[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Although both Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have done their best to clear out the logjam near the top of the welterweight division, fighters such as Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Eimantas Stanionis have grown restless.

It's a 50/50 fight for a couple of rounds.

Then Ortiz steamrolls Stanionis, who's not on the same level. He barely squeaked by Butaev.

Ortiz all day, I see him as a harder hitting and all around better version of Stanionis - but I see it going the full 12 because Stanionis showed a lot of resilience/toughness against Butaev (who was also making it a dirty fight). But Ortiz does good work to the body which could be the key to getting a stoppage win.

At least Stanley has one fan. There's a reason why I said he should get a lawyer and sue his manager, Showtime and Haymon. This is the setup of the year. Based on styles and power he had a better chance against Spence. I suspect the stoppage will be by bodyshot. Ortiz late stoppage

It's a great match-up between 2 top contenders in their 20s! I agree, 50/50 fight! I hope the card is stacked!

It'll be on DAZN through Golden Boy, so I'm not really sure who else they can get to 'stack' it - possibly Munguia in another nothing fight but do GBP really have that many other big names?

Nah, they're both aggressive pressure fighters, Stanionis just does it better and has a very good chin. Not quite sure about Ortiz's chin.

Ortiz hasn't fought anyone that could beat Butaev, and I don't know if Ortiz beats Butaev to be honest.

It's a GBP show, but Probellum is promoting Stanionis. Maybe some GBP vs. Probellum in other weight classes? Probellum has Archie Sharp, Charles Conwell, and Bakhodir Jalolov. I'd like to see them on the card if possible.
