Remember Ortiz is a counter puncher, and they do better in rematches.

i don't think he's putting full effort into those punches. his movements look lackadaisical, not as though he's trying in vain. potentially fatigue from a long session? maybe they asked him to do some pad work for the cameras? i wouldn't put too much into this.

with that said, he does look more explosive in this old black and white clip of him training for his cancelled fight against joe louis:
