Insider Notebook: Victor Ortiz is Ready, Oscar, Marquez
By Robert Morales - It was Tuesday, about 1:20 p.m. in Ventura, Calif, some 60 miles from Los Angeles. Walking around the corner to get to an area behind Knuckleheadz Gym, a reporter is hit by a sea of blue t-shirt-wearing boys and girls from Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

Cortez said 18 percent of the 250,000 youths represented annually by Big Brothers Big Sisters are Latino; nearly 70 percent in the Ventura County chapter are Latino. Cortez agreed Ortiz is a perfect fit. "One of the things he says on tape is, 'It's not how you get knocked down, its how you get up,' right?" Cortez said. "And our kids see that every single day.
