We can't really say if this is one sided though, Ortiz has been out in the ring for years if I'm not mistaken. So there could be ring rust early and we don't know if he can overcome it. Remember that he also has career life threatening health issues, so mentally he could be affected for all we all.
The name of Davies keeps popping up in the 140 lbs, and I as I have said, we need to see him or at least he US fans if he is really that good or only hype as he mostly fight in British soil. So if he win this impressively, maybe he will be the mandatory for Rolly Romero.
Edit: So much for this, Ortiz beat and ended his 17 month layoff with a 1st round victory over Fredrick Lawson. Davies hype is over as he was knockout as well in the 1st round by Barroso. So it might be a rematch between Barroso and Romero.
Seems like a very early stoppage in my opinion and Fredrick Lawson looks really upset with what has happened but clearly the Referee just wants to protect Fredrick Lawson for sure as Ortiz Jr. is not stopping punching sure he thought that Fredrick Lawson can not fight no more, as the Referee already think that it is the end for him for me judging what I had saw it is an early stoppage for sure,
Shocked at what happened to the Ohara Davies VS Ismael Barroso fight I thought that Davies would win yeah it was the 44 years that won this and in this fight, Ohara Davies looked slower and he looked like he was much older than Barroso in this fight, because on what he looks and how he moves,
As fans we can also push this fight as much as we want, still up to the promoters to sit down and talk and if this fight make sense specially if there is huge money in the table for everyone and they are satisfied, then it can be made.
Nevertheless, as I have said, Neri will get the first dibs, or we might see Casimero going against rank fighters first because he will have his chance against Inoue. So there's still opportunity for us fans to see this fight, if not this year, then we will have to wait.
I really wish we could get what we want, and for sure if the promoters would realize that we want a fight like that to happen all promoters would want is the money they can get because many want that fight to happen as for sure Casimero VS Inoue is a long-awaited fight that many want maybe we can get it this year, (wishful thinking) I maybe wrong but nothing is impossible for sure,
