In the following rounds, Luis Ortiz stepped up the rhythm of the attack, the intensity of the punches was higher, and Charlers Martin made a lot of stabs to try to control the distance, but his stabs were not so sharp and the control of the rhythm was not ideal.

In the 5th round, both men played aggressively, but Luis Ortiz seemed to be more physically fit and had a higher fist density. In the 6th round, Martin seemed to be physically exhausted from the start, and Louis Ortiz knocked him down for the first time with a combined punch. After Martin stood up, Louis Ortiz continued to bombard, knocking Martin down again. Although Martin stood up, the referee terminated the match.
Beating the opponent, the 42-year-old Luis Ortiz's professional record rose to 33 wins and 2 losses, 28 games KO opponents, and now BOXREC - heavyweight comprehensive ranking 10th.
