Is Israil Madrimov a leper in boxing? His future seems gloomy

Israil Madrimov can find it difficult to return from its last defeat against the Junior interim champion of medium weight of the Vergil Ortiz Jr. CMB on Saturday night.

The former 154-pound champion of Amb Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 kos) suffered his second consecutive defeat, losing a unanimous decision of 12 rounds before the undefeated Vergil Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) in the place From Riadh, Saudi Arabia. Ortiz Jr. won by scores 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111. It is a fight that Madrimov could have won if he had struggled intelligently and would have entered the healthy game. He still exposed to Vergil Jr. as a defective fighter who will not go further before being beaten.

Strategic errors

Whatever the opportunity, Madrimov, 29, was winning, threw it out the window when entering less than 100%, leaving a disease that he says he left him weakened. In retrospect, Madrimov should have canceled the fight, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

He did the most difficult things for himself moving non -stop in the first six rounds, which made gas after the midpoint. Madrimov seemed to be up 5-1 after six, but the judges assigned to the fight did not give him credit to dominate the easy to hit Ortiz Jr. from the beginning.

This defeat will make it difficult for Madrimov to get important fights unless Turki Alalshikh can help. It is too good to be used as an opponent on side B by other promoters who are trying to develop their combatants. Almost beat Terence Crawford and Vergil Jr. that basically makes Madrimov a leper be avoided.

“Where is Madrimov going? Now he has lost two fights in a row, “Simon Jordan said Talksport boxing On the former Amb Junior Medium Weight Champion, Israil Madrimov, after his defeat last Saturday night against Vergil Ortiz Jr. in Riad.

Without Turki, Madrimov will need to advance in contender’s ranks, probably ignored by any of the 10 best types and forced to fight the background feeders. Fighting that type of boys will make it extremely difficult for Madrimov to be pushed by the classification quickly unless its promoter, Eddie listens, n can press it as with the other fighters they like.

“It’s hard because it’s a hard guy to overcome, and that is the problem,” said Spencer Oliver about Madrimov. “When you look at the perspectives that arrive, children (or their promoters) are going to go, really? I don’t want any of that. It is a hard guy to specify.

“It has that European style where it continues to hit, and the miles that it must have done in that ring, by the way, was crazy. He was non -stop all the time. Tactically, I had the place on, but it was going to be a difficult path for him.

“Nobody will want to approach him because it is the type of style that makes everyone look bad, and you don’t want to go there unless you have to go there. Credit to Ortiz Jr. for taking the fight because it was always going to be difficult, and I thought he stood out, ”said Oliver.
