    Do we have any footage on Angott ?
    Hard to say.... Ortiz was far from invencible, Angott has a good resume... don´t know about this one

    Angott was indeed absolutely awesome; and possibly faced some of the highest levels of competition ever. This is a guy who fought like 5 top 20 lightweights, beat Willie Pep, and fought a prime Sugar Ray Robinson three times. Say what you want about his fighting style, but Angott had balls.

    He also had a suffocating, clinch based pressure style; which sounds pretty similar to a guy who Ortiz struggled with (although probably never lost to) in Loi. I could see Angott having success here against Ortiz, but I'd take the prestige of Ortiz over Angott, and while in theory, the styles are pretty sound; in practice, I've got way more footage to go off with Ortiz.

    Ortiz UD; based on the fact I can see how good he was across many fights.
