Ortiz Dismisses Davis KO Claim Ahead Of Ring 6 Fight

The fight takes place on a Ring 6 card on DAZN pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden. Ortiz has already trapped there under similar circumstances. He has come a long way with Teofimo Lopez on that stage, and the environment is not new to him. The building and the occasion don’t change how he sees the fight in front of him.

For Davis, this match offers many unknowns. This is his debut at 140 pounds and his first fight since February 2025. The weight change comes after a long period of inactivity, and the opponent is a fighter who has spent years dealing with skilled boxers at close range. Ortiz considers himself the most complete professional test Davis has ever faced.

Davis’ rise has been carefully managed since his Olympic career. His silver medal accelerated his emergence, and his matchmaking reflected controlled progress. Ortiz believes this fight removes that isolation. He wants to see how Davis fares once exchanges become layered and sustainable rather than short and predictable.

Ortiz also looked at Davis’ amateur history. He studied the losses suffered by Andy Cruz, who beat Davis several times, including in the Olympic final. Ortiz does not claim that the same results will follow. He points out that Davis has yet to face this kind of technical pressure over the course of twelve professional tours.

“I look at it this way, and on the 31st, I’m going to give it everything I have,” Jamaine Ortiz told Ring Magazine. “I want to be a world champion and get the opportunity. To do that, I need to face the likes of Keshawn Davis. I think Keshawn is a great name to beat and have on my resume.”

When asked about predicting a knockout, Ortiz kept his answer short.

He added: “He can continue to dream, but it will not happen.” “Be careful what you say, because sometimes what you say may happen to you.”

Ortiz isn’t selling a novel here. He’s betting that when the rounds pile up, the fight will look very different than what Davis expected.
