Ortiz vs Jennings eh? Ortiz seems to be the more naturally talented boxer, with a better jab, good hand speed, tricky southpaw style and power to boot. Also has a great amateur background which surely counts for something against Jennings relatively light boxing background.
On the other hand, Jennings seems to have unbelievably long arms for his size (tho it seems their reach is the same) and is probably fitter and went 12 with Kiltschko. And it's not like he doesn't have good punches himself, but I personally rate Ortiz a bit better all round.
If I was judging on boxing acumen alone I would have to say Ortiz...
But then there's the intangibles. Home town advantage to Jennings and also, is Ortiz a different beast without steroids? If it goes to decision I'm sure the fix is in.
This is a tricky one alright, I was gonna type 6th round KO win to Ortiz, but I really have no faith in that. Instead I'm gonna say Jennings by UD.
