[Larry the boss]

Has Kayode done anything since he drew with Tarver in 2012? How is he WBA #5??

yep since then he beat a guy who was 9-7-1...and another guy who was 21-33-1

Who cares if this fight is for a meaningless bull**** interim belt? This is a decent fight between two undefeated heavyweight contenders. Forget that a title is on the line and just enjoy the fight.

The "face of Boxing" is defending his light middleweight title against a welterweight in September. That's all you need to know.

Yes, it will likely be an entertaining fight. Both are strong punchers who go for the KO.

Solid matchup at this level! Two undefeated physically strong heavyweights who wont back down.

"Interim WBA title"??? Didn't Ruslan Chagaev just face Fres Quendo for the WBA 'regular' title? Why in **** would there be an interim title?

As to the fight itself, I guess it's a decent matchup even though I haven't seen much of Kayode and have only seen Ortiz a handful of times. Ortiz has been on the hw scene for a number of years but he's largely flown under the radar. He recently KO'd Monte Barrett in what was an impressive performance albeit against a shot fighter
