It’s all over but the scorecard announcement here.In the main event, Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) had all of the big moments while grinding out a decision over Ortiz (33-3), a two-time world title challenger. Some desperation upper cuts in search of a knockout landed, but there is no doubt about the winner. Ortiz needs a KO in the next three minutes or Ruiz will fight for the WBC title. The hand speed of the Mexican-American is elite at the heavyweight level, and a pure straight right has closed the eye of Ortiz in that round. The southpaw is seeming to find his rhythm despite being on the canvas three times already. The best round of the fight so far for Ortiz, who landed several clean jabs and also followed with lefts to the body. While Ruiz might have landed the best shot to the body, more offense and going forward from Ortiz. He’s certainly shown he can do it with his speed and range, but needs to find the final shot. But Ruiz has enough of a lead now where Ortiz will likely need a KO to win. Not nearly as much action here, but a very close round that could have gone either way. But it came with under 20 seconds left in the round, and Ruiz didn’t have time to try and put Ortiz away. Round 7: 10-8 RuizĪnother knock down for Ruiz! He followed up a right hook with another right hook to the side of the head to put his opponent down for the third time. That’s not to say there’s been a lot of action, as the two Golaiths mostly are staring at each other. Round 6: 10-9 OrtizĪnother winning round for Ortiz, who since he’s been knocked down has shown superior ring generalship and is the more aggressive fighter. Not a ton of action in this fight, but it feels like a huge KO could come at any time. Round 5: 10-9 Ortizīetter from Ortiz, who was able to land jabs with his right hand in his southpaw stance, but also follow with some lefts that scored as well. Though Ortiz landed some quality shots as well, he was unable to turn them into combinations. A flurry that came in after a jab stunned Ortiz made the difference. Somehow the man with the shorter reach is still able to land his jab more consistently. Less action here, but a round where Ruiz still seemed to have the best of it in ring generalship. Tons of thunder from both so far, but Ortiz needs to win some rounds or stop this thing in a hurry. Ortiz survives, but was put on the canvas twice! He looked a bit shaky after a huge right hand to the head, and a smaller almost half-slip was called another knockdown shortly thereafter. Feels like a lot of feeling out in the opener.
