Ruiz lands, and Ortiz fires back with a nice little combination.
Crowd starting to get a little impatient. Ruiz pressuring more this round, it’s not great “pressure” with a lot of punches, but he’s not SO tenatively staying at range the way he was the last couple rounds. Ruiz trying to pick it up just a hair, but doesn’t land on a little half-rush and doesn’t press it more, doesn’t want to get reckless. This has slowed considerably after both tasted the power of the other in the second round. But he’s controlling the distance right now, and some judges will take that alone in a mostly uneventful round. Ortiz shoots one to the body, doesn’t get there. He feints with a left, and Ruiz bites big, but Ortiz not quick enough to make him pay, either. He might have gotten the third with that, and he lands a couple good ones here. I think it’s smart, but it’s giving Ortiz the chance to win rounds on jabs when he throws them. Some mouses (mice?) forming under the eyes of Ruiz, too. And there’s not a lot he can do about it but try to tactically make Ruiz hesitant to come in at all. Ortiz clearly a little uncomfortable with how quickly Ruiz can strike. Trying to find the time to go in, and then shoots in with a right just as I say that. Pace has slowed, Ortiz staying cocked to the side, Ruiz not rushing in at him. Ruiz has been smart about taking that bait he’s taking it, but trying to avoid the worst that can come of it, and so far doing a good job. Ortiz trying to stay center ring, invite Ruiz in to time him. Ruiz right hand, left hand back from Ortiz! LET’S GO, BABY! THE BIG GUYS! Ruiz 10-7, 19-17 Ortiz still not fully back but avoiding shots. Right hand from Ruiz connects, more slapping than before. Ruiz smells the blood in the water and he’s going after him! Left hand back from Ortiz as Ruiz gets too aggressive! Another left clips Ruiz, not flush. We may be headed for an early night here. He’s ruled down a second time just after! He’s STILL wobbly. DOWN GOES ORTIZ ON A QUICK SHOT FROM RUIZ! THAT’S THE HAND SPEED! Ortiz is not on good legs. Ruiz trying to step in, Ortiz trying to time him. Ruiz driven back on a left hand late in the round from Ortiz, clear best punch of the round. Brian Kenny notes Ruiz has never faced a southpaw as in the pros before. But Ruiz also looks a little tentative, feeling the southpaw Ortiz out. Ruiz with a little body shot, he looks like he wants to use his speed, and that’s obviously the right idea. Ortiz, check out the live blog from Bad Left Hook.
