    Did you like this "NEW" version of Victor Ortiz?

    In my opinion, something was different about Victor Ortiz last night.

    He was more patient and calculated, more defensive/cautious and less aggressive. I thought he could've stopped Nate Campbell last night if he had pushed the pedal to the medal a little bit more.

    I didn't like the way he fought at all. I was bored the entire fight. He could have finished him if he had any balls.

      He seems to fight scared, he has changed much since the Maidana fight. But he was constantly on his bicycle and HBO was busting his balls about it at times. They did give him credit for his landed punches but they also kind of were bad mouthing his bicycle routine.

          He obviously had that safety-first style hammered into him during training after the Maidana disaster. I think he needs to find a happy medium between his older, more aggressive style and this new one. I like Ortiz though, I think he's very multi-dimensional - he just needs a bit more refining and he will be up there with the likes of Bradley and Alexander IMO.

            I liked that he actually boxed, plus I know in the back of my mind, that he can slugg if he wants to. I think he respected Campbell's power and didn't want to get caught punching, so he played it safe and boxed very nicely. He still needs to work on keeping his hands up when backing out though, but I like his upside, especially compared to Khan's.

              Maidana still has his soul.

                  I don't think it was a "new" version, but IMO Ortiz fought the type of fight that would give Campbell problems, which was movement, pick your shots, and try to take him out late.

                    I actually quite liked it, It show he can follow a game pla and not get carried away. He was fighting an experience fighter in campbell who was looking to get ortiz into a tear up but ortiz used his head and he need to be able to do that more often.
