Vergil Ortíz Jr. vs. Maurice Dewayne Hooker

Thinking ortiz is a larger Ramirez

Ramirez is a proven level above ortiz hence I vote decision not stoppage

Hooker is good enough to expose ortiz if hes a pretender I look forward to this

 

I got Ortiz within 9 rounds.
Hooker can catch him though.
I’d like to see if Ortiz can get off the canvas & put him away like we just saw Ryan G do.

 

Hooker does always the opposite of what i think he does.
I think, he will lose, which is a good sign for him.

 

Maurice Hooker only chance to win is in the opening round when his body is still fresh, Hooker reach advantage can be used to violate Ortiz defense in the first round, pushing punches through G-Man style, but he has to be willing to take shots coming in. KO1/TKO1 is the only scenario where Hooker can upset Ortiz. If the fight goes past the first round, 100% chance that Ortiz will KO/TKO Hooker

 

If Maurice Hooker optimizes his larger frame & good speed for punching, he will be able to land something that ends the fight immediately vs Oritz, it has to be done full-throttle at the opening bell before Vergil Ortiz starts consuming his body & soul. This can also result in an early KO1 stoppage of Maurice Hooker if he overreaches and Ortiz catches him with anything coming in, which is a risk he can afford get stopped in one round is much better than absorbing an elaborate ritual beatdown.

 

ortiz is bigger and better. ko in 4. will look outmatched in every way.

 

If Ortiz is the high-potential fighter a lot of us seem to think, he should come out of this with flying colors. Pre 8th round KO for me please.

 

I’m excited, Ortiz is a ****ing machine

 

I like hooker...but I don't see this going past the 4th..not powerful enough or slick enough to keep Ortiz off him...seeing a pretty heavy ko here but I hope not..it's a shame when you see decent fighters get flattened early cos of bad style matchups
