Vergil Ortiz Jr. Eyes Title Shot after Madrimov’s victory

WBC Interim Champion, Junior Middleweight, Vergil Ortiz JR says he wants a title shot against any of the three champions at 154, which will give him the opportunity after his 12 -round unanimous victory over Israil Madrimov last Saturday night in the Riyadh enclosure.

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 punch. Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) should change his approach against him because he could not go directly to Murtazaliev as he did against Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 kos). It is too strong that Vergil stepped down and will not run as Madrimov did.

Ortiz Jr. He had enough problems as he was against Madrimov, but he would be worse against Bakhram. Vergil defeated Madrimov for the scores of 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.

“If someone will give me the opportunity to fight for a belt, let’s look for it,” said Vergil Jr Ring Magazine.

“We have just fought a good fight against a great opponent. I’m really happy with my performance,” said Vergil Ortiz Jr. The ground of hand After his victory over Israil Madrimov last Saturday night. “What he gave us, this is what we thought would happen.

“It has a good power, but it is not afraid,” said Ortiz Jr. When asked if Madrimov has a good power. “Average machine (Egidijus kavaliauskas) was a frightening power. I will tell you that I do not like it to be affected. There has not been another fighter who is like” let me watch “. He (Madrimov) was like:” D ‘Agreement, I can take this, “said Ortiz Jr.

Vergil JR’s face was much better marked against Madrimov than in his fight against Kavaliauskas. So this tells you that his perception of Madrimov’s power was turned off because he caught him with some large features that seemed more powerful than those who were affected against the middle machine in his fight on August 14, 2021.

Ortiz Jr. He must give up his hope of fighting Terence Crawford because he will not help him by offering a title shot. Crawford fights WBA, WBC and Wbo Super Super Middleweight Champion, Canelo Alvarez, on September 13. After this struggle, he will probably retire unless Turki Alralikh offers a lot of money to fight someone like the recent heavy weight champion Dmitry Bivol.

“It was not really frustrating because, finally, he will have to fight,” said Vergil Jr. When asked if he was frustrated by the Madrimov movement. “I can also fight from the outside. It is not like only a fighter who (move on). I can be that fighter if I want to intimidate -you do not give me anything and it does not give up.

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