Vergil Ortiz Jr. got his first real test Saturday night. And oh, did he pass. Fighting tough veteran and top 5 junior welterweight Antonio Orozco on DAZN proved anything but easy. They swapped rounds until the 6th — the first time Ortiz had even seen that round — when Ortiz shifted into a gear neither […]

Jose Benavidez, Jr. may be popular in Arizona, but he’s annoying to watch fight, backing up to the ropes for dumb reasons like he did Friday night on TruTV in an otherwise easy fight vs Jorge Paez, Jr. At least we had the undercard fight to make it all worthwhile, a power punch fiesta between […]

Hyped prospect Antonio Orozco weathered a couple rounds of tough veteran Martin Honorio giving him guff Thursday night on Fox Sports 1, then turned it on and beat up the older, naturally smaller man. It was another small step forward for an offensive-minded boxer who’s probably ready to graduate to contender after getting a scare […]
