You are by far one of the most deluded individuals that I've had the misfortune of crossing paths with in boxing circles. That's saying A LOT
I'm told Ortiz-Jennings is agreed to and being finalized for the Dec. 19 HBO #Boxing After Dark main event. Excellent fight.(Dan Rafael on twitter)
Interesting fight... if it comes off this time. Despite Bryant being relatively inexperienced overall, I'm just not sold on Ortiz at all yet. Favoring Jennings to outwork him and win a decision here.
Good match-up. I think that Ortiz will try to put away jennings early, but that Jennings will take over after 3 rounds. I'm picking Jennings by UD or late KO.
Great! Ortiz's insane hype train finally comes to an end! I'm usually the first to defend a fighter's resume from the people saying "(insert boxer they don't like) has fought only bums, he'll get exposed as soon as he fights someone real!" But Ortiz has by far the highest inverse relation with resume to blogger respect of any HW. Some people are picking him to win this, others say he'd blow past other proven top 10 hw's like Stiverne Fury Wilder. I'm not ruling out the possibility of that happening entirely, upsets happen, but there is absolutely ZERO reason to speculate he could do that at this point. His best win is a completely shot, 42 year old Monte Barrett who hadn't fought in 22 months and hadn't won in 32 months (and hasn't fought since). Ortiz's got good but not great: size, power, skills, and he's 36 years old with a doping history. Seriously, anyone who criticizes the resume of anyone who's been in the top 10 the last few years in HW's and isn't calling out Ortiz for being much worse has a severe case of hypocrisy. His resume is vastly worse than anyone who's been ranked by Ring in their top 10 since Boytsov.
I have the same view. Im not sold on ortiz yet. Its a top fight but if jennings can effectivly take away ortiz left hand then theres nothing. of course jennings has to let his hands go and score for an ud
