Why not make that fight if a lot of people are riding high on Rios?
-There is bad blood
-Ortiz comming off a loss and is in need of momentum
-Rios winning can justify more meaningful challenges
This fight would sell on the story of those two guys alone
Look what Maidana did to Ortiz, he broke him mentally. Rios would do the same even though he probably doesnt hit as hard, but he brings more pace, pressure and better boxing then Maidana. Ortiz hits hard, but by round 7 / 8 his head starts thinking how much does he like this now he cant stop this crazy guy in front of him and then he would unravel and quit or retire with some great excuse.
Fcuk Ortreez duuuuuuuude, he needs to redeem himself, it's 1 step forwards, 1 step backwards with that guy
I get your point but that fight would sell, very few fights would sale with the drama that these two guys have going way back. It would sell even more if both brothers would have been in the opposite corner of each other

Ortiz is debilitated right now... I can't imagine his jaw taking Rios punches over and over.
To me it would just be a matter of how many rounds could Ortiz make it before his jaw is literally laying on the canvas.
I can't take any fight involving Ortiz right now seriously.
