    It's easy to pass the "eye test" when you fight the clowns Ortiz has. The same people who query Tszyu's credentials are bigging up Ortiz who has beaten nobody.

    Plenty of guys look great against cherrypicks. And then they get in there with legitimate guys and have their careers ended. I like Ortiz but he needs a couple of fights just below Championship level before he gets in there with someone this good.

    I may be proven to be wrong (and I will be in here to congratulate Ortiz and his fans if so) but I seriously doubt it.

    Gotta love Tim for taking on the best fighters who will face him. The kid is THE example all fighters should follow, as boxing would be prime again.

    Good matchup. I’ll wait to see how Ortiz does in his tuneup, which he should win within a few rounds, before picking a winner.

    It's never a surprise when any top fighter fights in SA! There is a big reason they do it! ;)

    I'm not a Tim Tszyu fan but I ****in respect that ****.......................he's all man.

    He a legit throwback.

    Vergil, I'd much rather see him against an actual JMW to see where he is, Dulorme ain't a JMW. This is gonna show a little but not a lot. If Vergil hasn't lost much, I think his best is better than Tim's best.

    Seems like he somehow dragged his rankings up in weight with him.
    WBC has him at 6.
    WBA at 1.
    WBO at 7.

    The only one not to rank him is the IBF, and rightfully so. No ****ing idea how and why Ortiz is ranked 1 by the WBA. Just once again highlights how incompetent and blatantly corrupt these organizations are. The only reason for Ortiz to be ranked as the number one contender by the WBA at 154 is either favoritism or someone paid for the ranking.

    He isn't ranked by ring or TBRB though which is bizarre considering his high alphabet ranking.

    Respect for Tim. He is a good fighter who likes challenges.

    I really want to know what will be the odds.

    Huh, haven't checked out Ring in a while. Kinda strange they wouldn´t have him ranked considering he is signed to Golden Boy.
    I guess they will chuck him in there once he smashes Dulorme.

    :shakehead: Poor Dulorme. I always liked him but this is just cruel. They have been feeding him to the wolves since 2018. What a shame, he deserved better. Not that he holds no blame over how his career has unfolded.
