Does anyone know what's going on with Victor Ortiz?
I really liked this prospect but he's seem to of disappeared lately. Anybody know what happened to him?
Re: Does anyone know what's going on with Victor Ortiz?
He just fought recently on a PPV undercard or somethin. Wasn't televised for some bullshit reason though I don't think. He got knocked down but came back to win and stop the guy I think.
He's still undefeated and one of the hottest prospects in boxing far as I know.

Supposedly, someone was talking in his ear and convinced him that he was already a superstar and deserved to be making much more money for his fights. This lead to a long dispute with his promoter which kept him on the shelf for a while. I think his promoter is Bob Arum.

According to Dan Rafael's Chat's of ESPN.COM/Boxing, Ortiz was being very unreasonable, and as a result has stalled his career.

That's a shame, I really liked this kid. Hopefully he will get it together.

I think I've read somewhere that he already switched promoters and signed up with GBP...

It seems that Linares was the one who got a blood clot in his fight with Chololo. Linares fought only once since that fight while Chololo already fought 3 times since that fight...
