What the fighters say
What the trainer says
What the experts say
He walks people down, he hunts them down, and they can't escape. As an attacking aggressive fighter, Ortiz is dangerous.
He is the real deal. He's won 25, knocked 22 of them out, and he is just walking through them all.
He's a far more skilful fighter than people realise and he is well-seasoned at world title level. Nothing fazes him or worries him.

Luis Ortiz: 17st 1lb 5ozs
