OK who is as unexcited for this as I am....
I mean is a bad fight or what?.....Ortiz has a questionable heart at BEST....Campbell seems like he really does not have to desire he once did

I am probably more excited for this than you are. Both guys have become very tactical in their approach. I think a lot of the pressure that was on Ortiz for the Maidana fight isn't on him. At the time he was the next heir apparent for the GBP family all focus was on him and his rise. Now that he knows what defeat is, I think he will be able to push himself farther as he has less to lose.
As for Campbell, well as long as he makes weight I'll be happy. I think it has the makings of a competitive fight, not a FOTY type fight, but at least an evenly matched one.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Ortiz has some talent but was built up mainly on hype....i see cambell beating this guys ass. Ortiz doesn't have the heart to pull through a tough fight. And cambell will give him a tough fight.

The only question is... which Nate Campbell shows up on that night?
Sometimes he looks like he's ready for retirement, sometimes he's amazing. One thing for sure... it is not a mistake that he has been this inactive. When he beat Diaz, he was coming for all of the other Diaz's as well. In the business, no one likes a REAL spoiler (Maidana did not get Khan). I hope it doesn't affect Nate too much, then imo it could be a repeat of the Juan Diaz fight. Old vet schools young hopeful.
I like Nate Campbell..
Ortiz is a BIG junior welter I think he came in at 154 lbs at fight night against Antonio Diaz, he'll be able to absorb Nate's power.

I dont think this is a bad fight. I would watch it. I would bet on Ortiz by TKO....

it looks interesting enough. i agree it would depend on what nate campbell shows up, and also if ortiz has learned from his loss. it doesn't take just talent to become great.

I know it was only three rounds, but Campbell looked old against Bradley. As much as I like Cambell, I think Ortiz stops him.
Oh hell mate Ortiz is more then a level or two below Bradley....He is more like sparring partner good for Bradley...
I just don't think the kid has any heart....IMO they are/were treating him like a Fernando Vargas type prospect where he was fighting way beyond his years but unlike Vargas Victor doesn't like to be hit
Bradley>Campbell>Ortiz.
Ortiz CAN beat anybody in his weightclass at the same time he is not unbeatable himself. If he just tried to outbox Maidana instead of making it a firefight he could've beaten him. Ortiz has the physicality to be a great fighter.

agree, the way this kid's been written off is pretty ridiculous
Campbell has no business fighting at 140. Ortiz will wreck him. And wreck him badly
