Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Overcomes Two Knockdowns, Blasts Out Charles Martin in Sixth

[Oracle01]

So sad that these two bums were fighting for a IBF eliminator. Ortiz is shot and Martin is not even world class. HW division is beyond awful.

Seriously, this is what you are willing to settle for? I also have to ask do you really take the Alphabet organizations rankings seriously? With that said lets look back at Martin's career as a Heavyweight Champion. He beat Glaskov for a vacant belt in a fight that should have been ruled a no-contest because of an injury during the fight five years ago. Martin himself has never beat a legit top ten fighter before or since that fight. By the way Glaskov's claim to fame before fighting for that vacant belt was beating two past their prime cruiser champs in Adamek and Cunningham. He also hasn't fought since his leg was destroyed by a freak injury during the Martin fight. Now back to Martin. He wins the vacant belt and then gets blown out in 2 rounds by Joshua. With that said between the Joshua blowout and last night Martin has had six fights consisting of mostly unknown fighters. But, he did manage to squeeze in a unanimous decision loss to a bloated 263 pound Adam Kownacki. Who in my opinion is one of the most overrated fighters in the entire history of heavyweight boxing. I am even somewhat baffled by Boxrec having Martin ranked as high as 17th in the world and this is part of the sad joke the once proud sport of boxing has turned into. Here is also some food for thought. One of the alphabet organizations even had the great Mahmoud Charr as a heavyweight champion for I believe 3-1/2 years and he has never even won a title fight inside of a boxing ring. With all that said even when i don't believe it can get anymore bizarre along comes the Bridgeweight division. Wow, what a monumental moment it will be in the history of boxing when they crown the first champ in yet another ridiculous division.

Point is, he isn’t a top 10 HW regardless of some ludicrous alphabet ranking, and therefore Ortiz still hasn’t beaten a genuine top 10 fighter.

You and me both man. My book was even offering 50% payout during round 5 and I didn't take it out of pure greed lol. I was thinking "I'm just gonna butt clench through round 6 and hopefully Ortiz can survive until 7... then pow.

Yes, that jab was short and laser guided. I think the first knockdown messed up Ortiz equilibrium, it was on the back of his head, after that he didn't seem right. Props to him for keeping going at it.

I didn't think of it, but its possible that first shot made his legs look worse for the fight remiander. The angle of the first shot was devistating, straight down.
