While the enormity of the bout isn’t lost on Claggett, he is treating the fight like he has every fight in his career - like it is the most important fight of his life.
Ortiz, who normally fights from an orthodox stance, boxed from the outside as a southpaw, using footwork and jabs to set up quick counters. Lopez pushed forward, bursting with jabs and right hands, though he had difficulty cutting off the ring, especially following the third and fourth rounds.
