Dropped twice and I had losing most round and it to Chalres Martin of all people . Goes to show how poor Ortiz record is when it's between Jennings and Martin as his best ever wins.
I'm surprised this fight didn't happen last year. Ortiz didn't fight at all last year and after Ruiz beat Arreola in May there was talk of them fighting and then nothing for the rest of the year, neither fighter did anything. But with Ortiz looking very vulnerable against Martin I guess now is the time to make this fight before someone else beats Ortiz. Ortiz will always be dangerous and if he's to win it has to be in the first half of the fight before he gasses. But I suspect Ruiz survives some rough moments early on and takes over late and stops Ortiz.
I think it would be a really entertaining fight because neither guy moves much, both have solid power, and come to fight. Ortiz hits harder, but Ruiz sets a faster pace. Both can get hurt, but both are tough. Fans win.
