Fairly dreadful stuff between Ortiz and Kauffman so far. The American is posing, posturing, taunting … doing everything but fighting his opponent. He’s running. He’s losing. The crowd is getting a bit restless, as is Ortiz. To help you pass the time here’s our quiz on heavyweight title fights.

We’re into the second PPV undercard fight as Cuba’s Luis Ortiz faces Travis Kauffman of the United States in a 10-round heavyweight clash. It was only a few months ago when Ortiz gave Deontay Wilder the toughest moments of his professional career before succumbing to a 10th-round knockout. We’re only two rounds in but it seems Ortiz, who is listed at 39 years old, is picking his 33-year-old opponent apart early on.
