Fighter History

Vergil Ortiz Jr. is a native Texan with devastating knockout power amongst the welterweight circuit. Standing at 5-foot-10 with a reach of 70 inches, Ortiz will be the longer fighter against Stanionis. Ortiz is 25 years old and has held the WBO International welterweight title since 2021. As noted, Ortiz carries an astonishing professional 100% KO rate dating back to 2016.

Last August, he strapped up with then-undefeated Michael McKinson before handing him his first loss (via TKO). Ortiz is a menace in the ring, especially when fighting in his native state. Saturday's upcoming bout will be Ortiz' fourth consecutive fight in Texas.

Eimantas Stanionis will be a true underdog this weekend. He is smaller (5-foot-8/68-inch reach) than Ortiz, less powerful and has fought less recently. Born in Lithuania, Stanionis is almost 29 years old. He has had success internationally at the amateur level and still maintains an undefeated professional record despite taking a "No Contest" in August 2021 after an inadvertent headbutt gashed Luis Collazo.

Stanionis was last in action 15 months ago in April of 2022. That night, Stanionis (also fighting in Texas) edged out Radzhab Butaev for a split-decision victory. That earned him the WBA 'regular' welterweight title that will be up for grabs this Saturday against Ortiz. Stanionis will need to showcase active ring maneuverability in the squared circle versus the longer, heavy-handed Ortiz.
