I reckon Maidana deserves it more I wouldn't like to see Ortiz get this opportunity handed on a platter, much like how I don't like Khan getting a title shot before Prescott did or at least before a rematch with Prescott.
Getting starched by that Prescott punch is meaningless as it would have put away a middleweight. Under Roach he shouldn't get himself into such a wide open defence.
Khan to inflict a beating on Ortiz.
Khan would win, he's too fast for ortiz, beat him easily in the Amatures, and frankly ortiz has as many bums on his resume as Khan't.
PPV in the Uk (waste on money) not in the US, BAD if that.
Would Ortiz quit like a bitch again?
Hard to bash on Ortiz only for that fighting Amir Khan who got KTFO by Prescott. This is a pretty even fight skill wise though. I mean i think the bombs Maidana was throwing that night would have made a lot of good fighters quit if they landed flush.
I don't agree with the snap statements of people saying Ortiz would "easily KO Khan". What people seem to forget is that Khan, at least prior to the Prescott, loved a good scrap. He even instigated them himself half the time. Also throw in the fact that neither of them have iron chins, so it'd be a tentative fight. Ortiz can evidently get rocked, too.
There BUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting. How do you figure that?
PPV-worthy? No. Main event-worthy with a good undercard showcasing primarily the lighter weight classes? A resounding yes!
I'd love to see this. It seems natural that it should be made.
