Vergil Ortiz Jr v Mean Machine Kavaliauskas on Dazn

[palmerq]

[
. I love the way these central Americans fight, they're just a bit crazy..

And this is a pretty tactical and calmish fight, I'm thinking the Venezuelan(which is not central America, I know) is ahead so far.

Here come the judges , what do ya think on those cards?

Seemed ok to me, that's a few rounds either way, I wasn't scoring the fight though just watching... Maybe minorly suspicous they all went the same way but I think that might just be looking for problems... No complaint from me and I wanted Nicaraguan skeletor to win!

Cagey start but I think Ortiz looks pretty comfortable here, clearly wary of mean machine and he blocked a lot of punches and landed a good one... Good start for Ortiz even though not much happened.

Ruh Roh Ortiz rocked badly tries to give it back

Ortiz Jr steadying 3rd with the jab. But right off Mean Machine just cleaner and timing the shat on him. Ohhhhh Kava dropped flat on his arse and slides back. Great firefight this one

Oh bloody ell Ortiz was looking good there and then mean machine gets him good and probably should have had a knockdown... Ortiz came back alright though at the end... But bloody ell Ortiz don't get hit like that m8

Wahey fun stuff in the third there, I though once again the first 2.30 Ortiz is doing calm and good stuff then he gets hit a bit and mean machine goes for it but Ortiz puts him down this time... Got to say I think I underestimated mean machine a bit with my first post in this thread, he's certainly a good level of dangerous, ortizs defence is worrying for him though.

Good stuff from Ortiz at the end of the fourth there, despite his struggles I think Ortiz is doing good here, getting some nice jabs in and landing some good punches too.. But jimeny Christmas twice he has put himself in great danger.

Ortiz boxing smart last couple but does think out loud a bit much. Kava sitting down hard waiting for the one but very calculated himself. Don't know what it is Ortiz looks smallish up top frame for the weight. He needs to roll them in down the stretch

[palmerq]

Ortiz is jabbing good I think, he's getting some good power on it too but this Lithuanian git is really dangerous, really good fight for Ortiz to have, I thibk he's winning but he could get wiped out any moment :S

[Spicoli]

Kava is all about this letting him walk on and both with rattling hard jabs. Ortiz needs that different gear..
