Vergil Ortiz is a problem for the entire welterweight division and that includes Errol Spence and Terence Crawford.
That’s the verdict of Robert Garcia, one of boxing’s most sought-after cornermen and also the former coach of Ortiz.
The Texan fighter is on the verge of competing for a world title following his rise up the rankings and Garcia believes that he’s more than ready.
Ortiz, along with Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, is seen as the future of the welterweight division once Spence and Crawford either move on or move up, but Garcia believes the young fighter should hold no fears of testing himself.
Ortiz’s next move is still unknown, but he’ll be hoping to make a big impact in 2023 and he has one huge supporter in Garcia.
“Vergil has that power and that heart and that chin that you’re going to have to kill him to beat him,” said Garcia when speaking on Young Billionaire Boxing.
“Ennis is going to have trouble with Vergil. Crawford, Spence, you name any welterweight, will have trouble with Vergil because of his style.”
