Dopo essere stato eliminato due volte nel suo ultimo incontro contro Joseph Adorno in un pareggio a maggioranza ad aprile, Ortiz sembrava più equilibrato e paziente all'inizio, prendendo i suoi pugni con attenzione e colpendo e muovendo mentre evita la grande mano destra di Albright.

Quando la differenza di velocità è diventata evidente, Ortiz ha iniziato ad aprirsi nel secondo dopo aver segnato con un grande sinistro che ha colto Albright pulito. Da quel punto in poi, Ortiz ha mantenuto il controllo della distanza e del ritmo, saltare ad Albright con sinistre e destre o infarcendolo di colpi.

“Penso di aver mostrato maturità in questa lotta,” disse Ortiz. “Sono stato cauto all'inizio. Non volevo essere catturato come ho fatto nel mio ultimo incontro. Dopo aver fatto i primi due giri per sentirlo fuori, Ho visto che potevo fare quello che volevo lì dentro e ho iniziato a entrare in un ritmo e lasciare andare i miei pugni.

Ortiz, di Worcester, Mass., atterrato 48% (103 di 216) dei suoi pugni di potenza, rispetto a 41% per Albright (88 di 216), ma è stato il suo pugno sul corpo a produrre la più grande disparità numerica. Ortiz ha superato Albright 42 a 4 al corpo, mostrando quell'aspetto del suo gioco nel quinto round quando ha trovato una casa per diversi colpi al corpo. Dopo, Ortiz ha chiamato fuori il power puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 KO) come l'avversario che vuole affrontare dopo.

“Ha un nome importante,” disse Ortiz. “È un grande pugile, ma non sa boxare. Sarebbe una lotta facile. Il mio obiettivo è avere un eliminatore del titolo e vincere un titolo. Dopo di che, il mio obiettivo è quello di essere uno dei migliori combattenti libbra per libbra in questo sport.

Il round della firma di Ortiz è stato il sesto, quando ha mostrato il suo gioco di gambe e la sua velocità, sfrecciando sul ring e atterrando a destra e a sinistra. Si è connesso con un diritto alla rovescia in fuga mentre Albright del New Jersey era alle corde e poi ha ottenuto diversi uppercut destro senza risposta per punteggiare il round.

Albright, un aspirante R&cantante B, ha mostrato la sua tenacia e resilienza cercando di eguagliare la produzione di Ortiz ad ogni round. Ha avuto successo a scatti, ma fu fugace. Nel nono, ha ottenuto un paio di diritti alla marinara, solo per Ortiz di usare il suo gioco di gambe per evitare di subire ulteriori punizioni.

“Era l'uomo migliore là dentro stasera,” disse un emotivo Albright. “È stata una bella esperienza e ho visto un aspetto diverso. So di avere tutto il talento e le capacità, e questo non mi dissuaderà affatto dall'essere un campione del mondo.”

In apertura trasmissione televisiva, Paul Kroll eMarchese Taylor combattuto per un vivace pareggio diviso nel loro incontro super welter di otto round con punteggi di 77-75 per Kroll, 80-72 per Taylor e 76-76 in un verdetto che ha frustrato entrambi i combattenti. Fare clicQUI per guardare il video della decisione.

Prima dell'incontro, Il Kroll di Philly ha parlato del poco rispetto che aveva per il potere di Taylor, dal momento che Taylor aveva solo un knockout nel suo libro mastro, ma era Taylor il pugile più duro e impegnato della gara, affidandosi a un gancio sinistro spuntato che trovava continuamente il segno.

Taylor di Houston si è connesso 34% dei suoi pugni di potenza rispetto a 29% per Kroll, superandolo 98 a 71 e sbarcandolo 109 a 84 in pugni totali.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) sbalordito Kroll (9-0-1, 6 KO) nel sesto con il più grande pugno della lotta, un sinistro che ha fatto cadere Kroll contro le corde mentre Taylor ha proseguito con colpi di scavo al corpo.

“Pensavo di averlo di sicuro,” ha detto Taylor. “Pensavo di avere la lotta nel sacco. Non so cosa abbiano visto i giudici. Ero io l'aggressore e ho ottenuto i colpi più nitidi. Pensavo di aver davvero combattuto senza domande. Non so cos'altro avrei potuto fare".

Il combattente più impegnato e più fresco, Taylor non si è seduto tra un round e l'altro e a volte ha dovuto essere trattenuto dal suo allenatore dal correre al centro del ring prima che il suo minuto di riposo fosse scaduto.

Normalmente un combattente paziente e tecnicamente valido, Kroll, un'ex star amatoriale che ha vinto il 2016 U.S. Prove olimpiche di boxe, ha inseguito Taylor nel primo, lanciando una mano destra selvaggia che mancava continuamente il bersaglio.

Kroll ha combattuto bene a scatti e con urgenza nell'ottavo e ultimo round, ma Taylor era pronto per lui.

"Pensavo di aver vinto la lotta 5-3", ha detto Kroll. “Ho preso l'inizio e la fine. Ha vinto un paio di round nel mezzo. Possiamo eseguirlo di nuovo sul prossimo ShoBox. Sono pronto a combatterlo di nuovo. Era imbarazzante, ma l'ho superato all'interno. Ho vinto quella battaglia".

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

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Giugno 10, 2021) – Unbeaten lightweight prospect Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KO) 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, e altro ancora.
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 KO), 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 Giuseppe “Mani benedette” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KO), 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,” disse Ortiz, “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 ha osservato. “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), e 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 noto. “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

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Aprile 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenGiuseppe “Mani benedette” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KO) last Saturday night in Kissimmee, Florida, lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KO) 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, per sfortuna, he had to settled for an 8-round majority draw with (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.

Ortiz, combattendo da Worcester, Massachusetts, is the reigning WBC USNBC (U.S.) 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, Credo, 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 contare) 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 (Amministratore delegato), 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 KO), 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, decisamente, 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, nessun dubbio, 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, in tempo, 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, Massa. (Aprile 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 KO) eGiuseppe “Mani benedette” Adorno (14-0-1, 12 KO) will do this Saturday night, Aprile 24th, at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida.

L'8-tuttoAdorno vs. Ortiz lotta, streaming live onESPN+, will be on the Top Rank card headlined (su ESPN) by WBO World featherweight championEmanuel Navarette (32-1, 24 KO) defending his title against challengerChristopher Diaz (26-2, 16 KO).    

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 (U.S.) 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 KO), who had never been stopped, 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 è promosso daJimmy 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), forse, 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 eOscar 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, pure."

“For many years,” Shappy added, “our management team (CompresoEddie 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.

Prospettiva leggera imbattuta Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Non è più il segreto meglio custodito dopo Tyson-Jones, Jr. Spettacolo PPV

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Dicembre 14, 2020) - Prima della sua performance sensazionale sul recente Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view evento, prospettiva leggera imbattutaJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz era il segreto meglio custodito della boxe. Non piu, anche se, mentre Ortiz si è affermato saldamente come una stella nascente di fronte a innumerevoli fan tra i 1.6 milioni di acquisti di PPV.

Ortiz ha volato da Boston a Los Angeles il giorno del Ringraziamento. È stato portato in albergo, dove vide subito Jones, controllato il suo peso, e andò allo Staples Center. “Mi sentivo a mio agio sin dall'inizio,"Ha detto il giovane combattente che stava combattendo per la prima volta come professionista al di fuori del New England. “Ero lì per portare a termine il lavoro. Ero in missione. Vado a vedere lo Staples Center ed è stato fantastico. In seguito ho fatto la mia corsa allo Staples Center e c'erano molte statue. È stato bellissimo. È stato bello vedere lo spogliatoio dei Lakers. "

Il 24enne Ortiz (14-0, 8 KO), il campione del mondo in carica del mondo di boxe giovanile, eliminatoSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KO) con un attacco di lividi al corpo, ferire il suo avversario nel sesto round, e chiudere lo spettacolo in modo spettacolare nel settimo per il vacante World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Titolo leggero d'argento. Segawa non era mai stato fermato prima come professionista.

Ortiz ha mostrato il suo arsenale complessivo: colpo duro, mani e piedi veloci come un lampo, passare avanti e indietro senza sforzo da posizioni ortodosse a mancini, punire i ganci su e giù, e i colpi al corpo più letali visti da un New England da alloraMicky Ward "irlandese".   

“Ero calmo e freddo prima del combattimento,"Ha aggiunto Ortiz. “Mi piace litigare, mentalmente, come se fosse una sessione di sparring e faccio sempre del bene. Ho iniziato in una posizione ortodossa, ha stabilito il mio jab e l'ho usato molto. Penso che avrei dovuto usarlo di più e avrei potuto batterlo con esso. Ho ascoltato il mio allenatore (Rocky Gonzalez) e lui mi ha detto quando cambiare. Il body punching è il no. 1 cosa con Rocky. Potrei non averlo mostrato altrettanto in altri combattimenti, ma me lo trapana continuamente. Al sesto round, mi ha detto di andare di più al corpo, non cercando di prenderlo, e nel settimo gli ho fatto davvero male al corpo.

“Segawa è stato decisamente un duro. Aveva picchiato molti ragazzi, compresi alcuni che ha sconvolto. Ogni combattimento è un trampolino di lancio e io sono il mio peggior critico. Ho sentito che avrei potuto metterlo KO al secondo turno, ma non volevo uscire dal piano di gioco

Ortiz ha messo a punto Segawa dalla campana di apertura, lo ruppe, e finì lo spettacolo in grande stile mentre Seqawa era ferito e intrappolato alle corde, ottenendo complimenti da persone altamente rispettate nel settore come"Zucchero" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, e altri. La base di fan di Ortiz è cresciuta in modo esponenziale mentre i fan di boxe si sono precipitati a iscriversi per seguire Jamaine durante e dopo il suo incontro di rottura.

“Una volta la gente mi ha visto esibirsi e il mio stile,"Ortiz ha continuato, “A loro piacevo. Avrei potuto mostrare di più e lanciare più combinazioni. Avevo davvero bisogno di combattere di fronte al mondo. ho ottenuto 5,500 nuovi fiori di Instagram quella notte. suppongo, Non sono più il segreto meglio custodito della boxe. "

“Il nostro obiettivo principale è vincere un titolo mondiale,”Ha commentato Gonzalez. “È stato divertente e una grande opportunità, ma la motivazione per essere campione del mondo è più forte. Ha affrontato questa lotta come un'altra battaglia, e ha seguito il nostro piano di gioco.

“I suoi colpi al corpo hanno stabilito il finale. Gli parlo sempre dei colpi di corpo di Micky Ward. Sai, la boxe è una danza, una salsa. I pugili devono ballare; Non credo che dovrebbero essere solo ortodossi. Hanno tutti bisogno di combattere nell'altro modo e quando Jamaine ha cambiato posizione nel terzo, non ha mai mollato. L'ho allenato duramente. Sono sempre su di lui e quale modo migliore per farmi tacere se non finirlo come ha fatto con il pay per view?  È stata una goccia il momento del microfono!"

Ortiz è promosso daJimmy Burchfield (Classic Spettacolo e Sport) e consigliato daRichard Shappy eEddie Imondi. 

A causa dell'incertezza nella boxe a causa della pandemia, Ortiz " 2021 la pianificazione è sconosciuta, ma non è più il segreto meglio custodito della boxe, "The Technician" è una stella nascente autentica.

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Aprile 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (13-0, 7 KO) never could have ever imagined that his 24th compleanno, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 aprile 28th, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. E, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, formazione, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, anche se, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainers, Rocky Gonzalez eCarlos Garcia, and now his living room serves as hisPalestra.

Times have been dramatically altered, davvero, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (risata) as presents from some of my friends.“

Fortunatamente, anche se, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, Massachusetts, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

Ortiz, presently rated No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, ma, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"

Undefeated rising star Jamaine “Il tecnico” Ortiz In developmental process on way to top

All pictures by Emily Harney / Fightography

WORCESTER, Massa. (Marzo 11, 2020) – Fresh off his sensational hometown debut last month, Jamaine “Il tecnico” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KO) is in the middle of a developmental process that is, fiduciosamente, headed to the top of the 135-pound division by 2022.

The 23-year-old Ortiz, who will abdicate his World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight title next month when he turns 24 because he’ll be overage, headlined a Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) show February 28th at the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Despite fighting for the first time in six months, Ortiz showed no signs of rust, forcing Mexican knockout specialist “Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion, to take a knee after landing a crisp uppercut and then finishing him off later in the second round with three overhand rights.

Ortiz, nominale No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), gained invaluable exposure headlining the CES event, which was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, servizio digitale leader a livello mondiale di sottoscrizione per gli sport da combattimento.

“There was no reason of any rust,” Ortiz explained. “I had been working hard in the gym for several months, where I always do my best. Maybe the bright lights (fighting at home for the first time) affected me a little? It was a little different going through the fans (on his ring walk) to get to the ring (on stage). I picture much bigger things in my future, so I can’t let small stuff like that put me off my game. But I settled in quickly and felt comfortable.

“I hit him with a good uppercut to the jaw. I figured he’d get up, because he had a late reaction when he went down, but I knew it was over when I hit him with three overhand rights. I really hurt him with the last punch as he was going down. I didn’t say it publicly, but I told some people that I would knock him out in the second round, and I did what I said I’d do. I knew early that it was only going to be a matter of time.”

Ortiz displayed his lightning quick hands and feet, also switching effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw, Jamaine plans to return to work next week as a union carpenter and he’s already started running before he gets back in the gym.

A decorated amateur who had an impressive 100-14 record, highlighted by consecutive New England Golden Gloves titles in 2015 & 2016, as well as a silver medal at the 2015 Golden Gloves Torneo Nazionale (he lost to current IBF World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez nel finale di campionato) and reaching the semifinals of the 2016 U.S. Trials olimpici, Ortiz is a potential star on the rise.

Because he’s only 23 there is no legitimate reason to push Ortiz at this stage of his young pro career when his developmental process is in gear. First up is his initially scheduled 10-round fight, possibly for a regional title, likely against an accomplished, experienced opponent who will give Jamaine invaluable rounds (he only has 52 colpi sotto la cintura).

In 2021, the dream is for Ortiz to headline a major show at home in Worcester with world-ratings implications, at the new home of the Boston Red Sox’ AAA organization at Polar Park, which is being constructed now for an estimate construction cost of $100-million.

If all goes according to plans, Ortiz will challenge for a world title in 2022, at the latest.
The Ortiz Process has commenced with the goal of eventually developing him into a world titlist. Patience, anche se, is the key to building a champion!

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Set for Friday’s homecoming fight

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Febbraio 26, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KO) plans to make a major statement this Friday when he fights at home in Worcester, Massachusetts, for the first time as a professional boxer.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® evento, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium.

Nel main event 8-tondo, Ortiz faces Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion, in a non-title fight.

“I’m ready,” Ortiz said after a recent open workout. “It’s good getting so much support. I have a lot of people coming to the fights. To me, I only have one job – win!  And I’d like to win in spectacular fashion. I want to show everybody at the Palladium and those watching on UFC FIGHT PASS that it’s all real, no hype behind my name. Everybody watching Friday night will know what I bring into the ring.”

Ortiz, 23, is a lightning-quick, gifted lightweight with tremendous upside. A decorated amateur, Ortiz is a rising star in what many believe will be a breakout year for him.

“Jamaine certainly hasn’t reached his full potential,” Ortiz’ head trainerRocky Gonzalez commented. “He’s still young and all he really needs is more experience. He’s a good listener with great hand speed, and he switches (stances) easily. And he really believes in himself and it’s hard to beat somebody like that. I can’t teach heart, but he has that as well. I don’t know how far he can go, non ancora, but he’s talented and nowhere close to being a finished product.”

The Feb. 28th show showcasing Ortiz worldwide will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, servizio digitale leader a livello mondiale di sottoscrizione per gli sport da combattimento, a partire da 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.

No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Febbraio 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28th, when undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KO) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® evento, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium. His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friends, Irvin Gonzalez eKendrick Ball, Jr., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 e più giovane).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxing) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28th for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, il mio promotore, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

The Feb. 28th show showcasing Ortiz worldwide will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, servizio digitale leader a livello mondiale di sottoscrizione per gli sport da combattimento, a partire da 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
