Comments Thread For: Jennings Praises Ortiz: He Really Showed Me Something

[BattleAxePurist]

I highly doubt that. He wasn't as skilled at range as Ortiz and had his best success when he was up close.

Yeah Jennings isn't going to outbox Ortiz , his best chance was a fast-pace and make his conditioning a bigger factor than Ortiz's skills which didn't happen.

Jennings is hilarious sometimes. "I considered myself the #1 contender in the world". Seriously this guy. Ever since losing a brave effort to Klitschko he's been parading as if he won the damn fight.

Pretty much unanimous with boxing scribes and boxing fans in general... Jennings gave Wlad his biggest test in many years. So yeah, it was quite an accomplishment whether you agree or not.

I, for one, appreciated Jennings' sincerity in the post fight interview.

Same here. Unlike some 'fans' who diss the guy for losing after putting up quite a game effort. I guess those 'fans' only think fighters are legit if they always win. No losses allowed eh? SMH

It Is strange to see people taking jabs at Jennings. He fought a hell of a fight, showed a good chin, proved that he was a true sportsman, showed class In defeat and was HONEST In the post fight Interview. What more could be asked of any fighter.

Yep

Really? At which point did he wobble Wlad or take it to him? At which point did he win 2 rounds successively?

That performance is severely overrated, he won 2-3 rounds and had a couple of close ones.

He did not give Wlad more to work with than Pulev did in 5 rounds, just as an example.

Just a decent performance simply because everyone thought he'd get blasted. Nothing more, nothing less.

And certainly is he in no world the #1 contender.

So now ortiz has a better win than Wilder. I think we can agree that Jennings is better than Stiverne.
