Maidana moves up to 147...Does he make Ortiz quit again??

Thoughts.....

maidana doesn't want to move up to 147 lbs.

I think Maidana will lose a rematch. He has somehow managed to gain a reputation and a hardcore following based on his win over Ortiz, where he was knocked down three times and behind on the cards, and his performance in the 10th round against Khan.

i think ortiz would be able to handle the shots better at 147, he looks bigger and wouldn't be dried out.

i do think maidana is a natural power puncher though and i think that he can take his punch with him to 147.

i don't see ortiz getting suckered into another slugfest, i think that he would really box and constantly move. it was when he opened up is where he got caught, not maidana leading coming in throwing bombs, not until he had ortiz in some sort of trouble.... so i think ortiz takes inventory of himself and makes the adjustments in a rematch.

i also see the confidence factor though in this fight, maidana being confident over ortiz and ortiz feeling better after his recent win and his ability to handle punches better at 147, the only thing is, maidana could have ortiz number, to where each time they fight, ortiz gets fatigued by maidana's determination, who knows, i sure don't, but we've seen fighters have a nemesis to where one guy just has the goods over the other no matter how they stack up on paper...........

Good post man

They can make him a nice enticing offer.

He's definitely earned his following. He has a ton of heart, could probably improve some things with a new trainer.

Maidana might have his #.

Here's a question for the Wartiz fans.

Does Ortiz brawl like in the Berto fight or does he try to box Maidana at 147?

I think he has to box. Maidana wont shell-up on the ropes like Berto thats for sure, he will try to pressure and Ortiz's boxing sklls would serve hime well.

ortiz would destroy him.
ortiz looks a lot stronger and suited for 147, maidana is a bit of a slow pressure fighter who throws wild punches and can gass himself out, victor will take full advantage of that this time around. the atmosphere on fight night would be crazy, hope we get to see this down the line, ortiz would deff make that loss a thing of the past.
