Vergil Ortiz gives ‘Boots’ Ennis “trouble” Robert Garcia says


Via Dan Ambrose: Coach Robert Garcia believes undefeated Vergil Ortiz Jr will give Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis a lot “trouble” when or if they fight.

Garcia admits that fans will pick ‘Boots’ Ennis (29-0.27 KOs) to beat Vergil, but he says he’ll have to “kill” him to win that war.

The pressure that 24-year-old Vergil (19-0, 19 KOs) will put on Ennis will cause him to collapse in the second half of the game, leaving him vulnerable.

What makes it hard to see Ortiz have any chance against a talent like ‘Boots’ Ennis is how he has struggled in his last two games against Michael McKinson and Egidijus ‘Mean Machine’ Kavaliauskas. Vergil looked beatable in both of those matches and got hit a lot.

‘Mean Machine’ wobbled Vergil in their fight last year and put him in danger of being eliminated early in the competition. Therefore, if Ortiz struggles to beat the likes of Kavaliauskas and McKinson, it shows that he will not be able to compete well against a talent like ‘Boots’ Ennis.

“If you ask the boxing world, they say, ‘Boots’ Ennis [beats Vergil Ortiz] because of his skill, he has the power, and he shows he’s the real deal, ‘Boots’ Ennis,” coach Robert Garcia told Young billionaire boxing.

“Skill wise, he canned great; he punches very, very hard. So maybe 90% would say ‘Boots’ Ennis. You can skip him six or eight rounds, but Vergil has that power, that heart, and that chin that you’ll have to kill him to beat him to.

“So Vergil can only do one punch, one round, to win a skirmish. Those are tough guys to beat because they’re not going to come down that easily,” Robert said.

Given the way Vergil is matched by his promoters to Golden Boy, we probably won’t see him mixing it up with a talent like ‘Boots’ Ennis in years. By the time we see them fight, Vergil could have been defeated by someone else, which should dampen fans’ interest in seeing him take on Ennis.

“Therefore, ‘Boots’ Ennis will have trouble with Vergil. Crawford, Spence, you name any weight class, will have a hard time with Vergil because of his style. Vergil won’t give up.

“Vergil will keep his form to go 15 rounds. So you won’t stop him. You have to knock him down to stop him. That’s why I think people will probably choose Boots Ennis [to beat Vergil]”Robert said when asked about Ortiz’s recent fight against Michael McKinson.

“I won’t tell him [Vergil] got into trouble, but it wasn’t his best performance that just stemmed from the trouble he was in. He is sick and is in the hospital.

“So a lot of that has to affect his performance. Therefore, 90% of people will probably choose ‘Boots’ Ennis [to beat Ortiz]but all I know is that ‘Boots’ Ennis was never tested with a dog like Vergil.

“When Vergil gets in there and doesn’t give up after five or six rounds, even though he loses rounds, he keeps coming and keeps coming, ‘Boots’ Ennis will be in hell for the last five or six rounds. ,” said Garcia.

It would be great if Golden Boy started taking on Vergil with quality fighters, but it looks like they’re focusing on getting him in with light touches.

Vergil is being played by Golden Boy as they did with Ryan Garcia. If you look at the warriors Ryan is facing, he is being cooped up with old powerless dogs who are past their prime.

There is little chance of Golden Boy throwing Vergil into the ring with a dangerous boxer like ‘Boots’ Ennis and watching him tear apart.
