Vergil Ortiz left Eimantas Stanionis dry.

Id like to see Ortiz vs. Tszyu at the end of the year.

Glad Vergil made the catchweight nicely, once he gets more active it be more comfortable to cut down to 154.

By the way, while I am still pissed I couldn't go to the Stanionis vs Ortiz Jr fight, I hope he is alright and is still able to compete at a more stacked and active division.

Throw Jermell back in there, maybe even Crawford & Ennis. Potential for some really great fights.

I'm dreaming, I know

Totally unrelated to this but Ariel Helwani is reporting that Joshua vs Ngannou is a done deal . So much for fighting Hrgovic.

That would be a banger if Vergil is still Vergil.

I'm curious for this fight to see if he's still the same guy he was. This opp is a setup opp for an early KO so if Vergil has problems or doesn't KO him then dude might not even be the same guy anymore after all his health issues.

Wow. Ngannou got thrown too the wolves in boxing, but he's making that money & sh^t he'll have fought 2 of the 3 guys on his wish list if this is legit.

Was this always a catch wight or was it made into one?
