With no discredit to Ortiz, but how big of a threat was Arnaoutis?

Once again, not discrediting Victor's win. But how big of a step was this fight for Ortiz? Was it actually a stepping stone? It didn't look like it was very difficult.

For a 22 year old prospect thats a big step up. Don't forget he already beat Carlos Maussa and Hatton just faced Maussa a few years ago. Very solid win for Victor Ortiz. I'll give him about 2 more fights before he's ready for the elite of his division.

Ortiz needs to fight Holt/Bradley winner then if he doesn't. He is a protected fighter like JCC Jr.

Haha, I know GBP protects some of their fighters. Was just wondering if this was another cow to milk. But seemingly not.

Ummm wow you must not watch boxing if you're comparing JCC Jr to Ortiz. JCC Jr has been fighting nothing but midwestern tomato cans. Ortiz already beat Mausa a former champion and he just destroyed Mike Arinutos.
