Trainer Jeff Mayweather cautions Vergil Ortiz Jr. about considering a match-up against Terence Crawford at this point. Mayweather was present at Vergil’s recent bout with WBC interim junior middleweight champion Serhii Bohachuk and feels that Vergil may have actually lost the fight, despite securing a majority decision victory from the judges. Mayweather’s view is that Crawford surpasses Vergil in skill and talent, and he proposes a redo of the match with Bohachuk to settle any issues stemming from their previous encounter.
Mayweather suggests that the fight against Bohachuk may have taken a toll on Vergil, urging him to steer clear of Crawford for now and concentrate on a potential rematch with Bohachuk instead. Mayweather also comments on Crawford’s recent display in the ring, indicating that Crawford operates at a higher level compared to Vergil. He emphasizes that engaging in a rematch with Bohachuk would offer Vergil a valuable opportunity to enhance his abilities and amass more experience.
