Alexander Povetkin vs. Luis Ortiz purse bid for WBA "regular" Title has been ordered

Ok ;D so we saw Ortiz brutalize a shop worn but willing Monte Barrett.

I'll tell ya..I like the guy. He's big and ugly and def under the radar but he's actually pretty fast and looks to have good hands off a southpaw stance. Dude has moxie. Barrett was just a canvas but that left hand was whipping and brutal. He sure as shit shouldn't be world ranked..but he'll be very live with Povetkin, I think.

Ortiz is built like myself, The Hulk.


He's a scary dude with some skills, I think he'd fuck up Monsour or Cunningham the other night.

Is this fight still on?

Povetkin-Ortiz seems to be off.

According to SI's Chris Mannix...Main Events is trying to make a Povetkin-Cunningham fight.

Промоутеры Каннингема хотят организовать ему бой с Поветкиным


Solid fight...I think Povetkin stops Cunningham in the mid to late rounds.

I guess Ortiz looked too dangerous for Povetkin
