Zhanibek Alimkhanuly v Danny Dignum 5/21 ESPN

[Spicoli]

Ortiz finally gets off at the two minute mark of 5th and lands well. Herring slowed, very open to those short counter hooks. Ortiz can be effective but man this guy has a ton of bouncy nervous energy going on. Bit of a spaz.

[Spicoli]

And he needs a helmet ffs . He bounds in and they slam heads. At some point this ref needs to warn him. Herring now one and done type shots but Ortiz with the activity.

[Spicoli]

Herring letting these last two slip by. Ortiz literally bouncing like he's on a pogo stick..straight in hands down. Almost an obnoxious style if I'm honest . You're not Maravilla Martinez. Herring has small success spinning him and when close and gets in clean but it's one at a time and little else. Now or never for Herring right now in 9th

[Spicoli]

Ortiz sets up shop last minute of 9th and uncorks nice short shots along with two forearms. Herring needs a KO me thinks

[Spicoli]

Been a very respectable run for Herring always a class act but it may be a wrap career wise. Ortiz walking on more sturdy now really clipping the old warrior clean. Body language at the final bell says it all..

[Spicoli]

Scores in at 96-94..97-93 X2..Ortiz unanimous W

[Spicoli]

Ortiz subdued in interview. Gets biggest win and talks about moving to 140 right away . What is this fascination with young talent moving up immediately now. Too many divisions and too many belts! Jamel classy as always he was choked up a little there.
