Luis Ortiz won on k.o i the 4.round against Monte Barrett

 

Sullivan Barrera won on points against Larry Pryor. Barrera a light heavy now 11-0, 6 k.o

 

Just saw Ortiz destroy Monte. How far do you think he can go ?

 

all the way:yep

the guy has grit

 

Put food in the corner and Solis would beat anyone..............

 

Man you are so racist it is not even funny. I never seen a racist like you. I bet you live alone don't you. Why all the hate??? Maybe you are old as hell who knows

 

Solis may never get another titlefight ,but other cuban heavies like Perez and Ortiz on their way to big fights.

 

Still not convinced Ortiz is the real deal... Yeah he's got a good amateur background, and solid skills but the fact that a shot to hell Barrett is considered a step up 20 fights in doesn't bode well with me... If he beats a guy like Jennings or Povetkin i'll take him seriously, but if he goes back to fighting more bums and hasbeens then he's pretty much a joke. In any case I think he's a lot more legitimate than Wilder, but despite all the flack I give Deontay for bum crushing his resume looks solid when compared to that of Ortiz. At 35 he really shouldn't be wasting time..... He claims that he wants to be world champ, but he isn't going to do that be beating bums...... Maybe he wants to play it safe until he gets a big mandatory payday? who knows.
