Ortiz amazing win, Rigandeaux lose.
Tonight in Frisco, Texas, at the home of this new contender-champion of only 23 years old, we saw a great match.
Kavaliauskas, has shown that he is a great boxer and that he can really create problems for everyone; they start plan study phases, active study, we define it, shots not many but to go to understand what can happen and how you can penetrate in the defense of others. Starts the second round and here we have a great twist, Kavaliauskas, after having suffered a series, remette, Ortiz is almost incredulous, for the speed in which he suffered and finds himself down on the ground, it would be a kd, but the referee, does not count it, but from a later video you can see the kd, that Virgil suffers, incredible because the shot, ends, with Virgil attacking by bringing shots to his opponent including one to the body devastating.
From the third round, something clicks in Virgil’s head. The defense becomes more vigilant, the work with the left is more and more incessant, left that in some cases is followed by the right, Kavaliauskas does not take a step back, indeed he is always ready to throw, and as soon as Ortiz breathes, he is ready to work with his left, and take the initiative; The machine, unbelievably crosses with his right hand the left of Ortiz who finds himself back on the ropes to suffer, but moves and puts a series of one, one, two, one that ends his opponent to the mat, a few seconds from the end, a reversal of the front so sudden to leave everyone stunned, that is a passive phase, begins an active defense and his opponent is down. What a shot, unbelievable.
The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds are a continuation of fast and precise exchanges, Ortiz works with his jab that is devastating and does damage, and Kavaliauskas remits promptly, attacks, but it is visible that the difference in power begins to make a big furrow in his defense, not only mentally but physically. At the eighth round there are four kd, against Kaliauskas, and the referee stops everything, a few seconds from the end; unexceptionable victory of the young Ortiz who enters by force among the top 5 of the category and in all the acronyms, without discussion.
An eighth round where we saw the power, the speed, the dedication, the work, the technique, and the fact that if you have those hands at any time you can close the match, it was impressive to hear the noise of the blows that broke on the body of his opponent.
There are few words to say: Virgil has the numbers, to make history, he has the age to make history, he has the desire to make history, and has margins of defense that can improve, it is clear that tonight he won against a top fighter, and this gives him the right, to climb to jump from higher trampolines.
What a spectacle, we were impressed by how Kavaliauskas crossed several times, the left of Virgil, how he put back the blows, how at short distance he created problems, and Ortiz overcame all this with an incredible determination, marked by the power of his opponent, but what a great match, that’s why we would like to have a private plane, and fly; we knew it would be a match, with this intensity, and we discover, moreover, that the jaw of Ortiz is granitic.
Rigandeaux lost from Casimero, very tactical match, the Cuban danced without ever giving target and few were the exchanges, the idea that gave is that he did not want to fight, he lost by split decision, and the match was ugly, in our opinion had not lost, because Casimero was never able to close exchange impesierirlo, but this time Rigandeaux seemed to us intent, not to take any blow, and this has penalized him a lot, the public in some stages howled. Too bad for our Cuban friend, but that’s how it went.
