Editing Carlos Ortiz (boxer) (section)

===Junior welterweight world champion===
Carlos met [[Kenny Lane]] for the vacant world Jr. Welterweight title, in New York on the night of 12 June 1959. Lane had handed Carlos his second loss months before, winning a 10-round decision over Ortiz in [[Florida]]. This time, Carlos became the World's Jr Welterweight champion, with a TKO of Lane at the end of 2nd round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/jrwelt.htm|title=Carlos Ortiz – Lineal Junior Welterweight Champion|publisher=The Cyber Boxing Zone Encyclopedia}}</ref> Ortiz became the first Puerto Rican world boxing champion since [[Sixto Escobar]] more than 30 years before, and only the second Puerto Rican world boxing champion ever. Unfortunately for him, not much importance was being given to that division at the time, since that division's title had been vacant for 13 years. But Carlos defended his title twice, knocking out the respected, until then undefeated Mexican puncher [[Battling Torres]] in Torres' home ground of Los Angeles, and beating [[Duilio Loi]] in 15 rounds by decision at San Francisco.

His next fight was a rematch with Loi, and it took Ortiz to Milan, Italy to defend his crown. This time, it was Loi's turn to become a world champion, winning by a 15-round decision.

After another win, Ortiz traveled to Milan once again, and met Loi in a rubber match. This time, he lost again, by 15-round decision.
