HBO Boxing highlights: Luis Ortiz blasts Bryant Jennings, stops him in 7th round

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tyson Fury really really sucked to watch, but the big picture is that Klitschko lost and suddenly the heavyweight division is a bit more interesting. British HW prospect Anthony Joshua kept his undefeated record intact with a violent uppercut finish of Dillan Whyte last week, and this week we saw Luis Ortiz become the first man to finish Bryant Jennings.

The 36-year-old Cuban (24-0-2 NCs, 21 KOs) improved to with a 7th round TKO over Bryant Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) in a pretty entertaining contest in upstate New York. Ortiz hurt Jennings badly in rounds 1 and 3 but couldn't put him down, and the Philly native did well to rally back from rough spots to take rounds 2 and 4.
