When Ortiz rushed, Pep generally met him with twq or three lightning lefts before spinning him. Ortiz efforts were launched In the second, sixth and eighth rounds, when he managed to catch Pep resting on the wrong foot-and flay his body with both hands before he could break free. Well behind when the sixth opened, Ortiz made a courageous attempt to take command. Ortiz staggered Pep with a right to the head as the latter bicycled away early in the eighth and then, while pressing that advantage, scored with heavy body hooks. But Pep- regained mastery in the ninth and he gave the Mexican an impressive boxing lesson during the last frames.
