Anyone catching this tonight? It's on Dazn so not seeing it here but happy to hear Ortiz is making a long-awaited return after being sidelined with his serious medical condition. Not long ago he was one of the clear favorites to grow into the welterweight division and make major noise. Now however he is campaigning at 154 and the fight with Lawson is contracted as a catchweight. Once upon a time Lawson was touted as a heavy hitting prospect with a sharp jab but the shine has come off after being ko'd a few times and inactivity. He's 2-0 since being ko'd by Charles Hatley in 2021. All indicators are Ortiz feels very comfortable thru training camp and on weight absent the problems of the past. An in shape Ortiz should comfortably have his way with Lawson especially the body shot machine we saw coming up.
Ohara Davies vs Ismael Barroso fight for the wba interim 140 belt on undercard. Not counting old man river Barroso out here. Actually wanted to see this one.

. Just like that 40 year old mule kick punching Barroso is a top Jr welterweight. Ready for a strap. Only saw a clip. Davies had the look on his face as the ref waved it like he had no idea what hit him. Crazy start to 2024


. Call me nutty, I don't doubt shopping doctors to come to an agreement and that goes for many promotions. In the name of business and all. Shame is that Barroso owned the night. Blew me away as he set big bomb left counters on Davies with ease. Really want to see Vergil Ortiz steady weight range after the Lawson charade. Safe to say not heard the last on failed medical allegations.
