I cant complain about this forum though the mods are cool they dont play god like most boards and there are a decent amount of good posters inbetween the trolls and fanboys.

you're just looking for an easy way out. ortiz himself admitted he got hurt even before the 6th round. his opponent got knockout power, clinches has nothing to do with the outcome of the fight.

He was hurt from the first rd on but still managed two more knockdowns he couldnt get those save his ass shots off with maidana clinching him.

i was proud of Ortiz maybe fightings not his life goal and thats cool to me he entertained us alot for a 22 yearold man.

The reason Ortiz has been attacked so hard is cuz the fight was still winnable for him. He had dropped dude a couple times, knew his power could bail him out, yet still gave up. And of course he was a hyped prospect, so cats were lookin for sumthin to criticize. His post fight interview didn't help either. I ain't surprised to see him get ripped a new one on here.

Boxing is a sport with major health risks involved and the fighters know this.

That's why it is important for a fighter's handlers to monitor his progress in order to turn up the challenges as safe as possible in the beginning to protect the fighter and their potential future income.

It was unusual to see a fighter like Ortiz come back from a knock down to dish out two of his own, then decide not to continue. After all, he's been in the game long enough to know that it's not an easy way to earn a living
by a long shot.

So after some thought, my opinion is something or other was bothering him that he may not have admitted or alluded to.

I could be wrong.

Amazing...all this "sympathy" coming from SOME of the same hypocritcal bastards who call Cotto a quitter after taking far more punishment from a much bigger man for double the rounds...

I actually credited Cotto many times for putting up a heroic effort against Margo. And defended his decision not to continue after the fight.

2) o shutup. It wasnt even close to being that. You need to take a constant sustained beating to die in the ring. Ortiz QUIT

2) QUIT LIKE A BYTCH! end of story!
