given ortíz is cr*p i won't worry myself too much with what he may or may not do in training
You might be one of the few people on here I've seen knock Ortiz and not consider him one of the best in his division. If not P4P.

Asinine post; Ortiz may not be a world beater but he's an elite athlete a top tier contender. He beat an undefeated prime Andre Berto; that's pretty damn in my book..
Sometimes training, hitting mitts, etc is more for sharpness, muscle memory and conditioning...it takes more effort to punch upwards and keep your hands up...
I think that's simply the way he trains...just like Hatton and other opponents see no benefit in the way Floyd hits the pads because they say he's not hitting hard or it doesn't translate to a real fight...but they don't realize it's more about sharpness, muscle endurance, timing and conditioning...think of it as the equivalent to running, but with your arms...
I think Victor is trained to punch with power up from a crouching position and to aim for the chin and breaking through guards.
this... i think you hit the nail on the head with that one
