Terence Crawford vs Vergil Ortiz Jr - who wins?

Because respectfully, Ortiz gets trashed. He has a shot Because Crawfords chin is suspect, but realistically he gets timed and dispatched after retaliating with winging punches. I'd have Ortiz fight winner of Spence fundora before Crawford. Have him become champion at least

 

I think Ortiz is an incredibly fierce fighter, all action with very good power, a true warrior. But I think I would go with Crawford because of his switch hitting style. I think at some point Crawford will catch him with the punch Ortiz don't, similar to what Bud did to Brook. Just much later in the fight.

 

What lessons ? I said Madrimov would be a tough fight. I rated him. He is stylistically tougher. Ortiz has a chance especially because Crawford is getting older, but I think it's wishful thinking to make him the favorite. Bohachuk gets washed, no way

 

Vergil Ortiz is better than Kavaliauskas and hits harder so it's pretty sound logic for someone to think Ortiz beats Crawford, but it ignores Ortiz vulnerabilities and Kavaliauskas has better timing and footwork imo. The perception of Crawford being chinny might also be overblown based on the Madrimov fight

 

Crawford vs Ortiz will likely look something like Canelo vs Berlanga.

 

No.... Crawford amd Canelo are similar in skillet virgil is p4p a better fighter than Berlanga

 

Yeah?
We’ll see - there are levels to this
Ortiz NOT on Crawford level imo.

 

Ortiz would be the best fighter Crawford ever faced. Let that sink in

 

After seeing last performance, I think Bud tears him up.

 

No güey dude Your dreaming.
Ortiz is still a highly touted prospect / contender at this point.

 

I will admit you're right only if you get your predictions right. We will see if Ortiz can beat Crawford

 

I think the boxing community has turned Crawford into something he is not (a master boxer). Crawford is a mix of a skilled brawler with above-average boxing skills, and great athleticism all mixed in in one. When I think of master boxers, I think of fighters like Floyd, Pernell, Marc Too Sharp, Loma, Rigo, Leonard, and Benitez. Crawford is none of that. I have also noticed a pattern where we overrate his opposition to make him look better than he actually is.

Look. is Madrimov more "twitchy" than Virgil? Yes. Does that mean he is a better fighter or boxer? No. For example, Lara is more twitchy than GGG, but GGG is widely considered to be the superior boxer and fighter. Winky was more text-book than Jermaine Taylor, and we see what the results were. If Madrimov and Virgil were to fight, I would favor Virgil by stoppage just due to the fact he has superior power, talent, and his ability to let his hands go.

Virgil would be the best fighter Crawford has ever fought and the hardest puncher. Anyone using a weight-drained Spence as a measuring stick on how Virgil would perform is crazy. I would favor Crawford by decision but I would not be surprised if Virgil actually won or if it was a draw.
