Heavyweight contender Luis King Kong Ortiz was as frustrated as anybody who might have watched his fight with Malik Scott on Saturday.Although Ortiz scored three knockdowns and won with absolute ease at the Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo, he could not make the statement he hoped for with the quick knockout most expected. Instead, Ortiz was forced to go past eight rounds for the first time as Scott ran, backpedaled, complained about nonfouls, clinched and never tried to legitimately compete or win.In the end, however, Ortiz won by scores of 120-105, 120-106 and 119-106 on the judges scorecards. ESPN.com scored it 120-105, giving every around to Ortiz, who came into the fight with a reputation as the most avoided man in the division.Perhaps seeing Ortiz forced to go 12 rounds, albeit with an unwilling foe, might entice others to give him a go, but he was still disappointed with the fight, his first since paying Golden Boy Promotions $1.1 million to buy out his contract after a falling out and then signing about six weeks ago with Eddie Hearns Matchroom Boxing, the leading promoter in the United Kingdom.I came to fight, and he came to run, Ortiz said through a translator. He was so negative he made it hard to make it a good fight. Everyone came to see a show, to see a fight, a brawl, and he didnt want that, which is sad.Ortiz, who was recently stripped of an interim title when he blew off a mandatory fight with Alexander Ustinov after signing with Hearn, will have a chance to rid himself and fight fans of the bad taste from facing Scott because he is due back in the ring to face an opponent to be determined on the undercard of heavyweight world titleholder Anthony Joshuas defense against Eric Molina on Dec. 10 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.Scott (38-3-1, 13 KOs), of Philadelphia, gave a clear indication of his unwillingness to fight barely a minute into the bout when, because he had done so little, referee Jean-Robert Laine stopped the fight briefly and warned Scott that he had to fight.But Scott, 36,?barely did, instead literally running around the ring at times while a frustrated Ortiz (26-0, 22 KOs) tried to land his powerful left hand.Im disappointed to not get another KO, Ortiz said. He moved around so much, he made that hard, but the most important thing from that now is the rounds and the win.Scotts lack of effort was illustrated in the CompuBox punch statistics. While Ortiz landed 146 of 472 punches (31 percent), Scott landed 45 of 155 (29 percent). Scott, who was knocked out in 96 seconds by Deontay Wilder in 2014 and then won his next two bouts, never threw more than 21 punches in any round against Ortiz and never landed more than seven punches in a round.Ortiz, of Miami, landed a left hand over the top in the third round, and the 6-foot-4, 246-pound Scott went down, but Laine surprisingly ruled it a slip. It was one of several times that Scott hit the deck but Laine did not call a knockdown.Laine did call one in the fourth round, however, when Ortiz landed a left hand behind Scotts ear. But Laine also inexplicably helped Scott to his feet during the count. Later in the round, Scott went down, but again Laine ruled a slip.In the fifth round, Ortiz dropped Scott with a left hand, and Scott tried to sell it as though he had been hit behind the head, but Laine did not buy his theatrics and gave him a count.The 6-4, 239?-pound Ortiz, a 37-year-old southpaw who was schooled in the famed Cuban amateur system before defecting and turning pro in 2010, notched his third official knockdown 30 seconds into the ninth round when he clubbed Scott to the body with a clean left hand.Scott has always had the reputation of being unwilling to engage with his opponents, but his performance against Ortiz was even more negative than usual, and Hearn was rightfully disgusted.Malik wanted the fight and the opportunity, but [Scott] just came to survive, Hearn said. Luis maybe could have forced the pace and forced him to trade, but well get someone that wants to fight on Dec. 10, and well see more of Luis in Manchester.Malik talked us into the fight but didnt deliver. Luis will get a proper fight next time, and well see him at his best. Theres fighting on the back foot and getting through a fight, and then theres just plain running, and sadly thats what we saw.

LYON, France -- To be one game away from the European Championship final is an achievement for any coach. Even more so for Chris Coleman.The journey to Wednesdays game against Portugal -- the first semifinal in Welsh football history -- has been an arduous one for the 46-year-old Coleman.His playing career prematurely ended following a car crash that he was fortunate to survive, while his first managerial job in the spotlight of the Premier League was terminated just as he was getting going.Five years were spent in the managerial wilderness in lower-league jobs in England, Spain and Greece, between spells of being unemployed.There are a lot of good managers out of work because there only so many jobs, Coleman said Tuesday. Two jobs running if you get it wrong, its hard to get that third one. Thats generally the rule.Many in Colemans position might have given up and pursued an easier life as a television pundit.Coleman, however, had the greatest British manager of them all as a mentor: Alex Ferguson.I was out of work for a year and my next job, which was four years after managing in the Premier League (at Fulham), was in the second division in Greece, Coleman recalled. I went there (to Larissa in 2011) on the advice of Alex Ferguson.He just told me, `Youve been out for a year, dont wait. The next one that comes up, it doesnt matter where it is -- take it. So I did. I took a chance. Its the best thing that happened to me.Coleman regained his confidence, having been fired in 2010 after struggling in the second tier with Coventry.I rethought a lot about myself, Coleman said. I got it wrong at Coventry. I can give you loads of sob stories about my time at Coventry but actually, if Im honest, I could have done better.The answer was typical of Colemans candor, a reflection of the challenges he has faced to reach the Euro 2016 semifinals with his nation.You find out a lot about yourself when you are out of comfortable environment and you are asked difficult questions and you have to find the answers, Coleman said.He faced those kinds of questions early in his Wales career, a job he inherited in tragic circumstances in early 2012 after Gary Speed took his own life.dddddddddddd The lowest ebb on the field came in September 2012 with a 6-1 loss away to Serbia early in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.I had doubts whether I was capable of doing the job after the Serbia game, Coleman recently recalled.When you embarrass the country, as Coleman remembered it, resignation seemed the only option.Coleman stuck at the job and Wales persevered with its coach through a qualifying campaign that produced three wins in 10 matches.It didnt seem to be working, but all of sudden it worked out, Football Association of Wales President David Griffiths said. He changed the philosophy. Everyone was talking about Gary Speed, but Chris has done it his way.Wales was rejuvenated inside two years as Coleman changed the teams mindset.We used to be far too honest, Coleman said at the Stade de Lyon. Anything you need to do to stay in the game, you stay in the game. I call that being street-wise, football-smart.Weve got much better at that in the last couple of years ... sometimes its not very pretty, it can be ugly. People look at it and say its negative.Its been producing positive results.With Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey leading on the pitch, surrounded by many unheralded players, Wales qualified for its first tournament since the 1958 World Cup.The squad unity has shone through in France where Wales stunned Belgium to reach the semifinals.The team spirit is real, Coleman said. It came from the darker days when it wasnt so easy for us.Colemans light touch and confident demeanor, while retaining a steely determination, certainly helps.Damnit, Coleman said, when asked at the Stade de Lyon if he was influenced by Italys three-man defense. Weve been found out!Not yet in the knockout stage.---Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports ' ' '
