Vergil ORTIZ JR. EYES Title shooting after Madrimov Victory

The acting champion of WBC junior intermediate weights, Vergil Ortiz Jr, said that he wanted a title against one of the three champions at 154 which will give him the opportunity after his victory in a 12 -round decision on Israil Madrimov on Saturday Last evening on the Riyadh site.

Potential enemies

– Bakhram Murtazaliev: IBF
– Sebastian Fundora: WBC and WBO
– Terence Crawford: WBA
The easiest of these three is Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KB), but it is also the most dangerous punch. Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KB) should change his approach against him because he could not simply go directly to Murtazaliev as he did against Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 KB). He strikes too hard for Vergil to reproach him, and he will not run like Madrimov.

Ortiz Jr. had enough problems because it was against Madrimov, but it would be worse against Bakhram. Vergil beat Madrimov by the scores of 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.

“If someone wants to give me a chance to fight for a belt, let’s go,” said Vergil Jr Ring Magazine.

“We just fought a good fight against a great opponent. I am very happy with my performance, ”said Vergil Ortiz Jr. The trampling land After his victory over Israil Madrimov last Saturday evening. “What he gave us was what we thought we were going.”

“He has good power, but it’s not scary,” said Ortiz Jr. when asked if Madrimov had good power. “The average machine (Egidijus Kavaliauskas) was a frightening power. I will tell you that I don’t like being hit by him. There was not another fighter that I said to myself: “Let me be careful”. He (Madrimov) was just as, “okay, I can take that.” “Said Ortiz Jr.

Vergil Jr’s face was much more seriously marked against Madrimov than in his fight against Kavaliauskas. So that tells you that his perception of Madrimov’s power was extinct because he caught it with big blows which seemed more powerful than those with which he was struck against the average machine in their fight on August 14, 2021.

Ortiz Jr. must abandon his hopes to fight Terence Crawford because he is not going to help him by offering a title shot. Crawford fights WBA, WBC and the middle weight champion of WBO Canelo Alvarez on September 13. After this fight, he will probably retire unless Turki Alashikh offers him a ton of money to fight someone as the recently crowned light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivo.

“It was really not frustrating because in the end, he will have to fight,” said Vergil Jr. when he was asked if he was frustrated by the Madrimov movement. “I can also fight from the outside. It is not as if I am only a fighter who (advances forward). I can be this fighter if I want to intimidate you if he gives me nothing and that he does nothing.

“I have a good blow, and I can also fight from the outside. Fighting someone who moves a lot is not a problem for me, ”said Ortiz Jr.
