WORCESTER, Aifreann. (Feabhra 26, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) World Youth curadh lightweightJamaine "An Teicneoir" Ortiz (12-0, 6 Kos) plans to make a major statement this Friday when he fights at home in Worcester, Massachusetts, for the first time as a professional boxer.
Beidh Ortiz ceannlíne aCES Dornálaíochta ar UFC PASS FIGHT® imeacht, chun cinn ag Classic Siamsaíocht agus Spóirt (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium.
I gcás 8-bhabhta mó, Ortiz faces Mexican knockout specialist"Loco" Ronaldo Luis Castillo (22-5, 17 Kos), 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, fós, but he’s talented and nowhere close to being a finished product.”
