Victor Ortiz Clears The Air On The Maidana TKO Loss

[Pullcounter]

Good article. I'm gald to hear Ortiz clear up the misconceptions. DLH is right though, all 3 judges had Ortiz winning 48-45 at the time of the stoppage; it should have been Ortiz' night.

well, ortiz did have maidana on the floor 3x.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Ortiz has the raw talent but he's very flawed at the moment. If he couldn't handle a very crude Maidana (admittedly very tough also, but still) then I think I, and most people, have overestimated him somewhat. At least overestimated where he currently is, development wise

The quitting thing, meh... It is what it is... I was more disappointed in Victor's actual performance than that mess

Great Post bro!..green K..

I agree and feel the same..although still a fan..it just wasn't him last Saturday..he got ahead of himself..and got too confident after that first KD..he needs to control his emotions in and out of the ring..I'm sure he'll be back..and only he can show us what he's really made of..the next time he's in there with a puncher..

man i know that victor will destroy maidana if he gets a rematch...... most fighters have off nights, and the good ones bounce back.... ortiz is a good one

Ortiz has taken the first step to rebuilding his career and reputation...let's wait and see how he does next time out. Richard Schaeffer on the other hand is just making things worse with these wild charges of rabbit punches being a reason Victor lost. He was in the hospital until 3 a.m. because these so-called rabbit punches? Oh, for ****'s sake! - Let the kid take his lumps and learn from this instead of making up silly excuses. You didn't hear Josh Clottey crying about a REAL rabbit punch after the Cotto win.

Yeah Clottey never complains

I swear I am getting sick and tired of this douche bag Shaeffer.

Victor Ortiz is too happy-go-lucky for me.

The part that scares me about Ortiz is how easy he was getting countered.
Over and over again but a guy that cant really box.
He needs a defensive specialist like Mayweather Sr to train him....seriously.
Victor is young enough to learn unlike Hatton.
Its not the end of the world but his defense is ****....and Vargas was WAY better than this dude at 22.........WAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

No one will be shocked if he beats him in a rematch, he was clearly winning the fight when elected to box. But he wanted brawl with a very powerful puncher and paid the price. He still quit though, he gets up quick from a knock down then looks away an nods from the ref as if he saying no more then he goes to the ring doctor. And to confirm it after the fight is when he said, I won't go out on my back. The kid talked as if he is a pretty boy and was upset a bit that his face got busted up.

As someone else posted, if he wanted to just tap out because things weren't going his way than MMA is the perfect sport for him. Quitting might be okay in MMA, but in boxing it is frowned upon especially when it appears he quit because things weren't going his way in that round.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it! I was going to say that he did make an angry face at Mayorga while pointing his finger but wasn't sure...there's all the evidence I needed.

Thank you, Libido!

ortiz wasn't getting countered... both dudes were just throwing wild shots

ortiz is a quitter, got his *ss beat by a fighter he knocked down 3 or more times, that only threw right hand leads, to the head, Victor got saved by the ref, (ref asked ortiz if he wanted to continue? ortiz shook his head, NO. ref pulled him to the corner and TOLD the DR. "STOP THE FIGHT") Saving Ortiz and bull****boy promotions from further embarresement that left another of GBP "MAIN PROTAGE FIGHTER" knocked out!!!!!!!!!!!!! Victor do what your boss has done all his career, challenge ARCE or CALDERON, win then claim greatness. Or lose (like your boss) and claim dehydration>>> what ever sells best!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN IT'S NOT ABOUT BOXING!! IT'S ABOUT MONEY
