The plan of La Hoya: Ortiz Jr. needs “relentless” vs. Madrimov

La Hoya’s promoter Oscar wants his fighter, Vergil Ortiz Jr., to use the pressure without stopping to defeat Israil Madrimov this Saturday, February 22. De la Hoya believes that the best approach to beat the ex-champion of WBA Junior Middweight Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 kos) is a “Backup” and attack his body.

This approach worked for the Terence Crawford smaller, larger and weaker to beat Madrimov last August in Los Angeles. Despite renouncing the size and power in Madrimov, the 37-year-old Crawford used the pressure to wear it to win a 12-round unanimous decision on the Alralikh Turki Card at the Los Angeles BMO Stadium.

Crawford absorbed a lot of punishment, but it is not clear if Vergil Jr. You can do the same type of features without being demolished or fallen two or three times.

Vergil Jr. went down twice in his last fight against the temporary champion of 154 pounds of the WBC Serhii Bohachuk On August 10 and he was fortunate enough to receive a 12 round decision. It did not seem to deserve the victory, but the judges of Nevada still gave him.

“I am excited by my boy, Vergil and Madrimov. This will probably steal the show if you like the action and you like the knockouts,” said Oscar de la Hoya to Golden boxing On Saturday night’s struggle between WBC Interim champion, Junior Middleweight, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Israil Madrimov.

De la Hoya is 100% correct in her prediction that Ortiz Jr.-Madrimov will steal the show. This promises to have more actions of all Saturday night card fights Dazn PPV. The main event between the indisputable heavy weight champion, Artur Beeterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, will be a competition of cats and mice with a lot of race and persecution. This will not be as entertaining as the Ortiz Jr. vs. Madrimov. Turki should have kept the beterbiev-Bivol 2 resuscitation below the covers in the game somewhere instead of making this fight against the headline.

“How do you see Vergil Ortiz? We know that it brings pressure, volume and power, but Madrimov is bright, “Sergio Mora said.” How will these heavy hands land a boy who is difficult to hit as Madrimov? “

Vergil has only one option in this struggle: he must follow his usual style of fighting doing forward, applying pressure and hoping that this approach will work against Madrimov. She is not a good enough boxer to overcome a technical fighter like Madrimov, and it would be a nonsense to try it.

Words of the Hoya

“Looking Madrimov and Crawford. Madrimov did something that confused Crawford. He was on the toes, moving sideways and giving -English,” said Hoya. “Obviously, the Vergil Ortiz camp is aware of it. They have been prepared for a Madrimov that is based on the box and will move, but it will also be presented and set out.

“What does Vergil do? I would push him if he were in Vergil’s shoes because Madrimov cannot fight backwards. Therefore, it would push him back and only relentless (pressure). One thing from Madrimov is that when he struggles, he fights with his guard. What happens is the body, and Vergil for the body is relentless, “said Hoya.
