[Chew BackAtacha]

ortiz is the future of the sport, and i was saying that before saturday, that fight with maidana was the best thing that could have happened

credit to golden boy, they get a lot of **** on these forums but they match thier youngsters tough and its good viewing, its what boxing needs

[Battle*Hardened]

That's awesome. FOY candidate and had a huge audience.

Cong**** to Golden Boy !!! They have putting together some great cards/fights within the past couple of weeks. Much respect to Ortiz and Berto for giving us such a thrilling fight. Just what boxing needed. The HBO commentators were right there were no loser's that night. Both men showed they are warriors and both made the sport of boxing shine that night. That's what happens when you put together exciting fights with other promotional companies instead of this lame in house BS. Boxing

God bless GBP for putting up some good cards MMA don't got **** on boxing! Hopefully Khan will fight lil Timmy now and we'll have another great fight to look forward 2.

Same here. I thought at that moment it was gonna be No Mas all over again, then I don't know how, but he had the confidence to fight back. That one left hook...It just blew that whole Maidana thing out of the window. It showed he wasn't a quitter. Ortiz is still a young kid, he's only 24. He's gonna be a star.

IMO the experience of the Maidana fight has made Ortiz better,if I have one thing I did not like about what I seen from Ortiz it was lack of a jab..Berto does not use his jab either so it was not a factor,but if he fights a pure boxer who uses that jab he will be in trouble..But yes he erased that Maidana fight,I hope he challenges himself more then Berto did..

Great. It was a fantastic, exciting fight. Those guys put it on the line they deserve a big audience.
