Oscar De La Hoya on Ortiz vs. Madrimov: "21 Knockouts Speak for Themselves"

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya shared his expectations for the upcoming WBC interim super welterweight title fight between Vergil Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) and former champion Israil Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs).

"22 fights and 21 knockouts speak for themselves. If Madrimov is willing to stand in front of him, not move back, and engage in a fight with Vergil Ortiz, then I think it’s going to be a quick night for Ortiz," said De La Hoya.

The Vergil Ortiz vs. Israil Madrimov fight is scheduled for February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Full fight analysis and stats available via Ready to Fight.
