Prediction:
While I like making cases for both sides and finding value in underdogs, this should be nothing more than a sparing match for Ortiz. Keep Ortiz busy until another potential big fight opens up sometime next year. Flores has been stopped twice by lesser fighters than Ortiz, and he hasn’t been in the ring with many respectable names. This usually ends badly. Flores has the pop, but he doesn’t let his hands go as much as he needs to and doesn’t have much head movement. Flores is going to eat some heavy shots and get dropped in the fifth or sixth rounds. – Randy Chambers, Sports Chat Place
