Notes: Ortiz’s win on Friday over Samuel Vargas didn’t really tell us anything new, but it did once again showcase his all-around skill, his power, and how much fun he can be to watch without being a reckless action guy. It’s time for him to step up a bit — in fact, it already was, but Golden Boy doesn’t have any marquee welterweights, and there aren’t many that are “borrowable.” But Ortiz has said he’s willing to fight Crawford or Thurman or Danny Garcia. He’s throwing it out.
Upcoming Fights: (8) Sergey Lipinets vs Kudratillo Abdukakhorov, Oct. 10 ... (7) Yordenis Ugas vs Abel Ramos, TBA

Notes: Valdez had his moments of flaws, but last Tuesday’s win over Jayson Velez was solid for a rust-shaker, and he became the first to ever stop the rugged Puerto Rican veteran. Valdez is now expected to face Miguel Berchelt at some point, a much taller task.
Upcoming Fights: (5) Oscar Valdez vs Jayson Velez, July 21 ... (2) Leo Santa Cruz vs Gervonta Davis, Oct. 24 ... (8) Carl Frampton vs Vahram Vardanyan, Aug. 15
