Comments Thread For: Photo: Marcos Maidana Fires Back at Victor Ortiz

[LeadUppercut]

Ortiz is shook over Maidana.

He will get his chance to fight him when Maidana moves to 147.

Why is it now that Ortiz says Maidana is not on his level?

Maidana beat Ortiz, is Victor ****** or something?

Did you watch that fight ?

Ortiz beat Ortiz.

Maidana was just a bystander who fell over a few times

In a rematch, chino had better not let Vic touch him up like he did in the first fight, because he cannot rely on Ortiz making the same mistakes.

The new Ortiz puts him away this time, like he very nearly did first time out.

If Victor truly believed that he lost the fight himself then he wouldn't be calling out Maidana's name every chance he gets.

Maidana has his number.

Imagine if Vic fought Maidana the same way he did against Berto.

He would fold, make excuses and have to think about his future.

He's got a point. Yes, Ortiz just won a WW strap. But Vic hasn't left Maidana so far behind, and Maidana hasn't stumbled so badly in the last 2 years, that he's unworthy of a rematch at this point.


If Ortiz has bigger options, fine. But he hasn't completely shaken that spectre off just yet.

Ortiz called him out for months, and mentioned Maidana during every interview.

There were at least 2-3 interviews on boxingscene, as well as elsewhere.

I thought you were speaking about something new...I have seen that interview many times.

Calling people out really doesn't mean much. It sure doesn't mean Maidana ducked him (really can't believe you are going there)..

Anyway, you have been going a bit overboard with your support for Ortiz as of late. If he loses a couple more times (even a Maidana rematch), it will be interesting to see if it last...

Don't be ridiculous.

That is WHY he wanted a rematch, because he knows he blew that fight.

Agree, a rematch would be great.

What do you mean " Calling people out really doesn't mean much " ?

In that case, chino's #1 daddy pic, doesn't mean a hell of a lot either

Anyone who thinks that Ortiz did not request a Maidana rematch on numerous occasions, simply hasn't been watching.....

" Ortiz again called out Marcos Rene Maidana after the fight. It seems he wants to redeem himself.

Maidana appears to be facing Amir Khan in his next fight. If he gets through Khan, a fight with Ortiz could happen.

Even if Maidana loses his next fight Ortiz is going to want him. With the destruction tonight, Ortiz has thrust himself back into title talk. He will probably get the chance now.

Most of the champions are busy but a fight with Maidana could be made for the middle of 2011. It would be nice to see Ortiz take on a better opponent. In the meantime I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Like stated earlier this was a fun exciting fight to watch but don’t read to much into it. He beat up a washed-up fighter like he was supposed to.

If he does get a rematch with Maidana I would put my money on Ortiz.

He may have faced iffy opponents since that loss but he has found his boxing skills and Maidana is the same fighter.

He wouldn’t get into a firefight again and would most likely box off Maidana’s ears. "

bandwagon fans.

I have been an Ortiz fan since well-before the Maidana debacle dude.

If I stopped supporting him after that loss, would that not make me a "fair-weather fan"?

I think that you are just a band-wagon chino fan, and after the rematch you will say that chino got exposed and was never that good to begin with

Whereas, I will still be supporting chino.

See the diff ?

In a rematch..... if Maidana gets touched up the same way he did in the first fight, then he gets stopped imho, by a much better, smarter, Ortiz.

That is called an opinion dude, deal with it.

[LeadUppercut]

You guys all seem to see Ortiz, and Maidana to a certain extent, as a finished product, whereas I see both as a work-in-progress.

In a rematch, chino had better not let Vic touch him up like he did in the first fight, because he cannot rely on Ortiz making the same mistakes.

The new Ortiz puts him away this time.

Why ?

Because Ortiz will never quit, and Maidana will not stop him.
