Some people arent really high on him. They say he's too wild and that his punches are too wide.. While that may be true, I like his mentality and his work ethnic. Dude isn't afraid to take chances ..
I like him more than Gary Russell and believe he's going to be a major player soon..
Thoughts?
He looks good and exciting, seen him on ESPN and they are building him up. I like to see them become world champions. Hope he can do it.
I was a bit disappointed with him against hyland. Hyland is pretty average and I thought he would get him out of there. Has looked good in other fights tho so just a bad day in the office but he could struggle when stepping up in class
The chick on the far right.. Id tap that shit hardQuote:

I dont even count that fight against him though because he won and looked sensational in his next bout..
I give him alot of credit for knocking out Cristobal Cruz few fights before that. Cruz has always been a sturdy warrior and Fortuna handled him without breaking a sweat..
Ive been saying this for awhile but Id pick Fortuna over Russell..
I have a hunch that Russell has a weak chin so I'd agree with Fortuna beating him and I'd go with a stoppage.i think Russell has the better skills tho so if he has a solid chin I'd say Russell takes itQuote:

I question his chin as well. IT seems like he's also cursed with brittle hands which is like a death sentence to some fighters ala Malignaggi.. U just never know when those hands will go out on him during a fight. Russell is definitely more polished than Fortuna but he has a major handicap..Quote:

Fortuna is facing Luis Franco next.. watcha think about that fight and who would u favor between Fortuna and Juan Carlos Burgos?
I'm a Burgos guy, but I think Fortuna might have too much for him.Quote:

I havent seen much of Franco since he went pro but I would think Fortuna will be too strong and stop him in the mid rounds. Completely on the fence with Burgos. I could see Fortuna getting off to an early lead but Burgos grinding him down in the 2nd half of the fightQuote:
