In boxing circles, rumors persist that no one knows how old "King Kong" actually is. Officially, the Cuban is 46, but it seems he is actually older. Despite all this, the native of the Island of Freedom can still pose a threat to the top contenders in the heavyweight division.
This evening, Ortiz had an easy task in the face of Phillip Penston (8-5-3, 2 KO). He was supposed to be the opponent who would test his position in the ring. But in reality, the fight didn’t last even one round. The Cuban landed a powerful right hook and a left cross, sending his opponent to the canvas. Penston got up at the count of eight, but Ortiz immediately repeated the same action, and the referee signaled for the stoppage.
