Stunning performance. It's rare these days to see a young fighter at this level show such desire to win, especially given the previous questions concerning his heart.
I thought there was a good chance of Ortiz upsetting the odds in this fight, and also felt he'd answer any questions about his heart, but didn't think he'd shut Berto down like he did for most of the fight. Also impressive was Ortiz's stamina, which I had thought could be an issue since he'd been fighting a number of 10 round fights recently.
Impressive display.
A young fighter show desire too win? thats what they are supposed too do,props too Ortiz on a good win,but dont expect me too get on my knees because he has shown heart,i see that week in week out in the ringThat is what they're meant to do, but can any of us honestly say that an effort like Ortiz showed last night is just a routine thing in boxing these days? That every underdog given a chance to fight for a title shows the same heart and willingness to go out on their shield in the pursuit of victory? That just simply is not the case in this era of boxing.
This was a fighter who had essentially been written off by most people in the sport before the first punch was thrown. It's not uncommon for a fighter in his position to try to eke out a victory, or worse, be content to just survive these days, especially having taken an early lead like he did. But he tried to win every minute of this fight, for the most part. I don't mean to ride his balls or anything - just saying it was a performance worthy of praise.
A good point. However, Victor was being crucified by many because he quit against Maidana. Victor will be looked at a little different than before, he does have heart.
Ye the only reason people are making a point of it is because of how Ortiz shamefully quit against Maidana,was a very good win last night but thats it,people shouldnt make out its something it wasnt
