Oscar de la Hoya promoter wants his fighter, Vergil Ortiz Jr., uses non -stop pressure to beat Israil Madrid this Saturday, February 2nd. De La Hoya believes the best approach to the winning of the former WBA champion of the younger Middle Category Madrid (10-1-1, 7 Kos) “Support it” and attack his body.
This approach acted on a smaller, older and weaker Terence Crawford to beat Madrid’s defeat in Los Angeles last August. Despite the fact that Madrid gave up its size and power, 37-year-old Crawford used pressure to carry it to win close to the unanimous decision on the Turki Alalshikh card at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
Crawford, however, has absorbed a great sentence, and it is unclear if Vergil Jr. Make the same types of shots without being thrown out or dropped two or three times.
Vergil Jr. He was twice in the last fight against a temporary Champion of the WBC of 154 LB Serhii Bohachuk On August 10, he was fortunate to have made a decision on a majority of 12 rounds. He didn’t look like he deserved a victory, but the judges of Nevada still gave him.
“I’m excited about my boyfriend, Vergil and Madra. This will probably steal the show if you love action and love the knockouts, “Oscar de la Hoya said Golden Boy Boxing About Saturday night’s fight between WBC temporary champion, medium weight champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Israil Madrid.
De La Hoya is 100% correct in its prediction that Ortiz Jr.-Madrid will steal the play. This one promises to have the most actions of all the fights on the card on Saturday night DAZN PPV. The main event between the undisputed champion in the heavyweight category Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will be a CAT & Mouse competition with a lot of running and chase. It won’t be as fun as the battle of Ortiz Jr. against Madrid. The Turks were to store the rematch of Beterbiev-Bivol 2 under the deck on the pad somewhere instead of fighting a headliner.
“How do you see Vergil Ortiz? We know that he brings pressure, volume and strength, but Madrid is great, “said Sergio Sea.” How will he land those heavy hands on a guy who is hard to hit like Madras? “
Vergil has only one option in this struggle: he must adhere to his usual style of fighting, applying pressure and hoping that this approach to act against Madrid. Not good enough boxer that he could handle a technical fighter like Madrid and would be stupid to try.
Words from de la hoya
“I look at Madrid and Crawford. Madrid did something that confused Crawford. He was on his feet, moving to the side and giving him corners,” De La Hoya said. “Obviously, Kamp Vergil Ortiz is well aware. They are preparing for Madrid, who will box and move, but will also appear and run into.
“So what does Vergil do? I would push him back if I were in Vergil’s shoes because Madrid couldn’t fight backwards. So, I would push him back and just relentlessly [pressure]. One thing about Madrid is that when he fights, he struggles with his guard. The body is the body, and Vergil is ruthless in the body, “De La Hoya said.
