Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz: Obviously Comfortable With My Dad In My Corner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Vergil Ortiz Jr. will be in very capable hands this weekend, even if not in the presence of his head trainer. The unbeaten welterweight knockout artist from Grand Prairie, Texas will head into his upcoming hometown headliner versus Egidijus Kavaliauskas (21-1-1, 18KOs) under the guidance of his father, Vergil Ortiz Sr. who takes the lead in the corner this Saturday. The bout--which airs live on DAZN from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas--takes place at the same time as Ortiz's stablemate, Joshua Franco (17-1-2, 8KOs; 1ND) who faces Australia's Andrew Moloney (21-1, 14KOs; 1ND) in a trilogy bout on ESPN in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

It's hard to see this fight going any other way than a real hard toe-to-toe punch out after the early rounds.

Vergil Ortiz never fought Tureano Johnson (who is a middleweight). I guess somebody is publishing things before proof reading the article they wrote.
