Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs Dmitrii Yurievich Bivol II & Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov RBR.

If ever a fight deserved to be a draw, it´s this one.

 

Madrimov is the ultimate spoiler because he’s actually skilled and will trade a bit if forced to

 

I thought all the people calling for the fight of night were delusional. Madrimov is not going to be in a firefight.

 

Got it 5-4 Ortiz but missed 3 rounds

Both men showed me a lot

Madrimov proved tougher than I thought

Ortiz was getting out boxed but stayed composed and stuck to his game and showed plenty of defensive wrinkles and footwork

 

7-5 Ortiz

Referee was awful. Madrimov should have had at least 2 points taken. Madrimov is a difficult guy to look good against. Ortiz showed good composure I think.

 

Ortiz beat Madrimov more convincing than Crawford did for me.

 

loving the karate kid soundtrack

 

It's hard one because Vergil looked significantly more dominant in his rounds but he took a lot of rounds off.

 

Madrimov

But I'm disappointed in him

His patterns and rhythm became so predictable that even a basic 1-2 slugger like Ortiz could take it to him.

This devalues Crawford's win. You could see it in his face.

The Canelo fight has lost its lustre for me now.

 

Very close. Flick a coin.

7-5 Ortiz, with a few close rounds. I wouldn't mind a draw either. Second half of fight way more entertaining than first.

 

Draw

 

Either a draw or close win for Ortiz

 

I think madrimov nicked it with one round. Closed the last two rounds better
