who wins and why ?

Easy fight for Ortiz. Povetkin has no jab , no defence and he is too small.

IM hoping your right / but i wouldnt say povetkin is too small and has no defense he went 12 rds with wlad/ he smocked perez/ he knocked out iron chinned charr at the time / and takam by ko / so its not a give me for ortiz / but im hoping he wins and i like his uppercuts on the inside and i like how he goes to the body and is not a head hunter / one thing i notice about ortiz he keeps his hands down low and he doesnt snap his jab he paws with it as a range finder ....my pick is ortiz but you just never know

Lol those are all small inside fighters.

He won only against one giant and it was a terrible bum called Wach.

Povetkin got knocked down by a jab against Wlad. He looked hopeless and terrible.

There is a good reason why he never faced any decent outside fighter

I'm going to go against the grain here and pick Povetkin in a good dust up.

I think Povetkins skills and power are under rated and Ortiz is the man of the moment but I feel a few are getting swallowed up in the hype.

both men would provide a real test for the other and possibly provide challenges they haven't faced or have come up short against before.

interesting match up but i'm leaning towards Povetkins record at a higher level

I fancy Povetkin to win by a mid-range knock out.
He seems to have improved since the Wlad fight. His whole body shape has changed.

Ortiz has one win, losing half the rounds and now people think he's ready for Povetkin?
Povetkin is only 5 cm shorter, a hell of a lot more experienced and got a far better record as Ortiz has.

Povetkin wins.
