Nazim Richardson or Abel Sanchez will be Victor Ortiz' new trainer

[tito_bandito]

He's decided to choose between these two trainers after trying out 5 trainers, and since the deal with Mayweather Sr and Uncle Rodger failed. I think Nazim Richardson would be a better choice.

How about Freddy Roach? Gung ho style, throwing bombs all over the place. 0 defense of course, but hey he's has a terrible defense already.

Imagine Nazim preaching boxing knowledge to Ortiz & teaching him the epitome of sweet science.....Ortiz would be confused like....

When he was 9 years old, Nazim Richardson had a dream that he'd train Victor Ortiz.

LMAO You know what I noticed? Watching the Ortiz that trained with Robert Garcia was astonishing. His defense looked a lot tighter and his punches were straighter, not telegraphed, and his body language made him look calm. As soon as Ortiz whined about not getting the full attention in camp he wanted and switched trainers his style went to ****. He became disoriented with his feet and the fact that he's a natural right hander fighting in a southpaw stance doesnt help. He also kept himself open throwing slightly sloppier punches. I think he needs someone that will help him fix those fundamentals cuz those went out the window when Danny Garcia brother of Robert Garcia took control of camp Ortiz.

Nazim would be better

[lx!!]

Abel Sanchez style suits him better by far. GGG & Norris... Ortiz will fit right in

[Southpawology]

Nazim would be better

Nah sanchez all the way

Nazim. Nazim's personality alone is perfect for him. He'd keep him calm and be a good voice of reason...and probably give him a tip or two in "rough housing" so to speak so it's not blatant.

But a poster above is right. Ortiz was much more disciplined before and fought within himself. It worked for Berto but otherwise he's really running in a lot more with bad footwork. And half assing it at times when he steps back leaving himself wide open and not commiting completely to leaning away from a punch.


Nazim just needs for Ortiz to get a hold of himself and he can be that voice of reason. Ortiz can be a stud he has a lot going for him. Advice cant consist of just "stay on his ass" type talks. He's a better boxer (imo) than he's shown. Great speed and power with both hands and a good chin (remains to be seen but the shots that have put him down have been home runs and he gets up). I really like Ortiz he can still be an elite level guy.

Abel Sanchez has a fine stable. He doesn't need Victor Ortiz coming in infecting it.
