34-year-old welterweight (up to 66.7 kg) Egidijus Kavaliauskas (23-2-1, 18 KOs), who in December 2019 gave a good fight to one of the leaders of the pound American Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs), although was scored in the 9th round, and in August 2021 he also held a competitive meeting with top prospect Virgil Ortiz (19-0, 19 KOs) – and was scored in the 8th three-minute period, as no one on the planet can judge strength both and make predictions.
According to the Lithuanian, 24-year-old Ortiz would have managed to win in a duel with 35-year-old Crawford.
“I’m for Ortiz,” Kavaliauskas said.
Fight Hub TV. I think he will come out victorious from this fight. He will beat Crawford. Perhaps ahead of schedule. Aggressive and strong guy. Virgil has more power. He’s more powerful, stronger and more aggressive.”

For a while, Ortiz was on the verge of becoming the mandatory challenger for Terence. In the meantime, the Nebraska native has decided to make a voluntary defense against EBU champion David Avanesyan (and will receive an astronomical fee for fighting the Russian).
