Lightweights: Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker vs. Carlos Ortiz

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Lightweight Bout

Either Sweet Pea out-box Ortiz behind his southpaw jabs with slippery moves and counters to take a decision or vice versa for Ortiz. What do you guys think and who do you got?

The great Pernell Whitaker wins by Unanimous Decision. Too slick and movable. He was like a snake. And he had an underrated body attack. He was also very strong on the inside exchanges.

Pernell by UD. But it would be a strong, competitive fight.

Ortiz takes a clear decision; I rate Ortiz #2 all-time at 135 pounds.
