Jamaine Ortiz “The Technician” (18-2-1, 9 KOs) got back to the winning groove with a devastating fourth-round knockdown of a tough and experienced Cristian Mino (24-10-2, 17 KOs) in a scheduled ten-round fight on Friday night in Orlando, Florida. Ortiz had Mino down four times during the fight, affirming that he was on a higher level than a fighting veteran.
An Explosive Start
From the start of the contest, Jamaine Ortiz proved a point that he came for serious business when he aggressively attacked Mino. Getting an early knockdown, his barrage of punches put Mino on the canvas, and the rest of the fight remained the same. The Massachusetts native was keen to ensure he did not leave the decision to the judges after his previous contentious loss to WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez. This fight was successive punches that put Cristian Mino on the canvas to show Jamaine Ortiz’s intention to take over through a knockdown.
Continuing the Onslaught
Again, in the second round, Jamaine Ortiz scored a tremendous right to the stomach like a Sonny Liston body shot, and Mino was floored. Nonetheless, Mino was talented enough to get back on his feet after each knockdown, but what can be said about Jamaine Ortiz’s fighting skills was evident in the fight. In the third round, Ortiz used his left hook, which landed on Mino’s head, to make it to the third knockdown. In a bid to press more aggression to the fight, Mino threw a right cross, but it was not enough to at least challenge Ortiz.
A Heated Fourth-Round
The fourth round increased in rub when Jamaine Ortiz applied a shoulder move that made Mino run, giving him a wrestling body drop. The referee had no choice but to penalize Mino a point because of the foul committed in the encounter. A few moments later, Ortiz made the final of the fight with two left punches, and after Mino’s fourth knockdown, the referee stopped the fight.
Arriving at the fight, Jamaine Ortiz talked about aiming to fight 140-pound champions such as Jose Valenzuela, Liam Paro, and Teofimo Lopez. His audacity to name several champions on one station shows his desire to fight for the title. Ortiz lost to Lopez in their previous match, and many people felt that Jamaine Ortiz was the rightful winner of that fight.
Conclusion
If Jamaine Ortiz can not be allowed a shot at the current champions, it may be best if he moved up a weight class to 147 or 154. Morales also dominated Mino with limited access to perimeter plays; he looked much larger than his rival inside the ring. Even as there are issues with this moving up, Jamaine Ortiz’s performance shows that he can compete against better-ranked fighters. While he is still young and continues to grow as a fighter, the key now lies in increasing the level of competition involved because Lennox is simply too gifted to be fighting veterans like Mino after that performance.
