Charles Conwell Guarantees a Bout with Vergil Ortiz Jr.!. When next answering the call of duty, on August 10, super welterweight contender Charles “Bad News” Conwell (19-0, 14 KO’s) will face Khiary Gray (18-6, 13 KO’s). Yet, while not overlooking Gray, it would be foolish to believe that Conwell does not have bigger fish to fry in mind. One such opponent is fellow Golden Boy Promotions stablemate Vergil Ortiz Jr (21-0, 21 KO’s).

Charles Conwell: “Ortiz Jr Fight Is Definitely Going To Happen!”

WHEN you have won 21 fights in a row by knockout, there is a certain pressure and therefore incentive to keep the run going and avoid finishing a fight any other way. This pressure is something Vergil Ortiz, he of the 21 straight knockouts, will know better than most. His impressive knockout streak, meanwhile, is something he will be keen to extend when fighting Serhii Bohachuk tonight (August 10) in Las Vegas.

Vergil Ortiz edges Serhii Bohachuk by majority decision

Although Vergil Ortiz will have adequately trained for it, and indeed one day expected it, still nothing can fully prepare a puncher for the first time their opponent soaks up everything they throw at them and hardly blinks. It is usually in this moment the puncher confronts self-doubt and wonders if it is even possible to win a fight without having made some sort of impression on or dent in the opponent in front of them. It is during this moment, too, that we sometimes see the puncher succumb to the panic and nervous energy and either punch themselves out in an effort to punch through this anxiety or simply collapse, often dramatically.
