Watching back, a lot of the shots I thought Edgar landed were actually blocked. Ortega has great fighting instincts.
The leg kicks were good by frankie, but with that size difference, there was no way he was going to do serious damage.
this is actually what happens in a lot of the fights, tavares fight, guida fight, cub fight, everyone is like 'lol ortega getting out struck and then coming back' but the actual fact is that alot of the strikes are blocked and people dont realise that. and naturally they ignore everything ortega lands, like where when he started lighting up moicano, people say 'wait why did moicano go for a take down?' and they dont realise moicano would rather shoot for that takedown then keep on getting punched in the face.Watching back, a lot of the shots I thought Edgar landed were actually blocked.

Yeah, I mean the size difference was bad enough, but Ortega having way better skills was just too much.

ortega just got a hell of a chin, cub landed some good shots too. cub praised ortegas jab, saying that is one of ortegas best strikes and that he hides behind it and you are expecting it, but not sure when or where its gonna come from, then whack!I'm
You're right, but Moicano actually was landing really good shots on ortega (the other guys, not so much) Ortega just ate them like nothing and kept stalking Moicano and Moicano couldn't handle that pressure anymore.
