Comments Thread For: Kavaliauskas: Not Surprised Ortiz Wanted This Fight, He's A Warrior

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It didn't take any persuasion to get Egidijus Kavaliauskas on board for a fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr. A two-way risk is in place for this weekend's welterweight bout, which airs live on DAZN from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Kavaliauskas enters the bout with the locally based Ortiz (17-0, 17KOs) having rebounded from his lone career defeat--a December 2019 stoppage loss to WBO welterweight titlist Terence Crawford--with an eighth-round stoppage win over Michael Zewski last September.

Three great main events tonight. All pretty high stakes stuff too. I have to say probably most excited for this fight but Rigo/Casimero is right behind it. Then just the drama between Franco and Maloney makes that one super intriguing as well.

Mexicans are indeed warriors. Look at Jose Benavidez who took a bullet wound to the femoral artery and shattered the bone, yet was still in the fight against Crawford. Canelo would destroy Crawford. Breadman knows it.

Kava can win this if he can wet Ortiz' powder. Ortiz might not be up to speed yet in experience. He was born with the power, but he has to learn defense.

To out do Bud, Ortiz has to take less damage and he has to win. The smart money is on Ortiz, he's the house fighter, but it wouldn't surprise me if something went wrong. Any kind of win by Ortiz, where he gets busted up, is about a lack of experience.
