    Amir was systematically breaking Paulie down. Victor on the otherhand wasn't. It seemed like he was just trying to win the rounds.

    Did anyone else notice this?
    I agree, but would you agree that Ortiz had more to worry about by way of punching power? Campbell hits loads harder than Malinaggi.

      Thats when you have take into account the styles of their opponents.

      Campbell fought with a high guard all night. Ortiz didn't go for the stoppage which was a smart move because he would of just given Campbell oppurunities. Ortiz's gameplan was to outbox and outwork the older slower Campbell and it worked.

      Paulie on the other hand hasn't got very good defense and fights with his hands by his waist. Khan was able to pick him off with his superior speed and reach and did not have to worry about what came back.

      If Khan was fighting Campbell instead of Ortiz, you would of seen Khan box in a similar style that Ortiz fought which like i said was to outwork and outbox Campbell from long range.

        Khan definitely looked more impressive to me, even towards the end of the fight Ortiz looked worried about Campbell. Makes me wonder if his head is back in a right place.

          To be fair Khan didnt have to worry about any punch Paulie threw because of his lack of power.

            Totally agree. I wasn't impressed at all with Ortiz. Not at all. He will lose to any other top fighter, just like he lost to Maidana. Cambell is shot, and was godly slow in that fight.

            Khan on the other hand impressed me. He's got real skill.
