Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
Get that totally, but outside of Wlad, I think Ortiz would have simply made easier work of anyone else Jennings fought, and you could make the same point if he had. I might be alone in thinking that how bad Jennings looked against Perez in the early rounds is the most relevant precedent for how this one will go, I don't think Jennings will be able to handle the power coming from a lefty who can deliver and will actually let his hands go. For me, Jennings was one of Wlads worse performances in recent years, another guy he should impressed against but didn't. Great match up though, it's an exciting HW fight for a change, let's wait and see.

his win against szpilka was pretty impressive and his best performance too(in my opinion), I think Szpilka is a pretty good conteder and could give a lot of guys a really good fight and beat a lot of them too.
It's going to be interesting and a fight I am looking forward to, can't wait to see it !

I think Szpilka is just decent and Ortiz would/would have easily pummeled him in a couple of rounds, which was part of my point. I agree this is a great fight though!

Maybe, I think it's certainly a big step up for ortiz, I like jennings but I sort of hope ortiz wins this one well so we have a new guy in the title picture.
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
El Bump! Under the radar card here, respectable big division match and still riding with Jennings. Ortiz is a legit deceptive monster who I like but nice to see Jennings connect in between the lumber and get it! Who cares, good fight!
Walters fight reads like a lopsided showcase style-size wise and they have return of Gamboa too!
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
I am looking forward to this, I quite like jennings and I think he is a talented guy, Ortiz has looked impressive in his last few outings despite his failed drug test(but really who isn't at it :S), so I think this is going to be a very interesting fight but not super fun to watch. I am going for Jennings to win a very close decision, with ortiz coming close to knocking him out in the later rounds.
star wars battlefront is great fun btw
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
Gonzalez v Shabranskyy might be the sleeper war this undercard. Very solid
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
Ortiz looks dangerous for anyone but is he another lazy Cuban heavyweight?
I didnt realise he was so old either. Hes 36. I think he may struggle if Jennings makes him work.
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
Be interesting if Ortiz destroys Jennings, as it will say a bit about where Wlad was in his last couple of fights.

Your desperately hoping eh;D
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
Hoping for what? Jennings gave Wlad half an argument and recieved well deserved credit for it. We will gauge something from this fight by what happens. That's simply how we gather knowledge.
Re: Luis Ortiz vs. Bryant Jennings HBO December 19
