What do you make of this? Lots of wear and tear since the first fight and not sure how or why Ortiz gets a payday off being ko'd 3 times and beating a lightweight since. Would like to see whatever is left of Berto challenge a deep welter division instead but they are on for late April.
Neither have done much over the last few years, but if they can make good money fighting each other with no belts on the line, good luck to them. It's their job after all.
I'd rather this than a Garcia v Salka for instance.
Good fight, but far less meaningful than the first.
I expect Berto to win and Ortiz to quit after getting dropped.
Fair enough, no better option for either and it's not like they are horrifically shot or something, no reason it shouldn't be another fun fight.
Will Ortiz quit before Berto tears a bicep or ligament
they're both shot, and neither full reached their potential or were vastly over-rated
Definitely the latter. At that time boxing was anxious for someone to challenge Mayweather and the talent pool was weak (outside of Pacquiao). So they they put these two together with the intention of exaggerating his value as a threat to Floyd.Quote:

Ortiz is a quitter and berto is just a smaller jeff lacy?
Ok this fight will not achieve the status the first fight did but it will be interesting to see what each has left. The first fight was a classic and Berto should be favourite to get his revenge.
First fight was amazing to watch. Good match up rgardless of where they are in their careers this will still be an exciting fight.
If we're lucky we get a rough copy of the first fight but probably it's more like an FNF fight where at least one of them has just turned up for the cheque and bails out at the first opportunity. I thought Berto was shot to bits the fight before Mayweather but I thought he looked decent against Floyd.
Berto is in better form currently. I wanted him to put some serious hurt on Floyd but it seemed they had an "understanding" not to hurt one another too much.Quote:

Blk Vs Mexican ? Interesting
But in reality. Mayweathers leftovers looking for a last big pay day.
