Any news on upcoming fights? I looked on boxrec and nothing. This guy was really exciting for the LMW division and I would love to see him fight either Martinez, Canelo, PW, JCC jr. or Lara. Why the hell isnt he fighting!?!? i know he had some visa troubles but hell he can fight in Mexico. I thought he was about to enter his prime and it really sucks he cant fight for now.
Not a visa problem, he stayed illegally in the US and HBO said no thanks. His career is practically over unless the issue is resolved, and that would be some miracle considering the current treatment of illegals is the States.
:fireThat's great news to the boxers with a sliver spoon on their mouths..... Just like azteca said, boxing politics......... That's ****ed up! Can some one tell me how this rising young profesional boxer doesn't get a ****en visa !!!!!! When I know plenty of illegals that get dui's posession charges, domestic violence and all kind of **** get a ****en slap on the wrist!!!!!!! That's ****en bull**** on his ****en promoter too!!! He's a ****en threat and would be a very dangerous champion if not thee ****en champion!!! And given some tune ups with boxers he and martinez put on a competitive performance, maybe even reminiscent of margo/cotto with a coin toss out come.
with his fatass, i hope his promoter aint ON TOP of anything jk...well, there was talks of him fighting martinez in mexico...martinez said he's willing to trade bombs with him in his country, so lets see how that goes....
So since HBO don't want anything to do with him, can't he take his show elsewhere? Or is he under contract with them? It s bucked up, a few years ago we thought Kirkland and Anglo would be heading into a mega fight.. Now look at them.
that's why i hate when fans say "it's to soon, it'll make more money and more sense in a few years" **** NO....what better then when they're young, hungry, and full of agression.....just like bam bam vs ortiz....make that **** now....
he said it was visa problems and that his promoter was looking to match him up with some big names. i sure hope it is not as serious as u guys say it is
At least if they fight then one of them would have been a start by now, maybe both of them... Bam Bam probably won't date too well against a welter Ortiz... He was looking like a beast..
I have always thought Ortiz would stop Rios. Rios is just too open and Ortiz can seriously punch. I think its fair to say with the weight gain he gained also a chin and punch.
He can still Box in Mexico, Cities like Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, all have excellent venues and fans for a boxing career. :deal
I call BS he can still be active in Mexico keeping himself from getting serious Ring rust....dude should be beating up Tijuana Cab Drivers to stay fresh...No reason, or excuse for this ****.....Boxing is NOT an American Sport.
