Ortiz did what he had to do against an awkward dude with little power. Wouldn't mind Ortiz against any of the top guys but we obviously all want Spence/Craword first.

This is the other angle which proves it was nothing more then Ortiz winding up and slipped. Mean machine landed nothing in that exchange. This is horrible production work by DAZN which never showed this angle replay after the round and waited until 51mins mark of the fight broadcast to finally show it and worse had announcers who missed it real time. Ref had this same angle view and caught the slip and Ortiz was clearly not hurt here which is why he immediately jumped up waving that it was slip.

time stamp from the full fight 51:56 is clear. If anybody knows how to create a gif you can slow it down and see no punches landed in exchange just Ortiz slipping

Rewatching the fight, it seems at the start Vergil was reluctant of throwing with his right arm instead resorting throughout mostly with his left in the rest of the fight in which he missed multiple times, he also seems to not use his high guard as often instead using as stance where he covers one side of his head in which Mckinson capitalized on his vulnerability by throwing inside or around his guard while moving around.
Vergil would had shown more head movement and footwork if Mckinson had sufficient power so he probably thought that since his opponent is not a hard hitter he could be fighting more offensively to finish the fight soon however his most dominating rounds where in the later rounds 7-8 rounds where he boxed countering every time Mckinson tried to be throwing a looping hook or jab barely landing a few shots.
Vergil instead of targeting the head of a moving target at the start of the fight, he should had been chopping down the tree like he did in the middle rounds 4-6 rounds where Mckinson was gradually starting to become more stationary.
This fight demonstrated his flaws in which from onwards he will he have to work on, but this will benefit him before a more dangerous adversary exploits them.Last edited by Escorpion; 08-08-2022, 07:59 PM.
