Wouldn't have changed anything. Guy fought 10 rounds against Herring. You think Ortiz didn't prepare for a 12 round fight? You've got to be kidding. Ortiz fatigued the same reason why every opponent of Loma fatigues. Loma's activity level is so hight and he connects so cleanly that it takes all the energy out of you. It happens to every single opponent of his. Plus Ortiz is nearly 10 years younger.
You do realize that guys train for a 12 round fight, right? I mean I hope you do considering how long I assume you've been watching boxing. (Actually, many train for 15 to 24 round fights, to push their conditioning so they're not tired.)
Loma put a serious beating on Ortiz. It was a miracle that his left eye didn't close, but his nose was busted up badly. Loma only suffered that abrasion for the cuff of Ortiz's glove. That pretty much says everything. Many shots by Ortiz were blocked that some said landed. MANY. Once again, Compubox is way off. But the point I'm making is that the punishment Loma gave Ortiz and the pace Loma set is what made Ortiz fade down the stretch.
Anyway, if you didn't know, now you know.
