Luis Ortiz Knocks Out Tony Thompson In The 9th! NO MATCH FOR KING KONG! NO FOOTAGE. #SUBSCRIBE http://www.boxingnews24.com/2016/03/luis-ortiz-kos-tony-thompson-6th-round/ WBA heavyweight champion Luis “The Real King Kong (25-0, 22 KOs) flattened the aging 44-year-old former two-time world title challenger Tony “The Tiger” Thompson (40-7, 27 KOs) in stopping him in the 6th round on Saturday night in a fight televised by HBO Boxing from the DC Armory, in Washington, District of Columbia, USA. Ortiz, 36, knocked Thompson down with a left hand to the head in the 6th. Thompson hurt his knee and couldn’t get back up. Referee Malik Waleed then halted the fight at 2:28 of the round. Ortiz also knocked Thompson down with left hands to the head in the 1st and 3rd round. Ortiz will need to work on his defense before he takes on the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko. Those heavyweights would have been a real problem for Ortiz if they were inside the ring with him tonight. They would have picked up on Ortiz’s tendency to throw left hands all the time, and they would have made adjustments to take away that weapon and counter him each time he threw it. After the fight, Ortiz said he wants to fight all the top heavyweights in the division next. However, that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. The World Boxing Association has a tournament going on, and they want Ortiz to fight #5 WBA Alexander Ustinov. Whether Ortiz will do that is unknown. The newly crowned WBA World heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne is supposed to be fighting 43-year-old #6 WBA Fres Oquendo next in his first defense of his WBA title. If Ortiz wants to fight for the WBA heavyweight title in the future, then he’s probably going to need to follow the WBA’s wishes and face Ustinov. “I’m hungry and ready for any champion. Let’s do it,” Ortiz said. “I’m a serious guy, boxing is my job, my passion and I’m committed 100 percent. I work, I train, I spend time with my family. That’s all I do. I look to destroy my opponent in the ring and let my fists do the talking.” Ortiz isn’t going to get it done by calling out the top heavyweights in the division. The only way he can get the bigger fights is by making a name for himself by beating Ustinov, and then winning the WBA heavyweight title by taking part in the WBA’s tournament. Once Ortiz has the WBA title in his possession, then he can start making a name for himself and eventually start getting some of the top heavyweights to fight him. But right now, he’s wasting his time trying to call out the other heavyweights. Ortiz needs to aim low right now and slowly pick up the name fighters one by one.
