Israil Madrimov revealed that he came out of bad illness and was not 100% during his unanimous defeat against the interim interim weight champion of WBC, Vergil Ortiz Jr., last Saturday evening on The Riyadh site.
Madrimov, 29, says he will be “Strong” in a revenge match. Vergil Jr. will not give him a revenge match because he wants to challenge the WBC champion and 154 LB WBO Sebastian Fundora. Even if Ortiz Jr. does not obtain this fight, he will not take a risk against a healthy Madrimov and will not make the farce beat.
It’s the same with Vergil Jr’s fight with Serhii Bohachuk. He did not give him revenge after winning a controversial majority decision in 12 laps last summer on August 10. Ortiz Jr. takes his “Gagnie” Anyway he can get them. His luck with the judges will eventually run out, but until then, milk, baby.
The disease has an impact
Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 kos) faded after dominating Vergil Jr. during the first five laps and had trouble in the last seven towers. He always seemed to win six laps and deserved a drawBut the judges gave him to Ortiz Jr. more popular with scores of 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111. If a Madrimov Ill could fight Vergil Jr. at a stop, what would a healthy version make him?
An error that Israil made in the fight was to move both in the first six laps. It seemed to have removed a large part of the energy, which played in favor of Ortiz Jr in the second half of the fight. The corner of Madrimov should have asked him to stop moving so early and focus on his power game. “Little GGG” was the largest perforator than Autiz JR, but it wasted a lot of movement in motion.
The punches that Madrimov launched marked Ortiz Jr’s face around the two eyes. You could hear how powerful Madrimov’s punches were when they were landing. The impact sound was much stronger than Vergil.
“In December, I was sick. Two weeks ago, we went to Doctor, Doctor said that I was sick and that I was not ready for the fight. We don’t want to cancel the fight because it was a big card. I wanted to show a big fight. This is my work, ”said Israil Madrimov to Boxing news On the way he was not 100% for his fight against Vergil Ortiz Jr. last Saturday evening.
“Maybe in the revenge match, I will come back stronger. I trained hard [in preparation for Ortiz Jr.]But I didn’t feel well. I didn’t want to cancel the fight. So I risked it. This fight was more experience. What happened, happened. It is more practice for the future. I am waiting for my next fight and I will come back stronger.
“This is my job,” said Madrimov when he was asked if he wanted an easier fight for his next fight because his last two were difficult against Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Terence Crawford. “During my professional beginnings, I fought ten laps.”
