First off.. that was one hell of a fight! Props to Maidina, he took Ortiz out in a hometown crowed.
After the fight though Ortiz seemed a little unsure of whether he wanted to continue his career. I hope he does. Sure he's suffered a humiliating setback but it's not the end. He shouldn't give up. There are many fighters who have suffered embarrassing early losses in their careers and gone on to be great champions such as Manny Pacquiao.
Maidina was too much too soon for Ortiz though. That was some sorry ass management by GBP imo.. it was on some Main Events type ****. They keep doing this and they gonna have their fighters end up like Vargas. Maidina is an experienced fighter who if it wasn't for a controversial close fight, could have been undefeated. Ortiz is green and only 22.. what was going through their minds?
Also, what was going through Ortiz's mind? He had Maidina hurt. If he would have paced himself instead of trying to go for the kill. He got too carried away trying to please the hometown crowed and as a result got KO'd.
I'm a still back the boy, I hope he comes back stronger then ever. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes, picks up some experience and gets back on the road to being a world champion.
