Prediction: Vergil Ortiz by Stoppage
Result: Vergil Ortiz by Stoppage
I thought a good Lubin could give Ortiz a fun few rounds with his power and boxing skill, but I guess we didn’t get a good Lubin. Ortiz is a big puncher and Lubin’s chin was always suspect, so we knew which way this was going, but I thought it would last longer. Not to discredit the win but I think this is a very shot version of Lubin and he was pretty bad tonight. Still a solid win for Ortiz against a name and it sets him up for a big next fight. Hopefully one of Ennis, Charlo, Fundora or Zayas is next.
