Erics - did you see the Tyson Fury v. Nikolai Firtha fight? If you haven't go check it out on youtube. Great heavyweight back and forth scrap. Tyson was rocked but managed to hold on to KO Firtha. I imagine you were very happy with it.Quote:

Ortiz at 147 is a much more dangerous opponent than Marquez at 147 imo.
Mental toughness is just as important as physical toughness. Ortiz's mental lapses cost him the fight. Specifically, he didn't last 5 rounds before he mentally capitulated.Quote:

I think there's a very good chance Pac sparks Marquez early this time.
Ortiz was not doing ok before he got KTFO IMO.Quote:

I have now watched the fight three times and he was completely out of his depth both mentally and physically from the off. The only good thing that I can say about Ortiz is that he seems like a really nice guy outside of the ring.
I'm with Fenster, sorta like putting the horse before the cart?!Quote:

Ortiz just acted like a bitch, then got treated like one!
Of course - it's way premature.Quote:

yep i watched it, it was on channel 5 live for freeQuote:

and as the fight went on it was becoming easier and easier, in one way its good for Ortiz that it ended the way it did because now there is still that bit of uncertainty
has the fight gone on people would be talking about how easy it was for mayweather now
Credit is due there for mentioning Round 4. Ortiz shot his load and then was knocked out in 4. Good point erics44.Quote:

So by your own admission Ortiz won more rounds against Floyd than Marquez did.
Ortiz is a tougher opponent at 147 than Marquez.
Glad you agree.
My issue was never who was a tougher opponent at 147. My issue was that Marquez would be a tougher opponent for Pacquiao than Ortiz would be for Mayweather. It was the subject of a previous thread: http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...z-marquez.htmlQuote:

Glad you agree.
And, given what happened on Saturday, I believe the odds heavily favor me.
To bad we didnt even get to see how good of a fight Mayweather vs Ortiz could have been....
