Ortiz vs Thurman who ya got?

[johnm is...]

I did not say who would win,im just saying im not sold on him.Looking at the posts in the thread people keep screaming Ortiz would quit,he did not quit against Berto. And i can't just say "oh Thurman would win" when he has not even had his chin tested or faced anyone worth mentioning.

I was just pointing out that "look at his face" is a silly argument. Look at Pacquiao's face after the Clottey fight, for instance.

Assuming his jaw held up I'd take Ortiz. Thurman beating up old cab drivers and looking one dimensional doing it hasn't proven to me that he can hang on the B level yet. He is slow and predictable, and easy to hit.

I'd put it differently but agree otherwise. Thurman doesn't have the coordination and footspeed Ortiz has demonstrated. He doesn't have the experience either.

I don't think Ortiz could take 12 rounds against Thurman, who's a huge puncher. But with that said, Zaveck's slow ass though he got beat handily, was able to touch Thurman here and there. So there's really no reason Ortiz could be able to touch Thurman. We haven't exactly seen Thurman fight anyone who could fight back as much as he himself does. Ortiz would touch Thurman, but you have to favor Thurman by mid to late TKO in my opinion.

I would really like to see Ortiz come back and fight Thurman or the Maidana/Lopez winner in September. I think he'll be fighting the Maidana/Lopez winner, while I think we could see Thurman fighting someone like Soto Karass next in the summer, than possibly Guerrero in the fall.

I wouldn't call Thurman a huge puncher. Sure, he can KO bums but what top ranked fighters has he stopped? When he stepped up a little he went the full 12. Expect more of the same as he moves up in competition. Thurman can be touched and Victor can punch. Ortiz could very well put Thurman face down, ass up.

I'd take Thurman, neither of them really have good defense, but of the two thurman has the better boxing ability.

missed the fight...............

Thurman should be able to frustrate Ortiz and Beat him.

Ortiz ****s Hurrman.

alot of credit is being given to thurman. He hits real hard but he has terrible foot work. He backed up at times against a lesser puncher. And hes not the fastest guy. I actually think ortiz can over power him. And, Ortiz has faster hands and feet, and can also pop. But as always it depends on which ortiz shows up mentally
