Nice, sky getting it done
I was hoping they might get bjs vs andy lee as well
I have been youtubing a bit of the press and reading a few artickes as well for this one.
I know boxers like to talk a big game but it appears Jennings legitimately thinks Ortiz has chin issues and doesn't like getting hit! I noticed he came in fairly heavy and im wondering if he thinks he might try to test that chin. Ortiz has reasonble hand and foot speed when he's fresh (hand speed is probably better than Jennings imo) so I think Jennings might not like the outcome if he tries to bang it out in the early going. Jennings is not a great puncher, his best work offensively is just grinding guys down in the clinch a bit like a Bhop or Andre Ward lite.
Imo
Ortiz strengths
Heavy hands
Great at setting traps and counter punching on the outside
Great movement head and foot work (when fresh atleast)
Weakesses
Cardio hasnt been tested, might struggle if the going gets tough
Defense is suspect, likes to fight with his hands by his side quite regularly
Low out put fighter, usually just fights at opponents pace
Jennings
Strengths
Really tight defense
Plenty of heart
Good stamina/ work rate
Has a good sneaky uppercut in the clinch
Weaknesses
Relatively light puncher
Doesn't have a great offensive arsenal
Doesn't throw enough combinations
I like Ortiz's style he is really great to watch.
