Love Ortiz vs Kavaliauskas!!!!! This is why I'm a Boxing fan. I think Ortiz wins by TKO in round 8 or 9. Really hope Ortiz looks good and wins.

this is the fight I'm most looking forward to ortiz likes to bang and go toe to toe and kavaliauskas is a scrappy fighter who was giving crawford fits early on in their fight he dropped crawford as well. both guys have decent chins on them. this fight is the favorite to be the best fight of the night!

Think Ortiz by brutal KO between 5 and 7. Think Mean Machine will be competitive early but get bombed out in brutal fashion, might even be a stretchered out of the ring situation
