Campbell is a better boxer,smarter,has bigger brass and has accomplished far more ...but Ortiz is huge and too young w/power compared and is taking Nates 'name' in this carefully planned showcase type fight...Hope to be very wrong.

on paper it would seem that victor ortiz should romp over the aged nate campbell but sadly fights aren't fought on paper. this is a very dangerous fight for ortiz because campbell, when he's really motivated, can be a dangerous fighter for anybody at jr. welter. one things for sure, campbell is probably going to take ortiz into deep waters (late rounds) and we'll then see what ortiz is made of. i still favor ortiz but campbell could very well upset him if he doesn't come in totally focused mentally.
I'm really excited for this fight. I actually have a feeling that it could turn into a FOTY kind of fight. Ortiz won't quit after what happened last time and Campbell will take him to deep dark places. I think a tough gruelling fight with one of them being stopped late... I just don't know who ;D
Why don't you think he'll quit again, Jaz?
I mean that post fight interview was ridiculous, "I don't deserve to be beaten up like this".
Shit did he forget to read the label before he jumped into boxing? He must have missed the part that said, "your opponent will also be throwing punches at you"
I think he really exposed himself in that fight - He might feel like he has something to prove now but that doubt is there for good now. The kid doesn't like getting hit or being roughed up. He showed every future opponent his weakness that night.
Wow are some of you guys kidding ? this is a good match up IMO, there both good fighters with question marks hanging over them, they know this is a crossroads fight, and style wise this could be a FOTY candidate.
