This is good. I actually like fortuna in that one. I think Jorge struggles with volume and aggressive pressure. Fortuna can definitely bring that.
I agree! I think Fortuna stops him

I'd rather seen these two fight as b-side opponents vs Garcia and Haney than this. I know why it was made but it doesn't move my hammer.
Rashidi “Speedy” Ellis (22-0, 14 KOs), it’s not if he’ll have a shot at a world title, but when. In the August 28 co-main event of Linares vs. Fortuna, Ellis will have an opportunity to show why when he faces experienced contender Brad “King” Solomon (28-3, 9 KOs) in a 10-round defense of his WBA Continental Americas Welterweight Title.
The event, which will take place at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, will be closed to the public and media. It will be streamed live on DAZN.

fortuna by KO
Looks like it’s in trouble now even if it hasn’t yet been cancelled.

MLB and Boxing are doing everything wrong. The NBA and UFC are the gold standard of how to do sports with covid. Man keep all the top guys quarantined because shit might get worse.
Eddie Hearn has done a good job so far with his Fight Camp series.
