    Probably decent odds. Ortiz is a wildcard in the division. We don't know how good he is as he's never really been tested. But Bye Bye is probably too much for him.

    Bad acne and huge weight loss is an unusual heavyweight combo.

    He looked pretty fantastic in this fight imho. Very natural boxer for a big guy.

    I think It'll be an easy UD for Jennings.

    According to the news Manuel Charr will take on Maris Briedis in Chechnya's capital Grozny on august the 22nd.
    Very risky fight for Charr as Briedis is smaller(more a cruiser than a heavy) but fast and blessed with good firepower.Tough fight for Charr.Could go either way IMO.

    He did look very good in this fight, but a KO shoulda been managed.
    Also...He is 6'7, so obviously not a late bloomer.
    Backne is largely attributed to use of testosterone.

    So is shedding fat.

    One can only wonder.

    As for Jennings Ortiz....

    I wouldn't make that fight if I'm advising Jennings. Ortiz has bulldozed smaller HWs using high doses of steroids.
    Jennings don't need the fight, and could fight someone like Oquendo to get a shot vs Chagaev.

    I'm sure Oquendo would be thrilled with the payday fighting on that undercard

    Risky fight for Bryan, Rossy just exposed Muralimov a couple months ago.

    Smart move.

    Make Ortiz prove he's clean by fighting in the UK.

    Weird fight for Charr, very high risk and very low reward. The opponent isn't known or regarded at all
