Comments Thread For: Jamaine Ortiz Getting Impatient, Struggling To Secure Name Opponents

Here's how you do it Jamaine , pick a guy that you want to fight. Show up at a televised fight that he's going to be at, get your friends ready to record it , walk up to the guy , and slap him in the face. After that , he'll want to fight you. If that doesn't work, then you're out of luck.

Lmao
That would be more like a riot than a fight considering these guys all have huge entourages
Hey , if it works then more boxers can do it but I highly doubt it

If he's a free agent like the article says he is, then go for Frank Martin.

Why can't he get any more fights from Showtime/PBC? TR/ESPN gave him Herring, then Arum's priced fighter Loma after winning a fight on Showtime. He could at least get a stay busy fight like the guy Martin beat, that is if PBC wants none of that smoke for their protected fighters.

Yeah, it's sad. Fighters who genuinely want to be active are ignored in this sport.

And fighters who are offered fights turn down offers and would just rather sit around and wait. It's a crazy sport.

Putting up a great performance against Lomachenko, despite losing, might have worked to his detriment. Now the upper-echilon dudes probably see him as a high-risk low-reward type of guy, probably why he's having a tough time getting the type of fights he wants. He's a very good young fighter, and definitely has the skills to compete at the top. Hope to see him in some big fights in the future.

Lightweight contender Jamaine Ortiz (16-1), ranked seventh in the world among 135-pounders by the WBC, has patiently waited for the much-anticipated payoff all prizefighters dream of since launching his professional career in 2017.

Shakur would fight him. Tank stays away from boxers like him and Shakur

[Malvado]

Well, he is high risk low reward. The guy gave Lomachenko problems both in terms of size and skill.

So far Top rank has Keyshawn Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Raymond Muratalla, George Kambosos and Shuichiro Yoshino I think. Nakatani used to be a good name in the rooster but he has been defeated left and right.

That's at least if Devin Haney doesn't move up. He could probably replace Loma if there is an injury or something.

A fight against Shakur was natural. SS could have supported, the widely circulated belief, that he is the preeminent boxer around, by showing the world what Loma "should have done" to Ortiz. Maybe they'll hook up later or maybe Keyshawn Davis could step to the plate.

Ortiz has wanted that Shakur fight longer than anything. He's repeatedly said that he believes he can beat him. And as people have mentioned, he's viewed as a high risk, low reward fighter.

Sometimes this business is messed up. You see the boxers that are made out to be the best, but there are boxers in gyms everywhere who are better than them. They just don't get recognition because, for one reason or another, they are not viewed as marketable and possible rainmakers. These are the guys that promotors, agents and boxers avoid because that God forbid that they risk losing that 0.

This risk aversion in boxing is killing it.

And how is Ortiz a free agent now? I didn't read that, but I think the people saying that might be right because he had said he had a three fight deal. So Joseph Adorno, Jamall Herring and then Lomachenko. I guess that did it. Why not resign him? I'm assuming that Top Rank believed he'd beat all the fighters they are trying to promote. lol
