ORLANDO, FL – A CES Boxing fighter will headline on DAZN for the second week in a row tonight, as Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (17-2-1, 8 KOs) battles tough Argentine Cristian “Piedrita” Mino (24-9-2, 17 KOs) in a 10-round bout for the vacant WBA Continental USA jr. welterweight title. Both fighters made weight yesterday, with Ortiz coming in at 140 lbs and Mino at 139.8 lbs.
The main event is co-promoted by CES Boxing and Boxlab Promotions on a card featuring 10 additional bouts taking place at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Doors open at 5pm EST with the first bout beginning at 6pm EST. Tickets begin at $40 and are on sale at Ticketmaster.
Ortiz, who lost a hotly disputed decision to WBO jr. welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February, has changed his mindset following the loss and is focused on making an emphatic statement tonight that does not require the judge’s scorecards.
“I should have learned after the Lomachenko fight, but I definitely learned after the Teofimo fight not to leave it in the judge’s hands,” admitted the Worcester native on fight week. “I’ve already shown that I’m a great boxer. The world knows that I can switch from right to left, I can bang, I can box, I can fight off the back foot. Now I’m coming to finish my opponents and give the fans a great show.”
If his words are any indication, Cristian Mino is in for a short night tonight.
“My goal is to win a world title, and I’m not going to stop until I get it,” stated the 28-year-old Ortiz. “It all starts on November 1st against Cristian Mino. I’m ready to put on a show for the fans and make a statement on my way back to a title shot.”
