A person who knew the power of impact, both Crawford and Ortiz in the ring, expressed his word about this fight - Egidijus Kavaliauskas (23-2-1, 18 KOs).

"Virgil Ortiz Jr. hits harder than Terence Crawford and I think he will beat Crawford," Kavaliauskas, who defeated Mikal Fox unanimously on points last Saturday, said.

“I think Ortiz Jr will beat Crawford ahead of schedule. Ortiz's strength and aggression make for an extremely dangerous mixture. I felt his blows with my whole body, tried my best, but it was not enough, ”added the Lithuanian.

Kavaliauskas lost to Ortiz Jr. ahead of schedule in August last year, by technical knockout in the eighth round, and in December 2019 he also lost ahead of schedule to Crawford, by technical knockout in the ninth round.
