Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Maurice Hooker fight prediction, card, start time, live stream, how to watch

One of the sport's top prospects returns to the ring on Saturday night in Texas

At just 22, with as many knockouts as he has had pro fights, unbeaten prospect Vergil Ortiz Jr. very much looks like he could be the next big thing in the welterweight division.  Ortiz (16-0, 16 KOs) enters Saturday with the chance to take one giant step closer towards proving that when he steps up in class to take on former 140-pound titleholder and fellow Dallas native Maurice Hooker (27-1-3, 18 KOs) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas (DAZN, 8 p.m. ET).  "This fight is going to be a tough fight and the hardest of my career," Ortiz told "Morning Kombat" in February. "Maurice has been a world champion before. He's in his prime and has a reach on him. It's going to be a great fight and I honestly can't wait.
