Losing to Maidana isn't a big deal

[jcarr71]

He is a world class fighter. I thought he beat Kotelnik by at least three rounds, but Germany doesn't let some people win. He should be undefeated and a champ. Maybe Ortiz was never going to be P4P elite, or maybe two elite 140 pound power punchers met and one of them had to be stopped. I just don't get how losing so competitively to such a good fighter could be being exposed. Same with Diaz versus Campbell and countless others before.

Its the way Ortiz lost. Instead of clintching and figuring out how to stop his opponent's right hand.. when he got ruffed up in there.. he quit. Championship fighters do not do that. He lost the desire to win, when he had an opportunity to turn the tide in his favor again. He needs to add dimensions to his game.. he was exposed tonight IMO.

He turned around the fight with those clinches Victor did not have an anwser after that.

A world class fighter only throws right hands the majority of the fight and never uses the jab?

Maidana is a tough fighter, but he is more of a brawler than a boxer. He has alot of flaws, and alot of his flaws were shown early in the fight when Victor elected to be the boxer and not try to be the brawler against a brawler. When Ortiz decided he could brawl with Maidana, that is when he started getting hit by punches he didn't need to be hit by.

Kotelnik clearly beat Maidana. He was blocking most of Maidana's punches and was landing counter punches at will, he used his superior technical skills to outbox Maidana and win a well deserved decision....Great fight!

I enjoy the style of Ortiz. But when you fight like that, you better be able to to take a Trinidad-Mayorga style beating and then laugh. Ortiz doesnt have it in him to make it the hard way. He will never be elite.
