After Rios latest fight and loss to Alvarado in whicch he was outboxed by alvarado i hate to say it but i think ortiz could outbox him and survive but i definitely appreciate bam bams nevr say die attitude and come forawrd brawl n trade style,but his slow footwork is his achilles heel in my opinion,he really neeeds to work on his speed and footwork.
That being said we know rios has more heart than ortiz and he might be a fighter but i never believed that ortiz was a true warrior,he seeems to want the attention more than he actually wants to fight and be champ i always thought,hes more a poster boy for the gap than the ring lol
Who do you guys think would win this catch weight fight now Rios or Oriz?
I would like to see it. It would be a grudge match. I would pick Rios to win by KO. Rios is dependable and gives his fights 100% now even if he didn't always train hard before. Rios is too strong over 12 rounds and he is much gamer and more determine than Ortiz who is not dependable. Rios is still easy to hit and Ortiz can really punch so Ortiz could win by KO but I think Rios could get past being hurt a few times and get the win.
Due to their history this would be a good fight with a real edge. Major question marks over Ortiz' mental toughness and I think the relentless Rios breaks him eventually.
All depends on Ortiz mental strength in this one because he'll need every bit of it.
If he comes with that Berto attitude then I think he takes it.
If he comes with that Maidana attitude, then forget about it. Rios will take him to some dark places if Vic's not right for this.
Would love to see it.
Ortiz is too ****ing big.
He's built like an abrahms tak and hits like a mule, the two would collide in the middle and Ortiz runs him over.
Yeah, I got Ortiz in this one too (and long as he keeps his mouth closed during the fight). He's just a better boxer than Rios.
