Welterweight prospect Vergil Ortiz Jr. has taken the boxing world by storm, stopping all of his first 15 opponents.

The 22-year-old Dallas-area product, who faces Samuel Vargas on July 24, is already ranked by three of the four major sanctioning bodies and has his eye on the best potential opponents in a stacked division.

Is Ortiz ready to face the likes of Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford? Or should he take his time and gain more seasoning before jumping into such challenging matchups?

In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, courtesy of DAZN, hosts Akin Reyes and Barak Bess address these questions and more.

The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
