    Vergil Ortiz Appreciation Thread: How Much He's Improving

    I never make appreciation threads, but after seeing how eager this kid is to fight everyone and seeing how much he's improving I had to. Man, like Porter says, this kid got the juice. He's got that GGG jab. Honestly one of the most powerful jabs in boxing right now. He's greatly improved his head movement, though he get clocked with that uppercut from MM. He's staying much more composed after he hurts a guy, although he kinda goes buck wild when get hurt, but that makes for some entertaining @ss fights. He's got the heart of a warrior. I mean for real I don't see that type of grit in many new boxers today. He got rocked badly, then after taking some seconds to recover he came forward and marched Kava down, to eventually hurt him the body. This kid definitely isn't perfect but hes got a bright future ahead of him. Those wondering if I think he beats Crawford, I'm still on the fence. My initial reaction was Bud by stoppage but when I broke this dream matchup down some more, I think Vergil will be able to hurt Bud frequently enough to prevent him from walking forward. Vergils jab maybe be able to negate some of Bud offense meaning the chance of Bud getting to the kids chin is slim. I mean the way Bud put Brook out was crazy, but look at Buds face after the fight. The fight only lasted 4 rounds and Buds face was starting to swell from Kells jabs. Though with that said Vergil is still a vulnerable fighter, which is no good when fighting Bud. If I'm being honest, as it stands right now I'm about 55 to 45 or even 60 to 40 for Bud, because of the experience gap between the two. But give Vergil a few more step up fights, and I'm picking him for the upset.
