Israil Madrid looks ready for his upcoming fight against the temporary junior champion WBC Vergil Ortiz Jr. on the last crescendo card 22. February in Riyadh. Former WBA champion of 154 LB Madrid (10-1-1, 7 ko) showed his movement and fast combinations in the video clip.
Madrid’s clumsy style and mobility could give Ortiz Jr. (22-0, 21 ko), but they will have to be more willing to quarrel to win the decision in this fight. Madromov did not throw enough in the later rounds in his last fight against Terrence Crawford, and let the 37-year-old beat him a closely unanimous decision in 12 rounds.
“Little GGG” factor
Israil had the benefits of young, power, size and mobility over Crawford. But in the end he lost because he did not throw enough blows in the second half of the competition. Terence was busy in round from 9 to 12, which was a difference.
Nickname ‘Little GGG’, Madrid has to fight more like him to win against Ortiz Jr. because he will surpass him, and the judges will give him a younger guy based on the activity. Madirmov is fighting for a long time and should be able to improve his game when he notices flaws. He did not adapt to the last time, but this could be a better style against Vergil Jr. It’s not as talented or smart as a tune.
If Madrid can imitate Gennadiya Golovkin in this struggle, he has the opportunity to knock out or achieve the impact of Ortiz Jr. -And, on August, he goes into a hard fight against Serhii Bohachuk, and twice was discarded in that competition. Fans think that Vergil Jr. should have lost the fight because he was surpassed. If that struggle has pulled something out of Ortiz, Madrid has the power of a single recording to put it on the deck and maybe throw it out.
