Vergil Ortiz Jr. captivated everyone with his dominant win over Egidijus Kavaliauskas to retain his WBO international welterweight strap. Following his round 8 T/KO, the Texas native has definitely proven his worth in the stacked welterweight roster. Now, the big question is, who is next for him? Is he truly ready to face the likes of Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., or Manny Pacquiao?

However, the young force now holds 18 T/KO wins to his name. This itself shows how terrifying Ortiz Jr. is and what is he capable of once he takes up the ring space. Moreover, he never shies away from putting himself in deep waters against any opponent.

That said, in his fight against ‘Mean Machine’, he showed the entire boxing fraternity that he can not only withstand veteran fighters but also dominate them.
