Luis Ortiz: The Real King Kong Of Cuba Island-The Heavyweight Mercedes Of Miami, Fl.

Luis Ortiz is a 6'4 36 year old Heavyweight with a 22-0 19 KO's 2 NC's record. Born in Camaguey, Cuba and fighting out of Miami, Florida. Luis Ortiz a southpaw was an amateur star in Cuba with a 343-19 record, he waited a hell of a long time to finally turn pro (like a lot of Cubans) at the ripe old age of 31 but since he has he's made quick work of the majority of his opponents, usually by knocking them the F out, including past prime versions of Monte Barrett and Zack Page, in reality most of his opponents haven't been very good and the one very impressive performance his KO1 of Lateef Kayode was overturned due to a positive test for PED's after the fight, so its hard to assess just how good he really is. He's very skilled from his days in the Cuban amateur system. He takes his time and fights in a very methodical but quick fashion picking his opponents apart and getting the KO, but who truly knows how good he'll perform against a top tier fighter at Heavyweight and clean, let's hope for the best because he's entertaining to watch and has seemingly legit power, he has very fast hands and good combination punching and since he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar wants to make him a big star, possibly on the undercard of GGG-Lemieux, although he has some interesting nicknames that most Americans will find either offensive or strange, he calls himself The Real King Kong and has called himself The Mercedez. So if you like your Heavyweights big, burly, vicious, mean and very badass well..... Check Him Out.
