    Madrimov's strategy was all over the place. If he kept the style he had in the middle rounds, he certainly would have done better. Ortiz was simply the more composed and better of the two.

    Another thing. Crawford looked shock a couple of times in his fight against Madrimov. Here against Ortiz, not once did Vergil seem to be hurt. Just imagine what Canelo will do to Bud in September.

    Also congrats to Ortiz. Can't wait to see Ortiz smash Fundora next.

    Bring on Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Bakhram Murtazaliez next. That one would seriously be an all out war.

    Contrast this card with others and I'm not naming names (cough top rank and ESPN cough) where you don't get 1 competitive fight out of like 8

    Lot of close rounds, but Ortiz was more consistent and that allowed him to shade some of the closer rounds while taking many more of the clear rounds. Hard fought but well deserved win.

    I like Ortiz in that one. He's got better craft and more battle tested overall.

    Madrimov has to stop messing around with his hands like he's trying to land a plane.
    The judged dislike that type of nonsense.
    Zab started doing that nonsense with Floyd, it's a bad look.

    Tho gotta say Madrimov needs to do some actual offense instead of just dancing around too much. He sure aint no loma.

    Finally can get some shut eye till Parke-Bakole

    He's pretty good but I don't know how much longer he'll last with this style. Every fight is grueling.

    Yes, Madrimov was fighting two men in there.

    Obviously dishonest referee, probably paid off by Golden Boy, as the judges were in Bohachuk-Madrimov and the judge with the wide score today.

    I scored today's fight a draw, but Madrimov might have won if the referee had not been in his face all fight.
