Oscar says that he's willing and ready to make the fight saying that he loves working w/ Arum and have worked with him successfully in recent years. Dangerous fight for Crawford.
I think Vergil's power is legit and Crawford's been getting lit up in the early rounds in his last few fights.
Lit up?? He was down 29/28 to Brook and Brook had not landed anything hard. Stop wishing and try watching
Ortiz without a doubt in my mind KO's Bud. His hand speed, punch selection, angles, intelligent pressure, power and accuracy would all give Bud hell.
great fight. slight edge to bud, this time next year, ortiz takes him. first time i saw ortiz, i said that in 5 years he would be unified ww champ. i see nothing to change my mind other than him possibly moving up to jm before then.
Stop! Ortiz hasn't beaten anyone within 10 light years of Crawford. It would be like me saying boots ennis schools and kos Crawford.
Be my guest, quite frankly I'm not sure if I would pick Bud to beat Boots Ennis at this point either. Ennis actually impressed the hell out of me against against Abreu, a guy that Kavaliauskas struggled with mightily. I had their match a draw on the RBR. Egis didn't come close to stopping or even badly hurting Abreu, Ennis destroyed him. Egis had enough to drop Bud though, well what the hell would the far faster and far heavier handed Ennis do? As far as Ortiz not fighting anyone within 10 light years. I disagree, he destroyed Herrera, who while yes, had seen better days, but Herrera did dominated one of Bud's best wins at WW in Jose Benavidez, from start to finish. As far as Vargas goes, only the elite stop him, arcia, Spence and yes, Ortiz. Also, Ramirez tried with all his might to stop Orozco, Ortiz did it with ease. Same for Brad Solomon, who's fairly slick, so slick in fact that he performed better against Alexis Rocha than Speedy Rashidi Ellis recently did. Those opponents might not seem like much, but they;re a damn fine barometer and it shows me that Ortiz's level is quite high.
Fishnets must feel really confident with Ortiz. He's a great prospect and a future champion, but he should slow down a bit. Ortiz need about 3 more fights before he can take on Crawford. He need to brought up more gradually.
what bud was doing to guys at 135 and 140, is what ortiz is doing at 147. bud is to ortiz, what all those little guys were to bud back then, too small for a guy destined to be much bigger. ortiz is just starting to come into his own, bud needs to catch him before he does.
Terence did not had anyone with Ortiz power and S/C level in the ring. Yes. Terence barely defeated Machine just because he had better strength and was able to use it. Terence is from U.S this doesn't means that he is even more skilled than Machine. Funny how Terence didn't get this one count vs Machine. Protected kid. Yeah, he defeated Machine, this is truth but Ortiz will destroy Terence and there no ref not cards will help him.
It don't make sense to put Ortiz in there with Crawford because he gon lose. Just like Canelo getting hyped up to go in there with Mayweather. I know you gents love to hate on Crawford because he is the best out there. What I would like to see is for him to clean out Al's stable and then give those younger guys a shot. Ortiz done already said that he is not ready for Spence, if he feels that way about Spence then you know he ain't got no business in there with Crawford.
