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

[p4pking]

Is this Luis Ortiz actually any good, what's his deal? The guy is 34 and only turned pro a few years ago, was he a decorated amateur? Aside from what a joke the alphabet situation is becoming, Povetkin still has the potential to be in some fun fights, I think he'd be a terrific opponent for hopefuls like Wilder, Jennings, Fury etc.

boxrec says he alledgedly has a record of 343-19 as an amateur but he doesnt seem to have many major medals to show for it :S so who knows.. doesn't look like he has had much competition as a pro either but he is undefeated..
I have never seen this ortiz fellow but I like to watch povetkin and think he is actually pretty good so going on this being in russia and povetkins (in my mind) high calibre I am going for povetkin for the win !



I think i am also the only one to think this but I would like to see wladimir rematch povetkin with a better ref and much less holding, I think it could be pretty close S:
