Victor Ortiz-Mike Arnaoutis on March 7 on HBO

Pretty mad that the Harris fight didnt happen. I don't know who this Mike is.

It's a better fight. You'll see. Arnaoutis only has two losses by close decision to Ricardo Torres and Kendall Holt and a draw with Juan Urango. He's not spectacular, but he does everything fundamentally well and is tough as nails. He'll test Ortiz as much as Ortiz needs to be tested and if Ortiz is championship calibre he'll come through a better fighter.

This is a much better matchup than Harris vs Ortiz actually. Mike is much better than Harris at this point in his career. he dropped and took Torres to a split decision, although Ive never seen the fight.

[KILLA RIGHT]

so is this on the same card as the kirkland fight?

Yeah the card from top down is as follows:
Robert Guerrero-TBA
James Kirkland-Joel Julio
Victor Ortiz-Mike Arnaoutis

Then you gotta believe they'll have some prospects as filler at the bottom of the card.

motha**** thats a BAD card if i ever saw one. But Will HBO televise all 3 fights? They'd need 2 hours for that and BAD cards are only usually one hour.

That's the plan. I say it's at least 2.5 hours which isn't unprecedented. They've done tripleheaders for heavyweight BAD cards as recently as 4 or 5 years ago. They should be willing to pony up for Guerrero, Kirkland and Ortiz. I mean if they're going to be working with Golden Boy those are going to be the three new horses.

with B.A.D. cards like that im starting to like the recession, were getting some good boxing for free

I was very confident that Harris would wind up being the opponent for this fight. The situation made me look like an ass for making that thread LOL
