Team Ortiz moves on from disputed draw Feeling Confident Undefeated Lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Made Loud Statement
WORCESTER, Masă. (Aprilie 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenJoseph “Blessed Hands” 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, din păcate, 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 (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, Cred, 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 count) 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 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, categoric, 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, fără îndoială, 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, la timp, moving up the ratings as people continue jumping on “The Technician” bandwagon.
Jimmy Williams primește în cele din urmă „lupta pentru titlul mondial”
BOSTON (Martie 2, 2021) - Noul rai (CT) boxer super welter Jimmy „Furtuna liniștită” Williams va primi în cele din urmă ceea ce el numește „lupta sa pentru titlul mondial” în această seară împotriva fostului campion mondial Yuri Foreman într-un meci de 8 runde pentru campionatul vacant al Federației Americane de Box din SUA la campionatul super welter, la Centrul Kentucky pentru Afro-Americani din Louisville, Kentucky.
Maistru (35-3, 10 KO), lupta din Brooklyn, a capturat Asociația Mondială de Box (WBA) titlu mondial super welter în 2009, când a câștigat o decizie unanimă în 12 runde față de campionul în apărare Daniel Santos (32-3-1).
„Ne-am luptat când eram copil când m-am antrenat la Academia de Box Joe Grier din Patterson, New Jersey,”A explicat Williams. „Joe a fost cel care mi-a dat porecla, „Furtună liniștită.” Yuri este un adevărat campion mondial. Practic am venit de nicăieri să împart inelul cu un campion mondial. Ceea ce facem este ceea ce înseamnă boxul. Nu este vorba de vârstă; e 40 iar eu am 34 de ani. Vârsta nu înseamnă nimic. Nu sunt un câine de top, motiv pentru care probabil mi-au oferit lupta, but I’m a real fighter who will be in with a world champ. This is my world title fight! Victorie, lose, or draw, I’ll be fighting a world champion. I’m not scared of anybody. It’s not about money, it’s who I am, and I always step up to the challenge. This is going to be a great fight.”
Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO) is proud to be one of the rare football players who has succeeded in boxing. He was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University and invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders.
“I’ve always been a boxer at heart,” Williams said, “so football was easy for me. A fost minunat să primesc apeluri de la cercetașii NFL. M-am îndepărtat de fotbal pentru box. Sunt o fostă divizie 2 jucător de fotbal de colegiu care se luptă cu un campion mondial. Știam când a venit timpul să părăsesc fotbalul, dar încă nu sunt pregătit să părăsesc boxul. Nu trebuie să fac cutie. Sunt educat, lucrează în comunitate, și eu sunt tată. Sunt binecuvântat că boxez și voi ști când este momentul să-mi închid mănușile. ”
Williams nu a boxat decât după mama sa, Belinda, a fost ucis în 2008 iar cazul ei rămâne nerezolvat. El și-a pierdut tatăl de cancer.
„Această luptă pentru Jimmy este de departe cea mai mare din cariera sa,”Manager WilliamsRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) a remarcat. „Este o victorie obligatorie pentru a-l readuce pe drumul cel bun. Știe ce trebuie să facă. S-a mutat la Veloz Boxing în Rhode Island și este un luptător diferit de ceea ce a fost în ultimele sale două lupte. Doar să fii în preajma ‘Boo Boo’ (campion mondialDemetrios Andrade) iar băieții ăia de acolo îl au pe Jimmy unde trebuie să fie pentru această luptă ”.
Williams a fost promovat deJimmy BurchfieldDivertisment și sport clasic (CES) de când a devenit profesionist în 2013.
„Avem o relație strânsă,”A comentat Burchfield. „L-am transformat în pro, l-am luat de câteva ori la televiziunea națională, și chiar a participat la nunta lui. Sunt foarte mândru de el. El a fost extrem de loial față de CES, așa cum îi suntem noi. Aceasta este o mare oportunitate. Nu a ezitat niciun minut să ia această luptă. Are un nou antrenor, Brian Johnson, iar Jimmy a condus rău și înapoi de la New Haven la Providence pentru a se antrena. Cred că se află în cea mai bună formă a vieții sale, pentru că știe importanța acestei lupte. Merită să aibă această ocazie.
Ceva special în lupta lui din această seară împotriva lui Foreman pentru Williams, un afro-american, se luptă în acest loc (Centrul Kentucky pentru Afro-Americani) în orașul natal al eroului său,Muhammad Ali.
„Aduc un omagiu tuturor oamenilor care mi-au trăit visul,”A remarcat Williams. „Este ceea ce reprezintă. Am pierdut mulți oameni în ultimul an. Lupta în Louisville este mare pentru mine, deoarece este casa „The Greatest”,'Muhammad Ali. Mă uit la Ali mai mult pentru caracterul său și pentru ce a reprezentat el decât boxul său. El a susținut ceva și a pierdut vârful carierei sale din cauza asta. Încerc să fiu ca el în ceea ce privește cine sunt. Mi-a dat încrederea în a fi cine vreau să fiu în viață. Am citit fiecare carte despre el. Refuz să renunț ca Ali. Sunt un luptător înapoi. "

No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz
WORCESTER, Masă. (Februarie 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28lea, 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® event, 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 șiKendrick 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 and younger).
“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 28lea 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, promotor meu, 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.”
