Damn, that's a good fight and good step up for the promising Ortiz.

I believe it's Billy Wagner. Not too many boxers up here in the PNW, they're easy to keep track of.

I was a lil more excited before looking up Herrera to notice he's 4-5 in the last 5 years with a best W of Hank Lundy.

Still a nice jump up in class for Ortiz & its a lil more compelling on the front of can Ortiz stop him. Cuz Herrera has still not been stopped so if Ortiz can do it, even if Herrera is older & on the backend of his career, it'll still be a nice lil accomplishment.

Solid test for Ortiz, Herrera isn't the same but still a witty veteran of the sport. Looking forward to it.

I remember when Maurice beat up Danny Tropical Mexican Garcia....

Lol, a "witty veteran"? I didn't know he was a comedian too.

What a trash undercard, but what else is new with these fight cards, especially these streaming service pay wall sponsored events.

With the main event costing at least 40 million, there isnt any money for a compelling, or even competitive undercard bout. Like the Top Rank undercard from last weekend, every damn fight is a showcase fight. The PBC undercard wasnt special either, but at least it was free to watch.

We as consumers have to demand better than we are getting from these promoters and pay services, even if it means we dont buy/support the event at all. That even means not pirating the stream; if no one watches the product, then the folks selling the product need to make changes.

But, that's easier said than done. Hope some of you like this undercard bull**** DAZN and Golden Boy are shoveling to us.

Obviously you are unaware "witty" is a synonym for clever. Tried to be a smart ass, ended up looking like a dumb ass.

Shut idiot, this is basically a free fight, not taking up tv time from anything important.

It's not like you're putting down $70 USD for it, or you're missing out on important programming on an channel that normally doesn't have boxing because boxing took over it.

Don't like it, don't watch it.

So fuck off.
