Like both guys but.....I got to go with Victor, I want him to succeed, he is a good kid that need some good guidance from a good coach/trainer that not only would help him inprove his D and offence, but also in the mental department too.

did he just say in the end of the video that the Maidana fight was stopped on cuts? lol
Apparently Victor watched the HBO broadcast after it aired and went with Bob Papa's bullsh*t excuse.
"They're gonna stop it because of that cut..."
He's conveniently forgotten about the part where he, when asked "are you OK, son?" by referee Raul Caiz, shook his head indicating a "no" response before turning his back on him, which essentially ended the fight.
And who could forget the now infamous post-fight interview wherein Ortiz uttered several side-splitting excuses like "I'm a boxer, I'm not supposed to be getting punched like this" and the part where he implied that he quit because, had he not, Maidana would've beat him punchy for the rest of his life.
:lol1:

I dig Collazo and hate Ortiz, so I'd love nothing more than to see Luis pull the upset, but I'm fairly confident that that's not going to happen. Guess I'll have to wait a little while longer to see Victor's skirt lifted again.
