Vergil Ortiz jr. Says he talked to Turki Alalshikh about his desire to fight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Bakhram Murtazaliev.
Ortiz jr. (23-0, 21 food) will have to increase his game many levels to have a chance to beat Boots Ennis and IBF Junior Middle Wight champion Murtazaliev. The two are better fighters than the last two opponents of Vergil Jr., Israil Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk.
Madrimov Mess: What happened?
Many fans have Ortiz jr. Lost to Bohachuk in August, and he hit Madrimov in his last fight in February. What many people do not know is that Madrimov was allegedly ill until his fight with Vergil Jr., and he was still close to beating him. He lost a narrow decision of 12 round through the scores 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.
It does not take a genius to determine that Ortiz jr. Against Madrimov, if the former 154 -pound champion of WBA was in Riyadh in February. The point I make is that as Vergil jr. Hardly a sick Madrimov beat and probably beaten by Bohachuk, how can he expect to be competitive with Ennis and Muratazaliev?
Ennis, Murthazalielev: Next for Ortiz?
“I think the boots fight is the battle that needs to happen. The Bakhram battle, I’m not sure when it will happen, but hopefully, pretty soon. These are wonderful fights that the fans want to see, and I too, ‘says Vergil Ortiz Jr. Boxingscene About the will of the Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and IBF 154-Pond Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev. “I said Turki (Alalshikh) I want both of these battles.”
I would have liked to have been a fly against the wall when Ortiz jr. Allegedly talked to Turki about the will of Bakhram and Boots Ennis. It is difficult to believe that Vergil jr. His unbeaten record would jeopardize those fighters after the difficult time he had against a sick Madrimov and Bohachuk. Ortiz jr. Now have a good thing with his unbeaten record. Why would he want to risk two fighters who would surely beat him?
