Victor Ortiz is a quiter

[Onix]

Lost so much respect for this rising prospect after the way he gave up.

[ElTerribleMorales]

and so starts the ridiculous bashing, he's a young kid, and it was a grueling fight, give him a break

that fight i think could be canidate for fight of the year but how after one stubborn round could he be such a baby after having to overcome so much in his life

[jon09]

Victor is in the wrong sport if he does not want to get hurt. Maidana vs Torres would be awesome.

[Onix]

He's seems like a smart guy and well spoken. Hopefully he can get a job as a real estate agent or something.

why hate on the guy, I hate this shit fans deeming a guy a quiter or some such nonsense. It's boxing, they get hurt, he got taged hard numerous times, and like he said he'd like to be able to speak in old age. I respect guys whom aren't to proud to throw in the towel, nothing wrong with that. I like boxing but hate to see anyone ever hurt in the sport, and guys usually get hurt cause they're to proud to quit or cause the ref or corner aren't throwing in the towel. Good fight, nothing wrong with ortiz's decision those were some bombs he took

[Jesse James]

I can respect if he doesn't want to end up like Ali, I just thought it was strange when he said he doesn't think he deserves to take this punishment. wtf? You've fought 25 fights and just now decided that boxing is too rough for you? That was not even that horrible of a beating anyway. It seems like he's saying boxing is only worth it if you never lose.

It's not a knock on Vic as the kid is obviously humble. It's just the prefight hype his hardship in life and so forth made my expectations higher. He also looks like a BIG junior welter.

9 times out of 10 those are the bandwagon fans, and seriously that's something that irks me, i'm not a huge fan of any fighter in specific right now, but i'm a fan of many, let me correct that, i'm not an unbiased fan of ANY fighter, hate all this turning on the guy and kicking him when they're down, but quickly get on the bandwagon when they have a huge win in the future, that kind of shit is utter nonsense

My thoughts as well. This is a sport and while I love the blood and guts aspect the ultimate goal should be to protect the health of the fighters. He got up from the canvass once and put his opponent down several times after.

Maidana was able to dig deeper and credit to him for doing so, but if he (maidana) chose to quit I wouldn't have blamed him either. Both guys took a lot of punishment and delivered a very exciting fight.

I think Ortiz is smart guy for quiting when he did and had guts enough to finish a post fight interview after a devastating lost. Most guys would've left the ring immediately with tears in their throat. He'll get over it and will come back and learn from the lost.

I like many others hope that Maidana gets a world class trainer and quickly. He reminds a lot of Ricardo Torres. Great power and talent but could needs polishing.

looking at your avatar, Cotto technically quit against Margarito, and Margarito himself turned out to be a cheater, he seemed like a smart decent guy, maybe he should get a job in construction seeing how he's so well acquainted with plaster, Ortiz is a young kid, and he showed balls stepping in there against a guy like Maidana, with wins like Arnaoutis and Maussa under his belt, and under 3 rnds at that says he still has a bright future

[Pavlik]

It's perfectly fine not to go out on your shield and want to preserve your health for the future. But so much is expected out of him SOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH!!!

[Pavlik]

Much before this fight I was eyeing him as a future welterweight sensation too because of his skill, power and size. It all came crumbling down from a guy 5'7" with HEART!!!

[generalbulldog]

I'm not in the ring taking the punishment so I'm not going to criticise the fight.

The fighters in the ring are taking the risk, if they can't take it anymore then who can blame them for throwing in the towel? A lot of great fighters in boxing history have thrown in the towel when they couldn't take it anymore.

good show but vic boxing might not be your calling heart and willing to die in the ring corny as that sounds is probably the most important part of being a boxer a a. Frietas at most but bradley
For example would whoop your ass and he's champ so what's the point. Sorry if this is written bad my daughter is typing from my I junk I had to hit the road and get back to the wife
