Comments Thread For: Alexander Ustinov Accepts WBA Showdown With Luis Ortiz

Ustinov is rubbish. Easy W for Ortiz, inside the distance.

I kind of like this fight.

Ortiz fells this tree by the end of round three.

I think it goes late, round seven or eight.

I'm one of the few people it seems who rates Ustinov. I followed him in K-1 where he just seemed impervious to harm despite the fact that huge guys were trying to kick the crap out of him. His limitations in boxing are obvious, but he still brings that incredible toughness and brute strength to the ring along with a fair bit of canniness that he's learned over the years.

Ortiz should beat him, but the manner of that win will say a lot more about his true qualities. Ustinov's the type of guy that can pull an upset if you take him lightly.

Yeah, like that time he quit against Pulev once the going got a little rough?

I can't really watch Ustinov. I remember reading somewhere on the boards sometime that his training consists of drinking Russian vodka and eating dumplings, that had me laughing. What a big pile of a man. He reminds of Valuev.

Im only watching to see if Ortiz can put this big man on his ass. I got Ortiz by UD.

Didn't Pulev drop him with a jab?

He took a dive, the punch didnt even graze him.

Physical toughness rather than mental. He absorbed an absolute shellacking from Pulev for eleven rounds. It was more than just "a little rough". Other than that I don't recall him showing any signs of ever being hurt.

If King Kong can knock him out for real I for one will be majorly impressed. Ortiz should win, but I want to see if he can physically hurt Ustinov in the process.
