Cano is a 30-year old contender from Tlalnepantla, Mexico, who in the beginning of this year scored the best victory of his career against Jorge “El Niño de Oro” Linares in dominant fashion. This young veteran of over 13 years has defeated the likes of Ashley Theophane, Mauricio “El Maestro” Herrera and Ruslan Madiev, and he has participated in great battles against “Sugar” Shane Mosley, Paul “The Magic Man” Malignaggi and Erik “El Terrible” Morales. Cano will inch closer to a world title shot if he can score an impressive victory against Ortiz.
“Roberto Ortiz is a fighter with a lot of experience and who hits hard,” said Pablo Cesar Cano.”He has a record that’s similar to mine. In fact, I’ve seen many of his performances. I know what he’s capable of, but I also know what I’m capable of. I feel I have more experience when it comes to big fights. I also feel that I’m in my prime, so I plan to take advantage of that to be triumphant this November 16.”
Ortiz is a 34-year old super lightweight contender who has fought the likes Vergil Ortiz Jr., Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin and Lucas “La Maquina” Matthysse. The native of Torreon, Mexico hopes to create new opportunities in his career with a win against Cano.
“I’m very happy, motivated and focused on my return to the ring,” said Roberto Ortiz. “I know it won’t be easy, but I have prepared to be in top shape both physically and mentally. I have always liked challenge and I know that this fight is a great opportunity to return to the world of boxing, so I’ve been training day by day with only one thing in mind: the victory.”
