Floyd Schofield Jr. call Davis vs Ortiz a True 50 50 fight

Davis enters the fray with name recognition and Olympic credentials, including a silver medal from the 2020 Games. That background helped fuel expectations, but Schofield questioned how much it should matter at this stage. He noted that Davis has not faced consistent opposition as a professional and has yet to prove himself against an opponent who can drag him into the later rounds.

Ortiz arrives with less promotional support, but with experience that Schofield believes is being overlooked. He fought at the weight, went rounds with capable opposition, and had been through high-level fights earlier in his career where durability and composure mattered. Schofield said those traits tend to matter more than predictions once the fight settles into a rhythm.

The fight will take place on the undercard of the Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson event, giving both fighters a visible platform. Davis publicly predicted a stoppage victory, Schofield described as routine talk rather than proof. He said fighters say these things often, but fights rarely follow script.

Schofield also noted that popularity can affect perception if a fight goes the distance. In that scenario, Ortiz may have to be clearly decisive to avoid leaving room for doubt. Davis, on the other hand, enters with momentum and expectation on his side.

In Schofield’s view, that imbalance adds another layer to the fight. Reputation can shape the build-up, but it will not determine the rounds. He said the battle will come down to who handles the job once it starts, not who speaks better beforehand.
