Potential enemies
– Bakhram Murtazaliev: ibf
– Sebastian Fundora: WBC and WBO
– Terence Crawford: WBA
The easiest of these three is Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 kos), but it is also the most dangerous puncher. Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) should change his approach to him because he could not go straight to Murtazaliev as he did against Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 kos). He hits very hard for Vergil to pull him out and he won’t run as Madrimov did.
Ortiz Jr. He had several problems as he was against Madrimov, but it would be worse against Bakhram. Vergil defeated Madrimov with the results of 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.
“If someone is going to give me the opportunity to fight for a zone, let’s go for it,” Vergil Jr said Ring.
“We fought a good fight against a big opponent. I am very happy with my performance,” said Vergil Ortiz Jr. The ground After his victory at Israil Madrimov last Saturday night. “What he gave us. That was what we thought would happen.
“It has good power, but it’s not scary,” Ortiz Jr. said. When asked if Madrimov has good power. “The average machine (egidijus kavaliauskas) was a frightening force. I will tell you that I do not like to hit him. I can get this, “said Ortiz Jr.
Vergil Jr’s face was much worse against Madrimov than he was in his fight against Kavaliauskas. Thus, this tells you that his perception of Madrimov’s power was turned off because he was caught with some big shots that seemed stronger than those hit by the “average machine in their race on August 14, 2021.
Ortiz Jr. He has to give up his hopes of fighting with Terence Crawford because he is not going to help him by offering a title. Crawford is competing for WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middleweight Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. After this race, he will probably retire unless Turki Alalshikh offers him a tone of money to fight someone like the newly established undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
“It wasn’t really disappointing because in the end, he should fight,” said Vergil Jr. When asked if he was frustrated by the Madrimov movement. “I can also fight from the outside. It’s not like I’m just a fighter who (Plods forward). I can be this fighter if I want to intimidate you if he doesn’t give me anything and doesn’t get anything.
“I have a good piercing, and I can fight from the outside. The fight against someone who is moving too much is not a problem for me,” said Ortiz Jr.
