    Top fight. Props to both if to happens.

    I'll give the edge to Ortiz on points has he has more experience and is more proven in these type of fights. But, Murtazaliev is very dangerous and rather awkward - he has one of the best left hooks in boxing today.

    I could very much see Murtazaliev knocking out Ortiz. If he tags Ortiz early, it will be a long night for Ortiz.

    50/50 fight for me, but that fight would be a banger.

    If Ortiz beats Bohachuk>Madrimov>Murtazaliev in consecutive fights - each one super high risk/comparatively low reward - then he is a legit badass and should be universally respected by boxing fans for fighting the guys that the 'stars' avoid.

    Yea, I don't get it either.

    Murtazaliev has good handspeed and good footwork. His punches can be a bit wide at times, but they're intentionally looping to get around the guard.

    His most dangerous attributes are his timing, his countering ability and his length.

    He isn't lighting fast but he isn't slow and has long arms. However, he is open to getting countered and we'd surely find out how well he takes Virgil's shots because Virgil is gonna easily land on him. Having said that, Murta is a bigger puncher than both Madrimov and Bohachuk, in my opinion, and Virgil won't be able to take too many shots from Murta before tasting the canvass...

    If the fight ends before the 8th round Murta wins, if it goes beyond the 8th Virgil wins by Decision or late stoppage. Credit to Virgil if this is his next opponent, what other fighter is going after all the killers one right after the other??

    That would be a war!. I'd favour Murtazaliev because I think he has special P4P type power.
