Vergil can be further seasoned, he pitches at one speed. 100% fast balls. The result will be contingent on mean machine’s conditioning since the savvy veteran can time the young lion and possibly survive.
My initial prediction is a wide UD for Ortiz. Regardless of the result, my belief is that Ortiz and Ennis are the future of the welterweight division. Both are so entertaining to watch, can’t wait to see them mix it up.
Shout-Out to Golden-Boy and Toprank for crossing the street. Vergil Ortiz and Egidijus Kavaliauskas have a particular set of skills and punching power that puts them both at great risk. Egidijus Kavaliauskas, has been KO by Terence Crawford, but before the knockout came, Kavaliauskas tested Crawfords chin ; I wonder how Vergil takes a punch from Egidijus, who happens to be the biggest puncher that the kid has faced thus far.
Boots is the real deal. I favor him to beat Ortiz Jr., but it won't be easy.
Boots at the moment has more tools at his disposal. My only reservation going into the lipinets fight was his beard. He wore some monster shots very well. Some spectators took it as him having a leaky defense, but my feeling was that he didn’t have any respect for lipinets power.
These two are going to be 1a/1b. Mix in prograis, lopez, Garcia, Haney and possibly Lee and we’ll have a revitalized stacked division that isn’t just a three headed monster. People say boxing is dead, but the future looks bright
Wooeee! This is a ****er! This is a toss up with entirely different narratives supporting each man’s path to victory. Oscar knows what it takes to be truly great. He lined up Canelo for stardom, and if Ortiz can get past this fight he’ll be well on his way to p4p status in 3-4 bouts.
