Does this put Ortiz-Peterson & how much improved Ortiz was at WW into perspective?

[Phenom]

Ortiz won that fight and khan won yesterday I always said Peterson was underrated but he does stink up the fight sometimes

[Phenom]

Ortiz is not an amazing, or even good, inside fighter. Peterson is at least twice or three times the inside fighter Ortiz is.

then why was peterson getting killed on the inside and was just fighting ortiz on the outside the entire second half of the fight

Look at my sig,you are wrong...Peterson fought Ortiz like a wild man the second half of the fight,inside and out...

Disagree, Peterson just covers up until he gets in range, and he doesn't throw with the opponent. Ortiz's punches r also shorter, and carry more pop (much more)... The reason Peterson looked good in that fight was becuz Ortiz was the one trying to box, and we all know he can't

Seeing how Lamont has done his last tow times out, against Cayo (a solid fighter) and Khan (a really good fighter), Ortiz' stock should rise a bit. In my opinion, Ortiz beat Peterson, deserved the decision.

So, if you factor into the fact that it seemed Ortiz deserved the decision over Peterson and that one of Ortiz' 2 losses before the Floyd fight was a DQ for hitting a guy on his way down, Victor Ortiz' record going into the Floyd fight really should have been 31-1-1, not 29-2-2.

I still say Ortiz and Khan will both be good fighters, solid top contenders, for the next 6-7 years or so.

After Ortiz drew with Peterson, people just assumed it was because Ortiz wasn't a very good fighter, and as a result he was a big underdog going against Berto at 147. So when he decisively beat Berto, people immediately began to say he was just a better fighter at 147.

Now that Peterson has 'beaten' Khan, have some of you changed your mind?

IMO Peterson > Berto. Opinions?

Oh btw, Khan will be back with a vengeance. The trouble with boxing is when you get these types of fights with two young in their prime fighters going against each other, the loser (even if it's razor close) gets written off as garbage. Khan seems to be that guy right now.

... and that is exactly why these kinds of fights don't happen very often i'm afraid

Props to Peterson for offering an immediate rematch, true champ

Ortiz actually fought, Khan ran,pushed,pulled, and said he was out "boxing" Peterson, lol

Ortiz is a bull rusher,Peterson's jab was the difference in his fight with Ortiz..That and the fact he could box on the inside,Ortiz was confused,He was not trying to box...
