I taught my students the importance of #VeteransDay, which was originally called Armistice Day. I thank and appreciate all Veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. I salute all of you. Nov. 11 is the date World War I officially ended in 1918 .. #VeteransLivesMatter #History

Also, great stoppage from referee James Green. I saw posts of the fight being prematurely stopped but that was the correct call. Erickson Lubin was out on his feet. Great call there .. #boxing #OrtizLubin
Salute to Robert Garcia for going in there immediately with a stool to help out Lubin, real one 🙌

This is not uncommon for Robert. And this also says a lot about his character. Robert would also cut the through the bandage/ tape of fighters so gloves could be taken off. Again, fighter safety is paramount .. #boxing @GarciaBoxing

Johnson improved to 17-0, 8 KOs, taking a step towards contender status with that KO victory over Flaz. Johnson, who is promoted by Top Rank, has demonstrated growth over the last year or so. He’s one to watch at 147 pounds .. #boxing
Speaking of Friday, that was an impressive performance by Tiger Johnson, scoring a KO win over Nicklaus Flaz (15-3, 10 KOs) at the end of round 4. Flaz had a lot of momentum going into the fight but Johnson demonstrated his pedigree. Solid win for Tiger. #boxing @tigerjohnson216

Agree. That’s something he has added to his skill-set over the last year or so. He has become more effective setting up punches to the body. By the way, Katsuma Akitsugi is now 14-0, 4 KOs and has now stopped three of his last four opponents .. #boxing
@FSalazarBoxing @DanielRubinPBTV @ChrisAlgieri Very good body puncher to both sides of the body. He gets it.

With the victory over Astrolabio, Akitsugi has defeated 3 world title challengers in a row. Not only beat them, but clearly dominated each one. He also has wins over 4 unbeaten prospects. Again, he’s a contender right now at 118 pounds .. #boxing @DanielRubinPBTV @ChrisAlgieri
Impressive outing by bantamweight Katsuma Akitsugi this past Friday in Lakeland, Florida, dropping former world title challenger Vincent Astrolabio (20-6, 15 KOs) 5 times before ending matters in round 7. IMO, Akitsugi is already a contender. He’s going to get better .. #boxing

James thoroughly knows the sport of #boxing. He’s also a very good trainer and an excellent follow on X ..
@FSalazarBoxing @GoldenBoyBoxing @princeamari00 @RGMPROMO First time seeing this kid fight. He looks interesting. He's worth watching to see how he develops.

‘Ese muchacho (Ortiz) le pone muchas ganas a su tecnica. Se ve que tiene disciplina en el gimnasio.’ Keep in mind my Mom has watched #boxing since the late 1940s and my uncle Luis was an amateur boxer in Mexico. My Mom would sometimes tag along when he went to train. #OrtizLubin
I watched last night’s #OrtizLubin card at my older sister’s house. My 90-year-old Mom was impressed by Vergil Ortiz and the stoppage win over Erickson Lubin. Based on my Mom’s reaction, looks like Vergil won himself another fan .. #boxing @VergilOrtiz @GarciaBoxing

I agree with Sergio Mora. A fight between Vergil and Boots will sell very well. You don’t need a world title fight to be involved or to marinate it. This fight needs to take place in 2026. Both are in their prime of their careers .. #boxing #OrtizLubin @TheLatinSnake_

So, Vergil Ortiz and Erickson Lubin could talk all they want and project about fighting each other. At the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. Enough with he said this, and he said that. Sign contracts and get both in the ring .. #boxing #OrtizLubin

“That was a great performance. But I’m going show you why I’m the best,’ - Boots Ennis to Vergil Ortiz after Boots entered the ring in the post-fight interview. Both would have a stare down and exchange words before Boots left the ring .. #boxing #OrtizLubin
