Ortiz: Jaw broken in 2 places, internal bleeding back of the neck, 3 screws in jaw

Damn hopefully he recovers soon enough to get the first shot at Lopez again. I want to see that rematch.

I don't think they mentioned the recovery time, I guess these things can be unpredictable. They did say the doctors have to constantly monitor the progress and make sure its healing ok so i doubt Ortiz will be able to even do any hard exercise routines for a while until it stabilizes.

damn...that sounds horrible to have and experience.. if anything he's just not built for wars, it is what it is

Floyd cracked Victor's jaw, literally. This just proves how big a puncher Floyd really is.

I was waiting for it and poof here it is a mayweather comment-_-

Not even that so much it'll set pretty fast cause of plate and screws it's the infection they gotta look out for. Also make sure when he has X-rays that no lil bones chip off and puncture another vain/artery

Listening to a radio show now, one of Ortiz team confirmed he had the jaw broken in 2 places, internal bleeding in the back of the neck which needed urgent attention and he had 3 screws and a metal plate fixed into the jaw. He asked the doc if he can fight again and doc said absolutely, the jaw will actually be stronger than before because nothing will break the plate, it's made out of the same material as airplanes.

So to put it into simple terms:

He got his ass taxed, beaten, and ****d!

sometimes it takes up to 5 weeks just to open your mouth half way depending on the severity of the injury...some people never go back to been 100%...hopefully he does recover...would love to see a part ll to this war...

metal plate? is it still legal for him to fight professionally with a metal plate on his jaw?...

Yes. Arthur Abraham has a steel plate in his jaw too.
