IBF’s average junior weight champion, Bakhram Murtazaliev, could be the only option for Vergil ORTIZ JR. Go to win this type.
Bakhram’s victory in the third round against the former 154 LB champion of WBO Tim Tszyu on October 19 of last year may have frightened Vergil Ortiz Jr. and the other fighters in the division. Terence Crawford first spoke of wanting to become the undisputed champion of Junior Middleweight. However, after Murtazaliev’s Knockout de Tszyu, he became silent and said he only wanted to get the big fights.
The promotions of Golden Boy should give to the green light so that Vergil Jr. would face Bakhram (23-0, 17 KB), and it is doubtful that they do it. Even Ortiz Jr does not mention the desire to fight it. He wants to challenge for a world title but knows his limits.
He barely defeated his last two opponents, Israil Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk. The Vergil Jr, 26, undefeated took a hit in both fights, and his face seemed to have been overturned by a Mac truck. If that’s what Madrimov and Bokhachuk could do to Ortiz Jr, you can only imagine what Bakhram Murtazaliev would do.
Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) said last Saturday evening that he was ready to challenge one of the champions to 154 who were ready to give him the opportunity after his unanimous victory at 12 laps on Israil Madrimov on The Riyadh site, Saudi Arabia.
Vergil Jr. called the 154 LB champion WBA Terence Crawford and WBC and WBO champion Sebastian Fundora immediately after his fight with Madrimov. However, Crawford should already face Canelo Alvarez on September 13, and Fundora is not interested in fighting him.
Earlier in the day, when he was asked who he wanted to fight afterwards afterwards of the March 22 against Chordale Booker, said Fundora, said Fundora, “Errol Spence or Terence Crawford The fights are always open.
For Vergil Ortiz Jr. to have a chance to beat a powerful puncher like Murtazaliev, he will have to adopt the style of Dmitry Bivol by becoming a runner and clinical. If he can move for 12 laps as a bivol fact, he would have a chance, but even then, Murtazaliev strikes so hard that he could do a job on him as he did Tim Tszyu on October 19 of the last year.
