    I’ve seen this talked about in other communities I’ve in. It’s my brother’s favorite fight on the card, too

    Very much interested, the thing is the whole card is just so packed... and then 2 late replacement opponent so a lot to talk about...
    I think this is the fight people will talk a lot about, but after the fight!

    The only winner I can pick on this one is us the fans! (give a slight edge to Madrimov, I think he will effectively counter the forward coming Ortiz).

    I don't know why people don't talk about this fight more, It's second most interesting fight for me.

    I think Madrimov is underrated and will school Ortiz.

    It's a great fight, for me the best after the main event. Ortiz is coming off a match where he suffered a lot and won only for MD in a very close fight, while Madrimov, despite losing, made a good impression with a great champion like Crawford. I think that for the careers of the two boxers, Saturday will be a very important night, especially for Ortiz.

    Love Madreamov but streets are saying since the Crawford fight he's still feinting

    I still got him beating Ortiz tho

    Yesh there should be more hype for it. And it should be higher on the card. It's the most guaranteed exciting fight on the card.

    It's the second most exciting fight on the card after Bivol Vs Biev.

    Hell yes I'm interested. My two guys and I will be watching this one for sure. And i don't know who will win. I hope Ortiz brings out a more aggressive Madrimov than Crawford faced.

    I'd have to agree, it's sorta slipping under the radar. I'll take Ortiz , his boxing is more polished and I doubt Ortiz will take him lightly. Has potential to be a good scrap if Madrimov can get to him.

    I posted on another thread, this is the fight I want to see most. I feel if Madrimov wins, the Crawford win looks better and places Madrimov among the top operators in the division without question.
    If Ortiz wins, then I think he can be looked at as a near future opponent for Crawford. Also, depending on how Ortiz wins will determine how the Crawford win ages as well. If Ortiz makes easy work of Madrimov, then the Crawford win loses some of its luster. But if it's a back and forth battle, then it shows Madrimov is the goods and is a tough night for anyone in the division. Proper credit should be given to both Ortiz and Crawford. Plus, I think it's going to be a very good fight.

    American fans are understandably feeling nervous about this one. That's why they're reluctant to talk it up.

    The truth is they're not sure how their guy will go fighting without the protection of a US commission.

    Ortiz is good & they really should have a bit more faith in their guy.

    The failure of other Americans on these Saudi shows is perhaps a bit too fresh in their memories.

    Madrimov will beat him.

    Bohachuk was a static target who stood right in front of Ortiz and Ortiz couldn’t drop him. Ortiz himself got knocked down twice because he leaves himself open. Madrimov had a close fight with a consensus top 3 P4P fighter, there’s no comparison between their last opponent.

    Madrimov has good feints and movement. I think he’s going to counter Ortiz and start strafing him with right hands during the middle rounds. Ortiz is the better athlete but Madrimov is the better boxer imo.
