Vergil Ortiz vs Keith Thurman

Barboza vs Frank Martin is actually a really good fight.

I think prime Thurman would have a decent chance of beating Vergil at 147 but currently he’s always been suspect when it came to how he reacts to body shots on top of being long in the tooth and riddled with injuries. I don’t like his chances to make it through a full camp, let alone to make it the distance against Vergil. With the amount of injuries Thurman has and the amount of health issues still lingering over Vergil, this fight seems almost guaranteed to fall through.

 

I don't have much hope for Ortiz vs Thurman to come through. And even if it did Ortiz is going to be too much for the older fighter.

Barboza vs Martin is a good fight though.

 

I like One-Time but he's going to get badly hurt.

Barboza vs. Martin sounds interesting.

 

Part-time is way too inactive to think about taking on any of the division's top dogs.

 

thats a big IF

Keithy will most likely get hurt real bad…

If these 2 were to get in the ring.... I would still favor Thurman based on what they do in the ring when they are actually in the ring. Thurman's IQ and ability to adjust trumps the power that Vergil is to bring.

Like you I wouldn't be too confident that one let alone both of them make it through camp without an injury that cancels the match up, though.

 

Damn. Killed by Red Foreman.

 

Yeah man I always tripped out anytime I ever saw him in any other role … as Robo Cop was the 1st role I ever saw him act in - he will always be
Clarence Boddicker to me!

A stacked 154 and this is the best Ortiz can get?

 

Keith already lost to one Vergil (Hunter), Ortiz would hurt him badly. If you can’t stop Mario Bumass Barrios you’re not stopping Vergil and that’s the only chance he has.

 

Ortiz has actually proven to be a good fighter and has beaten good fighters, unlike Itauma who has beaten leftover cadavers.

Ortiz wide points win here, Thurman is old and inactive but has enough experience and skill to stand by the final bell.

 

Well I was picking my man Tszyu to stop Thurman when the fight was mooted and Ortiz is even more dangerous I think he stops Thurman after 6 rounds.
