Ortiz is at least 50 years ago. At some point age is going to catch up with him.
I agree, think ortiz struggles against geniune contenders at this point. Charles Martin doesn't fall under that bracket tho.
Surprise surprise , Haymon is making his heavyweight crew fighting each other.
Let`s hope we will also get Wilder -Ruiz.
Ortiz is more skilled, but Martin thows much more punches. Should be fun.
Ortiz is a level above Martin skill-wise but a 42-year old man coming from a 14-month layoff doesn't sound so good. Let's hope Ortiz is motivated for this fight and comes in good shape.
- -Ortiz never took much punishment vs Deyonce other than the KOs. Martin may have spaketh as a god, but would've lasted 1/4th as long and never would've had Deyonce in trouble.

The IBF didn’t order this fight it wouldn’t work like that . Both can avoid Hrgovic but he’s ranked 3 and Ortiz is 10 so that’s not going to be a mandatory because it’s the first two highest ranked guys available that fight for an elimination bout which is Martin and Hrgovic .
The next available guy is now Joyce or Kabayel if Martin decides not to pursue a title shot .
Yeah fair enough, i know Hrgovic is targeting it. The winner should have to fight him.
