i have just watched his last fight with maidana - who is a really good puncher but is pretty limited in techinque (no hate just what i think) he has good speed but nothing flash
ortiz fought the total wrong fight for this guy (which he admit post fight interview)
i dont think ortiz has a bad chin he got hit with some pretty flush shots but maybe is drive and toughiness is questionable!!!
i still like the guys skills, he has huge knock out power (i think maidana had only been floored once before the ortiz fight) in both hands and has really good hand speed and laterall movement and foot work!!
but i still think he needs to work on conditioning and stamina the most because thats what has let him down
does anyone know who he is fighting next??? and where would you go now
options at 140???
tim bradley (but he is fighting in nov or dec)
amir khan (fighting satlia or someone next, but he would duck ortiz for sure)
rematch with maidana (could happen would sell well i suppose)
i think he will become champion but i do think there are question marks with is commitment which is a shame because he could of became a really good fighter!!
some of the shots he took in the maidana fight were flush from a very respected power puncher!! so i would not go too crazy on saying he does have a bad chin i just think its is will and heart that are questionable
also i think if he goes in with khan he knocks khan out cold!!!! style match up is all wrong with amir who to be fair does seem to have a more solid chin at 140
i dont think ortiz has a bad chin he got hit with some pretty flush shots but maybe is drive and toughiness is questionable!!!
He has a bad chin. He has been rocked before. He been dropped in sparring also. There was always questions about his chin and heart. And, that is why I was never high on him.
Could he win a title? Yea there is so many titles out there. That of course he could possibly win a title. Coutd he ever be the win a linear title? I say no.
IMO he should fight Steve Forbes next. And, then maybe Paul Malinnaggi. And, then probably try to challenge Amir Khan. He should stay away from Urango and Maidana.
