Forbes being proposed as one the next opponents for Ortiz

[βetamax]

According to Dan Rafael:

• Victor Ortiz, who was sensational in destroying Mike Arnaoutis on Saturday night on HBO, likely will be back May 2 on the Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao HBO PPV undercard. However, I am not all that psyched about one of the proposed opponents, Steve Forbes. Sure, he's a durable fighter and a hell of a nice guy, but come on. That's not a fight that will excite anyone. The undercard of such a big show should be better. Golden Boy and Top Rank, which inflicted one of the worst pay-per-view undercards upon us in December (under Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya) owe us fights that HBO would buy for live HBO, especially since the promoters want our $50 in the worst way.

Personally, I like this match. He's a solid step up in class and is as durable as they come, meaning we would probably get to see Ortiz fight more than a couple rounds.

Great fight for Victor. Forbes is highly skilled and a pretty significant step up for Ortiz. Ortiz still wins it easily though.

2 lbs is a boring fighter. Its a decent name but its to easy for Ortiz. Lets see him in with a strong fighter.

Damn. trying to feed the old man to the young lion huh. I like this match up too.

[MANGLER]

Not a bad fight. Ortiz should win it, but I'd like to see em scrap.

How many times do we need to see Forbes as the opponent. I'm tired of it. Give us a better fight. This undercard is already shaping up to be ****ty.

didnt 2 pound rock andre berto? in the undercard of Mosley/Mayorga 2 pound was beting berto in the early rounds but coulnt follow up, 2 pound gots a good defense and He hasnt been dropped in any of his fights. 2pound may pull the upset cuz Ortiz looks too stiff he aint got no movemnt hes stationary

Maybe this fight is to give Ortiz some rounds. Forbes isn't laying down for anybody.
