    I think Ortiz will win, because he is going to be more aggressive and he's going to throw more punches.

    Madrimov is a skilled fighter, but he looks good because he gave Crawford a tough fight while Ortiz had a struggle with Bohachuk.

    From a styles standpoint, I think Ortiz will dictate the pace of the fight and force Madrimov to be defensive for most of the fight. I simply think that Ortiz will be more active and outwork Madrimov for most of the rounds. Madrimov will have his moments, but I think Ortiz will win a 8-4 type decision.

    Ortiz will not wait to counter like Bud did. He’s gonna look to get off first and he won’t be biting on the feints.
    If he can get to Madrimovs body consistently he may be able to stop him. But most likely a points win.

    Vergil is vulnerable to getting clipped and touching the canvas if he gets careless and that will likely happen.

    Vergil wins because he usually sets a fast and aggressive pace throughout the fight while Madrimov likes to wait and calculate his shots. Ortiz should outwork him but it won’t be easy, especially late.

    Most 50/50 fight for me. Had Madrimov first on points, but 51-49 now on Ortiz points. Could even be a draw.

    Ortiz by split decision.Pressure is on Madrimov because much is being made about how he ran Terence Crawford close.A loss is still a loss.He hasn’t proven that he’s the real deal yet.Ortiz was excellent in his last fight to win despite the fact that he was decked twice.

    Yes he did, everyone knows Bohachuk won that. Slava Ukraini!

    I agree - I scored it for Bohachuk. Sadly, East European boxers often receive unfair scorecards in the USA.

    This is a genuine 50/50 in my opinion I see Ortiz is a slight favourite with the bookies.
