Vergil Ortiz Jr looks like he wants a piece of Jaron Ennis and is more than happy to step in there to fight him.
So does his team.
This is how his trainer Robert Garcia is speaking at the moment as well.
Garcia is saying his fighter Jaron Ennis does not need a get ready or a tune-up fight to get prepared for him.
He has said that Vergil Ortiz will finish him.
Bold words from Garcia but you know, he could be right.
That could be the truth of it.
Vergil Ortiz has pulled out very impressive stoppage wins previously against dangerous fighters like Erickson Lubin.
Vergil Ortiz likes to come forward with aggression if you watch some of his fights.
With his chin tucked in and a high guard where he is essentially a pressure fighter whom does his best work on the inside.
He keeps a high guard and throws big hooks and has power in both hands.
An underestimated defense for such an aggressive fighter.
He has the high guard mostly and has a more technically sound style than someone like Marcos Maidana of Argentina.
US fighter Vergil Ortiz like Maidana though likes to get up close and in close quarters to do damage.
This is where Jaron Ennis can be caught and in fact was where he was hurt last weekend as well with Xander Zayas.
When they started trading in the exchanges at the weekend — that is where Xander Zayas had some success.
Vergil Ortiz likes to put his head down and brawl at times but he he keeps the guard up and chin tucked than someone like Marcos Maidana.
Whom he fights like.
He is a bit more clever and less wild than Maidana as well, more patient. He taps to the head and body with light shots sometimes to get his opponent to drop a glove.
So he can land something.
He is lighter on his feet than someone like Maidana as well and a much sharper left hooker.
Almost a little bit of the Miguel Cotto left hook can be seen in Vergil Ortiz, who can double and even treble up with it at times.
And step out of range after throwing it or step off to the side and come back with other attacks or even a jab.
He likes to lean on his opponents and switch up attacks to body and head and this will make Jaron Ennis very uncomfortable as well.
His style could cause a lot of problems for Jaron Ennis who does his better work more at mid range.
He is a technical pressure fighter with great punching power.
Jaron Ennis knows it too.
