Featherweights Make Way For Manuel Ortiz
Manuel Ortiz plans a move from bantam to featherweight after eight title defenses this year. Manager Tommy Farmer says Ortiz will fight in Hollywood around December 17 and seeks bouts with Lou Termanova and Willie Pep while keeping the bantam crown until a strong challenger appears. Ortiz, 26, has 28 straight wins and trains on his Imperial Valley ranch, with potential to drop to 118 pounds and later 126 if needed.
