Ortiz is a cracking fighter but it is evident that he struggles to cut the ring off against opponents that run. Appears to be a mobility problem to me. Real shame because this has held him back without doubt and no-one’s going to willingly get in the ring with the man as he could school most on his day so he’s stuck with poor paydays.
Agree with your analysis. Ortiz KOs Cojanu while Parker goes the distance against same foe. Ortiz can't spark Malik Scott but Chisora does. Takam gives Parker problems and makes AJ look underwhelming while Chisora kayos him. It doesn't prove one fighter is superior to another but it does show you that the matchup of styles is a huge factor. Ortiz ****s out opponents who stand thier ground. Scott was on roller skates against Ortiz and Ortiz showed no ability to deal with the movement. Scott wasn't compelled to fold like he did against Del Boy and Deontay. Cojanu is a big, plodding guy and Ortiz was able to unload his power. Parker is big and athletic but couldn't get Cojanu out because he doesn't throw alot and doesn't seem to have much of a desire to get guys out of there.
He was the same weight for Wilder but he looks more fit!
If this guy keeps fighting every 4 months he will get better and better.
He gave a better angle with his lead shoulder and was looking to put his left behing the right when the bout began. Showed me patience and had a much better bounce in his step than against Wilder.
Wilder and Ortiz is an exciting heavyweight match. Joshua would be also but Hearns doesn't want to jeopardize his main income.
Looks damn good for a 39 year old man who did exactly what needed to be done against that caliber opponent.
If that one two punch combination; The right hook followed by the left cross would have landed on Anthony Joshua then we would have ourselves a new champion. That's why Hearn is protecting his guys from Luis Ortiz. He won't allow anyone in his stable to fight King Kong. I have a proposition for Eddie Hearn. If Wilder turns down that April 13, 2019 date at Wembley then offer it to Luis Ortiz. He would be more than happy to take that fight.

People going on about Ortiz as some uncrowned champion that the Brits are scared of lol
Remember he signed with eddie hearn and looked like dog**** against dave allen and malik Scott!
He stunk the place out, otherwise he would probably have fought AJ or Whyte by now.
It’s his own fault for messing it up!
The British public were SCREAMING! for a Joshua-Takam fight, though. Right?
