Ortiz on Madrid’s thinking
“Terrence beat him. I didn’t really competitive. It was a competitive fight, but I didn’t think he won,” said Vergil Ortiz Jr. IFL TV About the fight of Israil Madrid against Terrence Crawford on August 3 last year.
The results of the judges were 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113 for Crawford. It was definitely a close struggle, but it’s not surprising that Vergil Ortiz Jr. He doesn’t want to give Madrid’s loan. The idea is that you never praise someone who you will fight with. Crawford almost lost.
“He comes from a loss. So, he will want to try and prove that he is still in the mix,” Ortiz Jr. said About Madrid. “I want to win as much as he does. I go in to win all the time. We hope you will be united in 12 months,” Vergil Jr. said When asked what he hopes to be achieved in the next year.
Madrid will not try only because he lost his last fight. It’s a stupid observation of Ortiz Jr. He will try to win because he is a competitor, which is his job. He will try to improve the areas that cost him the fight against Crawford, which is to throw more blows.
“That’s a good fight. I think there are grades of weight for a reason. I got Canelo, “Ortiz Jr. said when asked to choose to win the fight on September 13 between Canela Alvarenz and Terrence Crawford.
Crawford is believed to make the ugly movement, sting and holding Canela all night. He will follow Mayweather Playbook trying to frustrate Canelo and will not worry about Boos because he wants to win. The fans are likely to be angry with themselves what they ordered the fight.
This would return to the old days of Mayweather, when the fans caught themselves in the hype and ordered their struggles, not aware that he was a boring fighter, and then he was angry when he was playing 12 rounds.
“Of course, but I don’t know if that struggle will happen. In the past, I heard that it was a fight in Canela, or it will retire. Once he fights against Canel, will he withdraw?” Said Vergil Jr. When asked if he wants to fight Crawford. It will get that canelo money. “I won’t want to fight more.” It’s just my hypothesis, but we’ll see. “
Vergil Jr. is right. Crawford will not want to return to 154 to fight him after getting money from Canel in September. It would be too much of a wage reduction and the fight would be equally strenuous. Ortiz Jr. He throws a lot of blows, forcing Crawford into a difficult battle in which he should be ready to absorb a lot of shots to win.
After Crawford opposes big salaries, what’s left of his ambition will not be enough to want to fight Ortiz Jr. He would like to fight easier in these wages, like the rematch against Errol Spence.
