Hardcore watchers, boxing nerds, and fighters in the pro game have lowkey been anticipating this high caliber bout, as they understand that both unbeaten 🇺🇸Vergil Ortiz Jr. (16-0-0, 16KO👊), and once beaten former Junior-Welterweight Titlist “Mighty Mo” 🇺🇸Maurice Hooker (27-1-3, 18KO👊), possess dangerous 🔪weapons that they are ready to draw at all costs inside of the ring. The fight will be hosted at the 🏟️Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, for their home fans to see in the state. 

Vergil Ortiz since the beginning, has been quickly adopted as the hardcore fight fans newest favorite fighter, citing his perfect punch placement, his attitude, work ethic, and his natural predatorial instinct to inflict pain in a variety of ways. While rising Lightweight 🇺🇸Ryan Garcia had gained the notoriety first due to his popularity, and his skills now rising towards matching it, Verge has gone about it the old school way, with his skills leading to the budding attention of onlookers, and can legitimately make claim as being the best boxer under Golden-Boy’s current stable.

Mo Hooker could always fight, and he has been one that we personally refer to as a poor man’s 👑🇺🇸Tommy “Hitman” Hearns. With a comparison to that likeness, you better bring it, and Mo always been about his business, and gave the best he could give. Even in his lone defeat against Unified World Titlist 🇺🇸Jose Ramirez back in 2019, he proved to be a warrior, dishing out as well as he could take until he couldn’t take it anymore. Being a ranking boxer of note, with his own aspirations, he can also be the litmus test for the young gun that will be standing opposite of him in the corner.
