“Little GGG” Madrimov emulates Golovkin against Ortiz Jr.? ncvrs.com

Israil Madrimov is ready to fight WBC Interim Junior Medium Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. on the last Crespendo card on February 22 in Riyadh. Former WBA 154-pound champion Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 Aries) showed his movement and quick combinations in a video clip at the ring.

Madrimov’s embarrassing style and mobility can give Ortiz Jr. (22-0, 21 Aries), but he should be willing to fight to win a decision in this fight. Madrimov did not throw enough in his last round of Terence Crawford and let the 37 -year -old be beat by a nearly 12 lap unanimous decision.

The “small ggg” factor

The advantages of Israil were youth, power, size and mobility over Crawford. But he eventually lost it because he did not throw enough blows in the second half of the race. Terence in the 9-12. He was more busy in the kernels, which was the difference.

Nickname “Little GGG”, Madrimov has to fight rather than he would win against Jr. Ortiz because he will play it and the judges will pass it on to the younger guy based on the activity. Madirmov has been fighting for a long time and should be able to improve his game when he notices the mistakes. He hasn’t made the adjustments last time, but this could be a better style against Vergil Jr. Not as talented or brain as Terence.

If Madrimov is able to imitate Gennadiy Golovkin in this fight, you have the opportunity to knock it out or get Ortiz Jr.’s knockouts. On August 10, he will fight a tiring fight against Serhii Bohachuk and was thrown twice in the race. According to the fans, Vergil Jr. should have lost the fight because he was not. If this fight has taken something out of the Ortis, Madrimov has a single -shot power to put it on board and possibly knock it out.
