Canelo to face Ortiz

[arcanum26]

canelo didn't impress me in his fight with mosely. he looked overly tentative against a guy who showed almost no offence, no aggression. it was hard to watch him hold back the whole fight knowing he should have been able to end it anytime he wanted.

the fight could be interesting if ortiz comes out swinging like he did against mayweather.

Thought the Mosley version in the Canelo fight was tons better than the one that showed up against Manny. He got wobbled I think twice, but he never lost composure and contrary to what you're saying, I think he showed spurts of measured offense.

i'm not really concerned with mosely...he's retired.

i'm concerned with how poor canelo's showing was. didn't show much confidence.

Big props to GBP for getting this fight done.
There matchmaking has been phenomenal recently.
I'm leaning towards Ortiz on this one.

Yeah, but what I meant was I thought Mosley's performance was the reason why Canelo didn't look all that spectacular as we thought he would be. So either we underestimated Mosley that night, or overestimated Canelo. I'm going with my first assumption.

I have to disagree. I was impressed by Canelo's composure after being cut and think he will handle Ortiz easily. Early KO for the cinnamon kid.

Agreed...having a cut and being in vs a veteran fighter like Mosley is a difficult ask for anyone. Shane sat on his punches and couldn't budge Canelo, I doubt Ortiz will do better.

I just see this as a total mismatch and Canelo will out muscle and land at will vs Victor....no disrespect, but psychologically Canelo has the big advantage, size wise he's bigger, and he's not yet tasted professional defeat....I'm calling TKO 5 Canelo over Ortiz.

They are both 5,9" and Alvarez only weighs 3 pounds heavier on fight night. Shane isnt a puncher anymore, hes too concerened with lasting the distance. As long as Ortiz wins his next fight I think Golden Boy will end up regreting putting him in with Ortiz.

[Leighton]

I think Conelo will win. I think it will be his shot accuracy that will beat Ortiz in the end. But very good fight and they both have a shot. Acuracy and technique with Conelo and Power with Ortiz. Ortiz has been in deep water and came out on top before so thats on his side.
They both have about the same defence and indurance in my opinion.

Mathew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes and Shane Mosley would not hear the last bell against Ortiz

I think we have another Bute v Froch on our hands.
