Following his victory, Vergil Ortiz, Jr. (20-0, 20 KOs) spoke to the media about his first round TKO over Fredrick “General Okunka” Lawson (30-4, 22 KOs) of Ghana. Joining him at the post fight press conference was his promoter Oscar De La Hoya as they spoke about Ortiz’s future and matching him up with WBO super welterweight champion Tim Tszyu.

De La Hoya is turning out to be more corrupt than Don King!
But with “friends” like Sulemain, we’d expect it.
Please elaborate on how Oscar is corrupt?
Why oscar is corrupt ???
And I did not know Oscar and Sulaiman were friends
Sulaiman hates Oscar for running competing ratings in Ring Magazine, which Oscar owns. He says a promoter shouldn’t be doing ratings – conflict of interest.
That is your opinion, state your source on the corruption of De La Hoya? I’m not a big fan of De La Hoya, however, I don’t judge without concrete facts.
This surprises you? Where have you been?
This was a obvious mis- match.
We don’t watch this nonsense, they were all walkovers, we are giant boxing fans but won’t pay to watch crap. Fight somebody already!
It was obvious that this fight was a tune up for Ortiz
Months away from the ring and moving up to 154 of course Lawson was svtaxi driver
i told you
so dont drawn in a glass of water
Really good young man and I certainly root for him! I would rather see him take on at least 1 more fight before the likes of Charlo or Tszyu!! In fact maybe a fight with Mendoza?!
One more fight ????
Right now
Ortiz should fight the big dogs
No more wasting time
Not a good stoppage. Lawson didn’t seem very hurt
The fight should never of happened,, Lawson had a brain aneurysm…..read referee weeks comments …..just imagine Lawson collapsing,dying,and how it would’ve been terrible for family, friends,,how it would haunt mr Ortiz
What happened to workplace safety?
How credible is Weeks considering the last fight he ref’d? If he was this against it he could have refused to be the ref.
Well if he was found possitive 1 time he should not have been allowed in the ring, further more 2 times. I suspect very strongly, that the 3rd doctor was paid to give the negative prov.
