Comments Thread For: Victor Ortiz: If Brandon Rios Wants To End His Career Early

[mellow_mood]

Maybe Ortiz should fight Rios? I mean he looks like he is lacking serious killer instinct these days, a grudge match might be exactly what he needs to get the fire in his belly. I think it'd be an awesome fight.

Does anybody know what the full story is between these guys? Only it seems to me that these guys are hating on Ortiz just like guys like Margarito, Vargas, JCC hated on Oscar. He's successful, has money and fame, but isn't an elite fighter? I disagree with you though mellow. I mean why would fans want to see a guy who ****s on someone with parkinsons and acts all bad ass on 24/7....compare that with Ortiz in his interviews who is always humble, kind and stuff.....that appeals to people a lot more. It's why Oscar was a huge success and Vargas never got the recognition from casual fans he did. Maybe Ortiz is just trying to be Oscar, but Oscar isn't as bad as people make him out to be. He was good for the sport and still can be. And it's better to have someone like Oscar as a role model than someone like Margarito!

its ok to disagree!!

i believe fans would like to see that fight.... it has all the ingredients... the so called good guy and the bad guy..... the thing is that ortiz was rushed to the stardom... hes pretty good... but in the maidana fight... he did it all wrong.... cos he wanted to ko the guy.... I think hes going to make the same mistake with rios due to this feud.....

dont know any details about their feud besides what he says on this interview.... but I remember that both guys were coming along almost at the same pace..... about 3-4 years ago... but by that time.. ortiz was being developed by top rank... while brandon wasnt.....

that was the difference between them.... still.. i have to recognize that ortiz showed more natural abilities/skills than rios by that time.... but brandon have been doing his homework lately... he organized his personal life... and now that hes with top rank, things can change..... he has room to develop,, still young and havent been battered yet....

if they fight and for some moment "ortiz demons" (maidana fight) comes to play a role in their fight.. im definitely picking brandon to capitalize on that... since he have been eager to get all that "recognition & buzz " that have been around victor ortiz since day 1......

in essence, i pick him due to the way he respond in the maidana fight... brandon knows that..... and he will aim to his heart.... and it will be blood & guts by both parties.......

its gonna be a hell of a fight..... with me rooting for the underdog!!

Ortiz shouldn't be calling a street puncher like Rios. Yes, He has NO skills and no way of winning by points, but He has the punch He can't take and that along makes him dangerous for Ortiz. He should be looking for a fight vs Khan. That one would be a 50 50.

I say

Ortiz-Peterson rematch and Rios-Maidana double header!
and the winners fight eachother.

I dislike Rios after the Marg-Pac fight, but I dislike Ortiz more after the maidana fight so I see it playing out like this. Rios black hoody Ortiz shirtless

I prefer Ortiz to Rios, who's an asswipe, but man, Ortiz is far too true to type. Harry Potter references? It's enough of a hindrance that he looks about 15. Would still pick him in this fight tho.

Ortiz wins, Rios can't hang with him
