ORLANDO, Fla. - Februar 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ortiz used his superior hand and foot speed to dance and dish out punishment against gameNahir Albright to win the vacant NABF title in the main event ofShoBox: Die neue Generation as part of an action-packed doubleheader onSHOW TIME Freitagabend im Caribe Royale Resort.

Ortiz (15-0-1, 8 KOs) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 und 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. KlickenHIER to watch video of the decision.

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 KOs) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 Runde, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. Von diesem Punkt an, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,“Ortiz sagte. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, von Worcester, Mass., gelandet 48% (103 von 216) seiner Macht Schläge, verglichen mit 41% for Albright (88 von 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 bis 4 to the body, showcasing that aspect of his game in the fifth round when he found a home for several thudding body shots. Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,“Ortiz sagte. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. Danach, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

“He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.”

In der Sendung Opener, Paul Kroll undMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. KlickenHIER to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 bis 71 and out-landing him 109 bis 84 in Gesamtschlägen.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 KOs) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

“I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 U.S.. Olympischen Boxen Trials, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”

Unbeaten Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz A visionary in trunks and gloves People’s champ of Worcester

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

WORCESTER, Masse. (Juni 10, 2021) – Unbeaten lightweight prospect Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KOs) is a visionary, clearly seeing the day he becomes the first Worcester (MA) native to become a World boxing champion, as well as headlining a show at home in front of thousands of his growing legend of fans, und vieles mehr.
The 25-year-old Ortiz, former World Boxing Council (WBC) World Youth lightweight, has his sights set on greatness and the boxing world got a glimpse of his vast talent in his last two fights, both showcased on high-profile cards.


His seventh-round stoppage of Sulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), who had never been previously stopped, last November on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event was the first time for most boxing fans outside of New England to watch him in action.


He followed that performance with an even better one last month on ESPN+, despite settling for a questionable 8-round draw against undefeated Joseph „selige Hände“ Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs), in which most observers felt Ortiz deserved a victory.

“I’ve seen a statue of myself in the City of Worcester…..like Rocky in Philadelphia,“Ortiz sagte, “but not only for what I do in the ring. I am part of this city. I’m the People’s Champ! I’m willing to do whatever it takes to become world champion. I’ve headlined a show in Worcester, but I want to do it on a big card with thousands of fans there supporting me.”

“I joke around a lot when he talks, but I support any kid who has a dream like Jamaine,” Ortiz’ trainer Rocky Gonzalez Bemerken. “That’s the way all of us were taught at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club by Carlos Garcia. We believe in ourselves and I’m totally with it. Anything positive, just keep it positive.

“I think Jamaine feels the way he does about Worcester is because it’s personal with him. He was born in there. He’s always so positive at the gym with the kids. When you’re the best in the gym, everybody looks up to you, and that’s the way it is here with Jamaine. It’s important that the young kids are positive, and it is that way in our gym. A lot of that is because of Jamaine.”DCU Center and the new Polar Park are the only venues in Worcester (located 40 miles west of Boston) capable of holding 5,000 fans or more for boxing.

“Jamaine Ortiz to Worcester,” added promoter Jimmy Burchfield (CES president), “is like Micky Ward to Lowell (MA), Vinny Paz to Providence (RI), und John Ruiz to Chelsea (MA). We’re working every day for Jamaine, as we do for all of our fighters, and get ready for some big news!"

“I’ve headlined before, at the Palladium, but fighting at home in front of 5,000 or more fans on television would be great,” reigning WBC United States Silver lightweight champion Ortiz concluded. “That’s something I expect as the People’s Champion. I’ve put in the work and built a growing fanbase, which will translate into future ticket sales. I think it may take me fighting on TV in Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden for casual fight fans in Worcester to get onboard.”

“Very progressive and brilliant Worcester city officials recognize the importance of bringing high end sporting events to the area and have great plans for the sporting community in the near future,” Ortiz’ manager Dick Shappy bekannt. “The recent purchase of the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Boston Red Sox AAA minor league affiliate, is a testament to that. The timing is perfect right now for Jamaine as he positions himself to become Worcester’s favorite son and world champion. Boxing fans, stay tuned!

Worcester is ready to celebrate its favorite son. The Day of “The Technician” is coming!

Team Ortiz moves on from disputed draw Feeling Confident Undefeated Lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Made Loud Statement

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

WORCESTER, Masse. (April 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenJoseph „selige Hände“ Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs) last Saturday night in Kissimmee, Florida, lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KOs) displayed his vast skills and courage on ESPN+.

Recovering from two knockdowns (the first from an illegal punch behind the head) and still taking the fight to the promoter’s fighter, Ortiz won six of the eight rounds but, leider, he had to settled for an 8-round majority draw with (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.

Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, is the reigning WBC USNBC (UNS.) Silver lightweight champion, as well as a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist.

“I didn’t fight my fight,” Ortiz evaluated his performance. “I fought too much instead of being ‘The Technician.’ Before the fight, I thought I was the B-side fighter and wanted to please the crowd. I didn’t realize that I was on the A-side (thanks to his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield) and the betting favorite. I was fighting a Top Rank guy and felt that I had to bring the fight to him. Muscle memory, Ich vermute, from back in the amateurs. I was fighting on his stage, so I put pressure on him. If the fight went the distance, I wanted to make sure the scoring was clear and obvious. I knew I’d break him down because I had better stamina and skills.

“I fought him too much, but I still thought I won the fight. The 76-74 score made sense. I won every round but the second and seventh (rounds of knockdowns).  I didn’t agree with the one judge who had him (Adorno) winning the sixth. He hit me behind the head in the third round and I was off balance. But the referee does his job and mine is to fight. Nothing I could do about it. The plan was to box him, going to the body, but not switch stances because it would expose me. I had to go to the body, always part of my plan, but I wasn’t ‘The Technician.’ Sometimes I switch stances without realizing it. I got clipped in the seventh round (uppercut that resulted in a standing 8 Anzahl) when I was switching for first time. I handled it like a pro. I got up and felt good. I survived the round by holding a few times and then I came back again.”

Burchfield, head of Classic Sports and Entertainment (CEO), knows Ortiz showed that he’s somebody lightweights will have to reckon with in the immediate future.

“Jamaine’s stock went up for the second fight in a row (last November he registered a sensational stoppage ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), who had never been previously stopped, in seventh-round on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event),” Burchfield added. “Adorno is an animal when he’s in control of a fight. Jamaine had to take control of the fight by being the aggressor but, as ‘The Technician, knowing when to fight and when to box. The punch in the second round was, definitiv, behind the head, clearly a foul, and it was more of a slip than a knockdown because he was off balance. If that punch was disallowed, Jamaine wins the fight, even if he had lost the round. He (Emil Lombardi) is a quality ref who made a mistake. Maybe he didn’t catch it because of the angle he had, which is why I’m a firm believer in instant replay, and It would have been ruled a non-knockdown.

“Going into the seventh, I thought Jamaine led by 2-3 points having taken five of the previous six rounds. Jamaine showed the world his endurance when he came back so strong in the eighth round. If the fight had been 10-round, or even 30-sconds longer, no disrespect to Adorno, Jamaine would have knocked him out. Jamaine is the real deal. He certainly proved he’s TV friendly after his last two fights and he deserves to be mentioned among the top 135-pounders in the world. Any takers?"

Ortiz’ Manager, Dick Shappy, had mixed emotions after the fight, understanding that Ortiz raised the bar, even though he fought to a draw.

“I wish he had won,” Shappy remarked, “but a draw wasn’t too bad under the circumstances. I though Jamaine won the fight outright. If not for that illegal punch in the second, he won the fight on their scorecards. It still shouldn’t have been ruled a knockdown, more of a slip, because he was going forward and lost balance. It never should have been 10-8. Adorno would have lost if they had to go into the championship rounds. Jamaine was more skilled, he did a good job.”

Count no less than former Olympic gold medalist and 2-division World ChampionAndre Ward, who served as color commentator for Ortiz-Adorno, among those impressed by Ortiz.

“Ortiz outworked Adorno, kein Zweifel, and he never backed down,” Ward commented on air. “I want to see more of Ortiz!'

As entertaining as Ortiz-Adorno was – it may have stolen the entire show – it’s unlikely that there will be a rematch.

“I don’t think he wants to fight me again,” Ortiz reported. “He said something about maybe when we both have world title belts.”

Ortiz has taken advantage of the tremendous opportunities for worldwide exposure in his last two fights. His reward will certainly come, rechtzeitig, moving up the ratings as people continue jumping on “The Technician” bandwagon.

Undefeated lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Takes on Unbeaten joseph adorno

“The Technician” vs. “Blessed Hands”

This Saturday in Florida on ESPN+

WORCESTER, Masse. (April 19, 2021) – Rarely do undefeated prospects with double-digit victories fight each other because of the perceived risk like lightweightsJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs) undJoseph „selige Hände“ Adorno (14-0-1, 12 KOs) will do this Saturday night, April 24th, at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida.

The 8-roundAdorno vs. Ortiz Kampf, streaming live onESPN+, will be on the Top Rank card headlined (auf ESPN) by WBO World featherweight championEmanuel Navarette (32-1, 24 KOs) defending his title against challengerChristopher Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs).    

Both young lightweights were decorated USA amateur boxers who are rising stars in arguably boxing’s most loaded division.

“I’m counting the days,” Ortiz said about his fight with Adorno. “I’ve trained hard my whole life. When an opportunity like this comes, I’m ready to prove myself. I think I’ll have a spectacular performance and impress the crowd like I usually do. I’m fighting on another big card; I’m going up not down.”

The reigning WBC USNBC (UNS.) Silver lightweight champion, in addition to being a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist, the 24-year-old Ortiz recently cracked the top 40 in the WBC ratings at 31, and he’s also ranked No. 5 by the NABF.

Ortiz is coming off a sensational, high-profile knockout ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), der noch nie aufgehalten wurde, in the seventh round last November on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view event.

The lone blemish on the 21-year-old Adorno’s pro record came in his last fight, back on January 11, 2020, when he fought an 8-round split draw withHector Garcia (14-7-3).  Born in New Jersey and raised in Puerto Rico, Adorno lives and trains in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Ortiz surprisingly may have what amounts to a “hometown” advantage, at least in terms of vocal support, largely because many of his New England friends and family are flying down to Florida to attend the fight, along with his Florida fans.

“My father lived in Florida and I visited him during summers, and I went to second grade there,” Ortiz explained. “I have a big family-base in Orlando. A lot of family and friends from Worcester are going to the fight. I’m surprised by how many people will be there for me.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), which will co-promoteAdorno vs. Ortiz with Top Rank, and managed byDick Shappy. 

“Both teams need to be complimented for taking a fight like this.” Burchfield commented. “Two undefeated, young boxers like this fighting each other is what real boxing is all about. Bob Arum, Carl Moretti Team Top Rank have been friends of mine for so many years.

“We turned Jamaine pro and through all these years as a promoter (32nd), kann sein, every decade or so you have a special one like Jamaine, who can become the future of boxing. When you find a fighter who can box, punch and set-up his punches very well, he’s special and I feel Jamaine is special like that, not only in the ring but outside as well. I don’t worry about getting a late-night call about him. He is a total professional, no distractions with him. Jamaine works as a carpenter, he’s learning the real estate business, and he’s also looking into the medical field in the future. He reminds me ofSugar Ray Leonard undOscar De Lay Hoya.  He has that charisma and is a technician in the ring. A very smart kid in the ring. He has a spectacular team of managers and trainer to work with, auch."

“For many years,” Shappy added, “our management team (einschließlichEddie Imondi) had been searching for the right boxer to come along that had the potential to be a world champ. We are very confident that we have found that person, Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz.”

Rare as it may be in boxing, the reward is ultimately worth the risk for these legitimate fighters, Ortiz and Adormo.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show performance

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

WORCESTER, Masse. (Dezember 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. Pay-per-View-Event, ungeschlagenes LeichtgewichtJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, obwohl, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, ausgeschlagenSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since"Irischer" Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, geistig, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, brach ihn, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as"Zucker" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, er nie nachlassen. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Klassische Unterhaltung und Sport) and advised byRichard Shappy undEddie Imondi. 

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.

WORCESTER, Masse. (November 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28th Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 KOs) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S.) lightweight title.

Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.

“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, über alle, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Klassische Unterhaltung und Sport) and advised byRichard Shappy undEddie Imondi. 

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”

Unglücklicher Geburtstag für Jamaine „The Technician“ Ortiz

WORCESTER, Masse. (April 15, 2020) - Auch in seinen wildesten Träumen, unbesiegter World Boxing Council (WBC) Weltjugendleichtgewicht-ChampionJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs) Ich hätte mir das nie vorstellen können 24th Geburtstag, Später in diesem Monat, würde mitten in eine weltweite Gesundheitspandemie fallen

Wenn er sich umdreht 24 April 28th, Ortiz nahm an, dass er sich mit einem festgelegten Frühlingskampfdatum auf das Trainingslager vorbereiten würde, Wahrscheinlich verteidigte er seinen WBC Youth World-Titel im Kampf um einen regionalen Gürtel.

Er hätte sicherlich nicht gedacht, dass Boxen auf der ganzen Welt verboten sein würde, Turnhallen durch ein staatliches Mandat geschlossen, und Menschen, die Gesichtsmasken und Plastikhandschuhe tragen, wie in einem Science-Fiction-Film. Und, zu booten, Sein Job als lizenzierter Schreiner endete letzten Freitag mit einem geschlossenen Laden. Wie alle anderen im Bay State.

Ortiz ist zu Hause grundsätzlich unter Quarantäne gestellt, obwohl er noch läuft, die ausbildung, gut essen und alles andere tun, um eine anständige Form zu erhalten. Keine Elite-Boxform, obwohl, was in diesen restriktiven und schwierigen Zeiten einfach nicht möglich ist.

Anstatt zu sparrieren, Er ist Schattenboxer, Das Springseil hat die Pad-Arbeit durch seine Trainer ersetzt, Rocky Gonzalez undCarlos Garcia, und jetzt dient sein Wohnzimmer als seinTurnhalle.

Die Zeiten wurden dramatisch geändert, tatsächlich, sogar Geburtstage feiern, was Jamaine voll versteht und akzeptiert.

"Ich glaube nicht, dass mein Geburtstag anders sein wird,Sagte Ortiz. „Normalerweise verbringe ich es alleine mit meiner Mutter und meiner Tochter (4-jährige Amira) und dieses Jahr wird es wahrscheinlich nicht anders sein. Ich werde nicht in der Lage sein, eine ganze Reihe von Sparrings zu absolvieren, nach denen ich normalerweise frage (Lachen) als Geschenke von einigen meiner Freunde. “

Zum Glück, obwohl, Ortiz konnte im vergangenen Februar kämpfen 28 in seiner ersten Aktion seit sechs Monaten, Headliner einer von CES Boxing beworbenen Karte zu Hause in Worcester, Massachusetts, in dem er einen beeindruckenden Stopp des mexikanischen Ko-Spezialisten in der zweiten Runde verzeichnete"Verrückt" Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KOs), ein ehemaliger WBC FECOMBOX Leichtgewichts-Champion.

Ortiz, derzeit bewertet Nr. 16 von der North American Boxing Federation (NABF), strebt an, die medizinische Fakultät zu besuchen, nachdem er seine Handschuhe endgültig aufgehängt hat, Arzt / Forscher werden. Er liest viel über Medizin, vor allem ganzheitliche Behandlungen, und er glaubt, dass er das Coronavirus möglicherweise bereits hatte.

„Fünf Wochen vor meinem letzten Kampf," er erklärte, „Ich war mit einer Temperatur von 104,5 im Krankenhaus. Fast jeder, den ich kannte, war krank, Meine Großmutter hatte eine Lungenentzündung. Ich werde nie wirklich krank. Ich hatte sieben Jahre lang eine Grippeimpfung ohne Probleme. Ich bekam Husten, zu. Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich würde sterben. Ich kann nicht mit Sicherheit sagen, dass ich Coronavirus hatte (Damals war kein Test verfügbar), aber ich habe das Gefühl, ich hätte es vielleicht gehabt. “

Ortiz wird für die Nacht bereit sein, die Klingel wird endlich wieder läuten. „Ich hoffe, im Juli oder August wieder zu kämpfen, aber doch, egal wann das Boxen zurückkehrt, Ich bin bereit zu gehen.

„Das ist ernst, ansteckende Krankheit. Menschen sollten gesunden Menschenverstand verwenden: Wasch deine Hände, bleiben durch sechs Fuß getrennt, und zu Hause bleiben, vor allem ältere Menschen und Menschen mit Atemproblemen. Gehen Sie keine unnötigen Risiken oder Panik ein, entweder. Dies ist nicht das Ende der Welt!"

WORCESTER, Masse. (März 11, 2020) – Frisch von seinem sensationellen Debüt in der Heimatstadt letzten Monat, Jamaine “Der Techniker” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs) befindet sich mitten in einem Entwicklungsprozess, der, hoffnungsvoll, an die Spitze der 135-Pfund-Division von 2022.

Der 23-jährige Ortiz, wer wird seinen World Boxing Council abdanken (WBC) Titel im Leichtgewicht der Jugendweltmeisterschaft nächsten Monat, wenn er sich dreht 24 weil er überaltert sein wird, titelte ein Klassiker unter Unterhaltung und Sport (CES) Februar anzeigen 28th im berühmten Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Trotz Kämpfen zum ersten Mal seit sechs Monaten, Ortiz zeigte keine Anzeichen von Rost, erzwingt mexikanischen KO-Spezialisten “Lok” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KOs), ein ehemaliger WBC FECOMBOX Leichtgewichts-Champion, nach der Landung eines knackigen Aufwärtshakens ein Knie zu nehmen und ihn später in der zweiten Runde mit drei Überhandrechten zu erledigen.

Ortiz, Kein bewertet. 16 von der North American Boxing Federation (NABF), gewann unschätzbare Aufmerksamkeit als Headliner der CES-Veranstaltung, die live und exklusiv auf UFC FIGHT PASS® gestreamt wurde, der weltweit führende digitale Abonnementdienst für Kampfsportarten.

“Es gab keinen Grund für Rost,” Ortiz erklärt. “Ich habe mehrere Monate hart im Fitnessstudio gearbeitet, wo ich immer mein bestes gebe. Vielleicht die hellen Lichter (zum ersten Mal zu Hause kämpfen) hat mich ein wenig berührt? Es war ein bisschen anders, durch die Fans zu gehen (auf seinem Ringspaziergang) um zum Ring zu kommen (auf der Bühne). Ich stelle mir viel größere Dinge in meiner Zukunft vor, Also kann ich mich nicht von solchen Kleinigkeiten abbringen lassen. Aber ich habe mich schnell eingelebt und wohl gefühlt.

“Ich habe ihn mit einem guten Aufwärtshaken auf den Kiefer getroffen. Ich dachte er würde aufstehen, weil er eine späte Reaktion hatte, als er unterging, Aber ich wusste, dass es vorbei war, als ich ihn mit drei Überhandrechten schlug. Ich habe ihn mit dem letzten Schlag wirklich verletzt, als er zu Boden ging. Ich habe es nicht öffentlich gesagt, aber ich habe einigen Leuten gesagt, dass ich ihn in der zweiten Runde ausknocken würde, und ich tat, was ich sagte, ich würde es tun. Ich wusste schon früh, dass es nur eine Frage der Zeit sein würde.”

Ortiz zeigte seine blitzschnellen Hände und Füße, auch müheloses Umschalten von orthodox auf Rechtsausleger, Jamaine plant, nächste Woche wieder als Gewerkschaftsschreiner zu arbeiten, und er hat bereits mit dem Laufen begonnen, bevor er wieder ins Fitnessstudio geht.

Ein dekorierter Amateur, der eine beeindruckende hatte 100-14 Rekord, hervorgehoben durch aufeinanderfolgende New England Golden Gloves-Titel in 2015 & 2016, sowie eine Silbermedaille bei der 2015 National Golden Gloves Turnier (er verlor gegen den amtierenden IBF-Weltmeister im Leichtgewicht Teofimo Lopez in der Meisterschaft endgültig) und das Erreichen des Halbfinales der 2016 U.S.. Olympic Trials, Ortiz ist ein potenzieller Star auf dem Vormarsch.

Denn er ist nur 23 Es gibt keinen legitimen Grund, Ortiz in dieser Phase seiner jungen Profikarriere zu pushen, wenn sein Entwicklungsprozess in Gang ist. Als erstes ist sein ursprünglich geplanter 10-Runden-Kampf, eventuell für einen regionalen Titel, wahrscheinlich gegen einen vollendeten, erfahrener Gegner, der Jamaine unschätzbare Runden bescheren wird (er hat nur 52 Runden auf dem Buckel).

In 2021, der Traum ist, dass Ortiz zu Hause in Worcester Headliner einer großen Show mit Auswirkungen auf die Weltrangliste ist, im neuen Zuhause der Boston Red Sox’ AAA-Organisation im Polar Park, das derzeit für geschätzte Baukosten von 100 Millionen US-Dollar gebaut wird.

Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, Ortiz wird um einen WM-Titel kämpfen in 2022, spätestens.
Der Ortiz-Prozess hat mit dem Ziel begonnen, ihn schließlich zu einem Weltmeister zu entwickeln. Die Geduld, obwohl, ist der Schlüssel zum Aufbau eines Champions!
