Brown 8-5 Favorite To Keep Lightweight Title

LAS VEGAS US peso boxing champion Joe Brown favored 8-5 to defend his lightweight title against Carlos Ortiz in a 15 round Las Vegas bout. Ortiz, 25, from Puerto Rico via New York, says Brown has dodged him for three years. Brown, 83-38 with 30 KOs in 113 fights, defends for the 12th time as Ortiz seeks a major upset. Viscusi cautions against overconfidence as Ortiz, 11 years younger, looms as a dangerous challenger. Dr Donald Romeo of the Nevada Athletic Commission said Brown shows no tonsil infection. The bout airs on ABC-TV at 10 p.m. EST.
