laughed it off. Who is he gonna fight if the top guys wont accept a fight? Reason they wont is big risk, low reward. Virgil nor Crawford are huge draws. Apparently, crawford didnt take that risk even though im pretty sure he wld still win

  • Oscar with his red (drug/alcoholic) face trying to convince the world he’s a good promoter! Scumbag

    • if it bothers you so much why are you watching the video? IF, if he’s all that that is his problem. what is it to you?? don’t watch the fights he promotes PERIOD.

    • Borimex: aint that the damn truth. Lol
      I remember when he first started promoting. He treated us fighters very well! Great rooms, food vouchers, pay, etc… then he went to shit and now cares more about fame and money then the people that are making that money for him. Sickens me!

    • I didn’t think a guy like you BoriMex who loves and understands boxing could disrespect a great champion like him in such fashion… Sad..

  • whats going on with Oscars head.. seems to be getting bigger and bigger, while his neck is getting shorter and shorter

  • the only real problem is this guys KO record and the fact that he stole another jackasses fight name lol typical for fighters these days waiting and waiting talking internet crap and fighting home depot workers all claiming their the GOAT *yawn*

    • Oscar was sick and never ever chickened out of a fight, I thought someone like you Arturo would be aware of that..
