Glad I didn't hate on Ortiz. He tried to tough it out. As a boxing fan I can't ask for more.

Bull**** he intentionally hit ol boy in the back of the head and if my memory serves me correct Ortiz tried to land a couple more on the back of the head in a slick manner.

Call it karma or whatever but Lopez got revenge for the dirty tactics. If Ortiz wasn't known for this type of crap I could let it slide now I find it hard to root for him against anyone.

I didn't care who won last night but I did want Ortiz to beat Canelo. I think Canelo has been baby'd to the top but regardless of all that he's a more respectable fighter and person from what I can tell.

Is he kidding with "he fought 4 rounds with a broken jaw which is unheard of"?? Unheard of?? You've never heard of Arthur Abraham or Muhammad Ali just to name a couple?

I don't remember either of those fighters having their mouths hanging open. There are different ways in which your jaw can get broken, in Ortiz' case he had it broken in two different places.

[Primera]

Jaw broke in the 5th round

-Second break occured soon after

Ortiz underwent surgery, docs placed a titanium bar and three screws in his jaw.

The severity of the broken jaw caused a severed vein which caused severe internal bleeding

Jaw was broken in two places

So where are all the internet tough guys from 2 days ago? You know, the ones saying they would have continued on a double broken jaw?

Also while I know styles make fight I think Canelo would have made Ortiz quit or maybe even broke his jaw as well. You can't help but wonder if Floyd softened that chin some because it seems to have come back to haunt Ortiz as soon as he got dirty again.

At the end of the day Ortiz may or may not wish to compete when the chips are low down.
Should he beat Lopez in a solid rematch, a Canelo fight would surely be the next stop.

At the very least, it would certainly be the whisker test Saul requires.

Remember,

Floyd's second sucker punch hit Ortiz with his mouth open as well.

You've got that right.

More 'fans' need to appreciate that simple fact.

I don't recall anyone saying that.
