OPENING SHOT DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS: In November, Vergil Ortiz Jr. was in scintillating form when blasting out Erickson Lubin in two rounds at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. Southpaw Lubin made the mistake of going to the ropes early in Round 2, which invited the home fighter to let his hands go with a devastatingly accurate assault, punctuated by a series of rights. Lubin was out on his feet when referee James Green jumped in to save the stricken fighter from further punishment.
