Vergil Ortiz Jr.

Unquestionably one of the brightest young prospects in boxing, how does everyone see 2020 turning out for Ortiz? He and Jarron Ennis stand out to me as the 2 prospects that are clearly blue chip talents at WW. Stand out amateur with a win over Richardson Hitchens -- himself a highly regarded prospect -- and 15-0-0 with 15 KO's as a pro. Will Ortiz burst onto the scene this year? @bandeedo -- any thoughts on Vergil? I know he's from you're area, got any inside info? I really like this kid as a fighter, I'm sold on him developing into an elite fighter.

 

Oh **** where did I post it?

 

Very dynamic puncher with great technique, leverage, and deadly accurate. The rarest of breeds in terms of power -- both heavy handed and explosive. He's EXTREMELY well schooled/trained. Has very good head and upperbody movement, but expertly places his off hand EXACTLY where he is most vulnerable when his head stays on centerline after throwing a punch and parries the return fire deftly away. Beautiful feet, light on his feet with excellwnt body control and ability to seamlessly shift his weight around, great footwork.

A total blue chipper in terms of natural talent and ability, but expertly trained/schooled, and highly experienced. Very smart fighter who is very calm and relaxed and doesnt get bent out of shape when he's hit, very confident fighter and executes his gameplan to perfection and has thus far shown the ability to adapt in the rare instance his opponent stays upright long enough to force him to.

This kid will be a superstar. He and Ennis are going to have an epic showdown/s some day.

 

Totally agree bro. This kid's a 100% guaranteed STUD. So much fun to watch too. You're right man, definitely a natural.
