Top heavyweight contender Luis "King Kong" Ortiz (32-2, 27 KOs) impressed in his ring return Saturday night, knocking out Alexander "The Great" Flores (18-3-1, 16 KOs) in the first round of their FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Returning to the ring after a loss to then heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder last November, Ortiz came out firing from the opening moments. The Cuban southpaw landed a series of jabs and a glancing left hand that forced Flores on the retreat early. It was then a perfectly placed lead right hook to the body that would end the night early, as Flores folded from the shot to the ribs, giving Ortiz the victory at 45 seconds of the first round. #LuisOrtiz #OrtizFlores #Boxing Visit PremierBoxingChampions.com for more info.
