Dallas Homecoming

As such, De La Hoya needs to have Ortiz Jr. return to Dallas for a homecoming get together towards a high 10 contender after which goal a WBC and WBO 154-lb champion Sebastian Fundora and Terence Crawford if he returns to the load class after his struggle with Canelo Alvarez at 168.

“There’s lots of choices on the market for Vergil. I’m excited. Think about if we will put collectively a Vergil-Spence struggle at Dallas Stadium on the Cowboys Stadium. That may promote out the place. I believe that’s one thing to contemplate as properly. There’s some good choices for Vergil.” stated De La Hoya.
