“Fighting Words” – In Defense of Victor Ortiz
by David P. Greisman - If our greatest heroes are those whose surplus of heart makes up for their deficiencies in talent, then it makes sense that our greatest villains shouldn’t be their opponents, but rather those whose surplus of talent can’t make up for their deficiencies in heart. It would make sense, then, to celebrate the failings of Victor Ortiz. It would make sense to look at his latest loss, to watch a fighter decide he no longer wanted to fight, to see him quit on his stool, to know that he had given up both on this fight and the fight that would have followed — a return to a pay-per-view main event, a shot at redemption and a guaranteed payday. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to Victor Ortiz. It would make sense that he would falter again, to be his own worst enemy in an enterprise where the man standing across from him should be enemy enough. His first loss, in 2005 against Corey Alarcon, came in a fight he was clearly winning before the opening round was over, only for him to hit Alarcon illegally on a break and lose by disqualification. His second loss, in 2009 against Marcos Maidana, came in a fight in which he had put his opponent down three times in the first two rounds, but also went down twice himself — once in the opening round and once in the sixth. He quit, then, too, rising from the canvas but refusing to go on.
