Boxing Challenge: Ortiz returns

   Two Friday main events in the boxing challenge saw interesting bouts with contender Jamaine Ortiz dropping late replacement Cristian Mino four times before the fight was mercifully stopped in round four.

Ortiz vowed before the fight that he was going to scrap the boxing style that allowed him to fight close fights with Vasyl Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez and planned to make more exciting fights.

Ortiz lived up to those statements against Mino but time will tell if Ortiz actually exchanges toe to toe with the best in the division or how effectively he will be in such swaps.

Earlier in the day from Belfast, Northern Ireland, junior welterweight Robbie Davies narrowly defeated Javier Fortuna in a ten-rounder filled with sloppy exchanges and physicality without lots of punches landed.

Fortuna scored the only knockdown with under a minute in the tenth round but Davies would survive until the final bell.

In the ridiculous English system that has only the referee judging the fight in a non-title event, Davies was judged the winner 95-94.

I scored Fortuna the winner 95-94.
