How old is Luis Ortiz?

[Ahmed_Ismail]

He's on steroids, not that I care, but his shoulders and traps are a clear indicator. There are a lot of androgen receptors in that area and it's the first place steroid users blow up. that stuff will keep him young for the next four years and give him the time he needs to make a great career.

No, you're just a fücking cracka!

That simply doesn't exist in boxing. So again I ask, what's the real advantage of fudging your age in boxing?

I thought I already said. To give a more direct example I just think logically if you are in some twilight zone universe & you are the guy running things with HBO & you got a choice to add one guy of two, a 28yr old Manny & a 35yr old Manny you are more likely to take the 28yr old version of Manny. And I don't think its outlandish to suggest you might even pay him better for his services then the older version cuz he's likely to be around longer at a high level & benefit your company for longer.

The younger you are, within a certain degree obviously + experience level, the more likely you are to be "the guy" some network, manager, promoter, sponsor or whatever is likely to deal with you over a comparably skilled/talented older guy. There are guys like Foreman that showed with a gimmick even if you are old as dirt you can command great deals & sponsors. I'm sure there are others I could add & make a list of them. George & these other potential older guys are still the exceptions to the rule doe.

The older the average age of any network, promoter or managers boxers under contract I think would be a great indicator of the overall health of your network, promotion or managerial firm. And the older it is with a decently sized pool of athletes, the worst off you are. This is a young mans business (unless you aren't in the ring or getting people ready to rumble or refereeing).

cuban and Caribbean baseball players have been cooking the books on those birth cirtificates for a long time. rigondeaux looks like he's 50, as well.


ortiz will be moved quickly, make big money in championship fights, win or lose, and retire. HW get freaking paid.

Lying about your age isn't uncommon. Cuban and Dominican players have done it in the MLB.

Done it in little league!

Luis Ortiz is actually Diabolito, an infamous Cuban pirate.

So yeah, he's over 200 years old.

Lol good shout. It is what makes him look so imitating.

Ortiz has the definition of a weathered face. I can picture him on a boat in stormy seas with him just staring out at it like its nothing whilst his shipmates are being flung overboard. **** probably shaves with a kitchen knife and bathes in the tears of his vanquished foes.

Ortiz is 36. He may look old, but he fights young.

He's at least 10 years older than that.

Cubans are notorious for lying about theirs ages.

Just look at him.

[BigZ44]

He looks really old and he's from Cuba, so I'm gonna guess he ain't 37. Hell, he was probably Castro's personal bodyguard in the 60s!

[BostonGuy]

Even if Ortiz is "old" he doesn't have a lot of wear 'n tear on the tires. In fact, he's relatively fresh for a HW. He hasn't been through too many grueling training camps and he's taken little to none punishment in the professional ranks.

i would guess his real age is around mid 40's. probably took 10 years off his real age when he arrived in the U.S with some BS papers.
