I was very impressed by Victor Ortiz last night

[murmagic]

ye skilled technical boxer, be interesting who he will fight next.

He boxed very well. Kind of similar to Devon Alexander only Devon fights like that - tidy, compact, crisp sharp punches with power - COMING FORWARDS. I hope Ortiz can get in with one of the other big players.

You could say Ortiz used to fight like that, then Maidana happened.

I think it needs to be against a rugged but beatable opponent. IMO Lamont Peterson fits this bill perfectly.

Honestly I think something was mentally wrong with him during the Maidana fight. I hope he got whatever personally problems he had during that time worked out, because I don't buy the "he has no heart" b.s. that is said about him.

Did HBO interview Ortiz and Campbell afterwards?

1. Agree.........it's bull****.....but boxing fans these days are bandwagon jumpers and will start ****ting on a fighter as soon as they lose or show some perceived weakness.......they seem to forget he got up after Maidana floored him with a heavy right in rd 1......he just needs to believe.....he is lacking that atm.......i'm a big believer in Ortiz.......

2. @starjammer....bscen has some video coverage......check out the vids page.

Maidana beats him again, i wouldn't mind Ortiz vs Khan though.

i disagree.........if he can mentally overcome the loss he can learn and adapt......i would back him in a rematch with Maidana.

I honestly believe that if the would have had an immediate rematch, Ortiz would have won via wide UD or possible late TKO. It was so simple as to what Ortiz needed to do vs what he did wrong. The rematch needs to happen because Ortiz would make that fight look easy IMO.

he does and i also think his ability to actually box is overlooked.....sure he is wild and reckless at times......but he is explosive and the right hand is sneaky as hell...........

but Ortiz put him down hard in rd 2......but when he couldn't finish he was doing the wrong thing.......he needs to keep that stick in Maidanas face.....if he jabs him and works from there he makes his life easy...........
