Caribbean Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida hosted the ShoBox card on Friday night, a double title marked by the scheduled ten-round gentle love affair between Jamaine Ortiz and Nahir Albright. However, the first was a super heavyweight match between Marquis Taylor 12-1-1 and Paul Kroll 9-0. The match is the scheduled 8th round. The opening chapter is a bit sloppy, with the Marquis attempting to use his height advantage while Kroll tries to infiltrate his men. Taylor was the more restrained of the two fighters in the second round, as Kroll whirled around in search of figurative fences.
The third was rather unusual, although Taylor was able to control the tempo as he alternated between maintaining range and holding. The fourth thing says that Taylor is increasingly confident, shot the right more determined. Kroll begins to fade in the fifth season. Taylor responded with effective aggression. If he had had a little more power, Taylor could have put Kroll out there. Kroll was tagged by a hard fruit in season six, even though he fought based on gambling. However, Taylor took control. No matter how hard he tried, Kroll continued to not be able to squeeze into Taylor’s 7th round. The final round saw each man give his all. Kroll really seemed to finally get to Taylor a bit towards the end of the round, but that wasn’t enough.
The referees unreasonably ruled the match a draw.
It’s time for the main event. 14-0 Ortiz and 14-1 Albright have experienced most of each other’s first impressions, although it is clear that Ortiz is eager to start landing on his elder. The second half ended, with Ortiz the aggressor and Albright finishing from the back. The third half saw Ortiz’s aggression begin to pay off as he began to land on Albright in a favorable way. While Albright regularly delivered his jab in the fourth round, he couldn’t hold out Ortiz as Ortiz would rush inside.
The fifth part shows the fact that Ortiz can use a sharp defense as well as aggressive attack. Albright certainly doesn’t approach well with any consistency. Albright looks like he has a slightly better sixth, but is he doing well enough to win the round? Albright tried to step up the action in the seventh inning, but there was no successful moment. Season eight saw good levels of excitement and infighting. Ortiz, however, seems to be the stronger of the two. The ninth fight was a high octane fight, but Ortiz was the sharper of the two. Ortiz fought smartly in the tenth round by wisely keeping his distance from the aggressive Albright.
The judges ruled in favor or Ortiz by unanimous decision.
