I'm entirely unconvinced by a (probably) 45 year old Ortiz. Not sure Allen has enough to actually cause the upset but Ortiz was so unconvincing in his last fight. What do you, the esteemed member of this fine forum, think about all this?
Ortiz is probably older than he claims to be, but Allen isn't good enough todo anything. Ortiz's last performance wasn't good but he was in no danger of losing to someone who is a level or two above Allen.
Man, saying Ortiz is one or two levels above Allen is pretty generous to Allen. Dillian Whyte shut him out ffs. How is this fight or conversation even happening? This is one of the most disappointing match ups I've seen in ages, I'm sure Hearn is matching Ortiz up to reduce his stock and make him age to the point where there is no point facing him against AJ. I hope Allen is OK after this fight, seems like a good dude with hard times. This does no good for anyone.
I actually said that Malik Scott was a level or two above Allen, although that is still pretty generous to Allen to be honest ... Probably more but Scott didn't really try that hard either.
I predicted Scott would give Ortiz problems but Allen is nothing like Scott, he'll walk right at Ortiz which suits Ortiz's style. I expect a far more impressive win for Ortiz and does what Whyte couldn't do and stops him.
Dave Allen will stand up to everything, he will not be floored. It's up to his corner to call it quits at the correct time.
