Vergil Ortiz confirms move to 154

The rabdo-myolosis confirmed it -
fainting at this latest weigh in after that all but seals his fate at 147lbs.
Time for the young man to move up - been time after the “Rabdo” really

 

Yeah but he could end up having another flare up even at another weight going up, could be a internal genetic issue i've had similar but still haven't been able to get a clear diagnosis.

 

Pity he didnt figure this out a year ago.

 

On that I ain't sure

 

Another guy that Jermello will duck.

 

I don’t think 7 lbs is enough myself. He honestly doesn’t need to be cutting any significant amounts of weight at all after multiple cases of rhabdomyolysis in the last couple years.

 

Well hopefully for him & boxing in general
He will be good to go
Talented kid.

 

Vergil is only 5'10. He should be able to make 154 comfortable. He doesn't have some huge frame. His walking weight realistically should be around 165. Cutting below 150 is probably what got him.

 

Based on what?

 

Who else has Mell ducked?

 

Timmy from Sydney.

 

I doubt it was a duck, but I do believe he stretched out the whole injury thing to make sure the Canelo fight happens. I can’t blame him, you can’t pass up that type of opportunity.

 

Good move to 154, Boots Ennis ain't there
