mi hermano.Juan lo.conocia desde muy chiquillo a " mundo " asi le llamaban.. en las tardes eran tertulias de amigos en el negocio de mi hermano,..por la calle " el charco" frente al cine Obrero. col Bellavista Reynosa a dos cuadras de la arena Coliseo al poniente...un saludo a todos.!

Carlos Ortiz was a great champion and very smart fighter. He uses his left jab and had a magnificent right cross and left hook. He was very strong inside and used his upper body strength very well. Battling Torres was a good fighter and he was undefeated at the time with a 32-0, 24KOs record. But, Ortiz was much more seasoned professional. Torres was just only 19 years old. I think that it was a big mistake to put him in the ring with a guy of Ortiz's caliber. He should have waited at least 2 or 3 more years to develop his skills and then, fight for the world championship in which I don't have a doubt that he would have become world champion.
Very true, Elmer. Our very own World Jr.Ligbtweight Titlist Flash Elorde challenged bim twice and lost via KO in tbe 2nd fight!!! Ortjiz was simply too big and powerful for bim!!
Una de las barbaridades mas grandes cometidas contra un boxeador, Torres tenía 18 años y Carlos Ortiz estaba en plenitud, porque no peleó con mantequilla napoles?fue patético el miedo que ortiz siempre mostró por mantequilla, la paliza al morocho Hernández le cerro las puertas, aunque el morocho fue el único que lo envío a la lona
Entertaining fight with a high work-rate from both. One has to admire the great technique of Ortiz. Torres had some technical flaws and Ortiz fought him at the right time. Good management decision.
recuerdos imborrables que no regresaran...jamas el orgullo de Reynosa Mexico. Q.E.PD...
Now this is a mexico vs purto rico fight that never gets mentioned and its a classic
agree
Greatest Puerto Rican boxer and probably one of the top 5 Lightweight champions of all time.
That's my grandfather battling Torres
Legend 👊
Ramon Ayala recorded a corrido for him.

Carlos Ortiz never gets credit for being a great one from PR.
