Luis Ortiz vs. Monte Barrett, 10 rounds @ heavyweight

 

In his mid thirties, in fairness.


Barrett has aged better, though. :yep He is over forty, and looks mid thirties.

 

I don't recall Mesi vs. Barrett ever being considered a robbery. :huh

Close, yes...

 

Round 1

Barrett is tossing left jabs up from the hip on the outside. Ortiz is countering with right jabs and hooks stepping inside, carefully examining distance and stepping back out when Barrett starts to bring the right hand over. Barrett is getting caught with left hand leads as he jabs, Ortiz sidling in with his right arm swinging by his side. Barrett is hurt by a left, and cut on the cheek.

10-9 Ortiz

 

Round 2

Barrett is playing patty-cake with Ortiz, reaching out with the light left jab and rolling both shoulders in around his chest as he crouches and reaches across with the right hand, tapping Ortiz's gloves and keeping a feel for his distance. Ortiz jabs his way in and hacks with a cross-body left. Ortiz fishes with the right jab and finds Barrett's chin with the left. Barrett holds and kills time. Barrett mugs by the ropes, inviting Ortiz in and using a quick duck and turn-out move to slip the next attack, giving Ortiz his back.

10-9 Ortiz

20-18 Ortiz

 

Round 3

Barrett is circling away from the right jab and getting caught by the left uppercut as Ortiz presses in. Barrett has swelling near the cut on his right cheek, which is holding up and not yet reopening. Ortiz is keeping Barrett circling and frequently parking himself on the ropes, lunging wildly to escape them.

10-9 Ortiz

30-27 Ortiz
