Interesting bout between an experience boxer against to a young guy with a very particular fighting style. David did quite well on the early rounds frustrating Ortiz because he was not able to caught him in spite of exercising full aggression. Anyhow, Ortiz gained confidence in the second half and his experience prevailed connecting good and strong punches that caught the referee attention who decided to stop the fight I guess prematurely. I don’t understand why Ortiz, being No. 1 (???), did a fight at 8 rounds only fighting a guy with very low experience but good enough to reach up to the 7th round.
No 1 in the heavyweight division? Did Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko, and Deontay Wilder all suddenly died at the same time?
DannyBoyJr: Agree with you but Klitschko is history and Fury is a joke. You forgot to include Joshua here. Regards
Hi DannyBoyJr, Both Fury and Klitschko are not ranked as they haven’t fought for more than one year. Wilder is currently the No.3.
This fight could feature on STARS IN THEIR EYES -a total spectacle or a roundhouse pub fighter against a supposed Number One ranked boxer acting out a boxing match. Compare this with Whyte versus Chisora. No contest?
