Don't Get Your Hopes Up For May/Ortiz

[Joe2608]

If Ortiz can't beat Peterson then he truely has no chance vs. Mayweather.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

This is a much different fight and deserves the hype it's getting. Maybe not because hardcore boxing fans think Ortiz will beat Mayweather but he's not Judah who was undersized against a much younger and better fighter in Khan.

Ortiz is young, strong and as big as Mayweather. Mayweather is pound 4 pound the best in the game, so it's going to be much more exciting than that BS that was Judah vs Khan.

At least Ortiz will go after Mayweather if anything, Judah wanted no part of Khan after round 1.

no you dumb ****...im far from a Khan fan but only idiots fell for that bull****...people, probably yourself included, busted nuts after his win on Friday Night Fights...i dont even like Khan but i tried to lure billion point bets for him


Zab is a 4round fighter...and guess what? after the 4 rounds were done, he f'n quit

Really...

Maybe you should tell that to Mabuza, Matthysse, Johnson, or any of the other fights he won that went past the 4th round... and those are just the recent fights.

I would say ortiz is a good 2 inches taller plus a lot physically stronger

OooOOOoOOooh


Mabuza, Matthysse and Johnson...yeeeeah, they're really of the same pedigree as Khan


i guess the TS wasn't the only one that got fooled

Sorry, I didnt know you were implying that Judah is a 4 round fighter (against more elite level fighters). Your post seemed more general than that.

I guess you couldve been more clear... Dont be mad.

And yes I did add a wiki link. I dont expect you to take my word for it. The decision, and time are all listed at the bottom of the page.

and ortiz has knock down his opponent in all of his 33 fights

If you're a boxing fan you're gonna get your hopes up for a big PPV fight, it's natural. I was rooting for Judah to beat Khan, but I predicted Khan would win and I called Judah a dangerous gatekeeper coming in to the fight, nothing more nothing less.

I got my hopes up for Pacquiao vs Clottey, so what, i'm a boxing fan. I thought it was gonna be a back and forth fight, it wasn't, too bad. I thought Marquez was gonna be more competitive against Mayweather, but I knew ultimately Mayweather would clearly win in a shut out, but sort of like Katsidis-Guerrero type of shut out, but Floyd is just too good for that.

Point is, boxing fans will naturally get hyped for fights. I'm hyped for Dawson-Hopkins even with the possibility of their styles making for a boring fight. I'm hyped for Ward vs Froch, even with their styles possibly making for a dirty fight. I'm hyped for Mayweather vs Ortiz because Ortiz hasn't been in a boring fight, he always comes to fight, and Mayweather's legs have slowed down and he stayed in front of Mosley for their fight.

dude i know who Zab is...i've been watching him fight since he turned pro...that whole Khan debacle was smoke and mirrors...he had a nice little winning streak but just like Clottey, he fails in the biggest stages


couple that with the momentum that Khan was on, the writing was on the wall for a beatdown


it was almost fitting how he quit after 4 rounds and lived up to that reputation


dont get me wrong, put Zab in there against B-level talent, he might fool some people...but him in there against the elite, noone should be making threads as if EVERYone was fooled
