While he isn't 100% back, I was very impressed by his performance last night. I honestly think he is one of the most talented 140lbs in the world (maybe even more than devon alexander) and he is one for fight away from being back. I really like his footwork, patience, and he way he picked his shots. Outside of keeping his left hand up when pulling back, I rated his performance a 9 outta 10. Hopefully he works out what ever problems he has, because it's gonna be exciting to see him against the elite fighters at 140 and 147.
I was very impressed by Victor Ortiz last night

Yeah he did really well, crisp puncher, chose his shots perfectly. Brought himself right towards that elite mix again.While he isn't 100% back, I was very impressed by his performance last night.

Me too. He was very cool, calm, and composed, and never over-commited on a punch all night. His defence was a lot tighter and his foot movement was much improved. And that left of his was very distinguished.
A great performance. However, Campbell is small and old. But take nothing away from Ortiz, he was fantastic.Comment

GBP isn't gonna put these together in with each until both are ranked #1 and #2 respectively in their division (which is the smart thing to do). It's a move similar to what Arum is doing with Gamboa and JuanMa.
Maybe something like (just throwing something out there)
Khan vs Maidana July
Ortiz vs Lamont Peterson
Khan vs Alexander
Ortiz vs Maidana (Ortiz chance redeem himself)
Double header
Ortiz vs Bradley
Khan vs Guzman
Ortiz vs Khan
This is some fantasy ****...but you get the point.Comment

Haha, yeah that'd be cool. You left WBC/IBF champ Devon out of the mix. But I can't help but ruminate on these potential clashes also. 140 is stacked!GBP isn't gonna put these together in with each until both are ranked #1 and #2 respectively in their division (which is the smart thing to do).
