champs with broken jaws...

Abraham fought the full 12 with his jaw broken in 2 different spots, Ali went the distance with Norton with his jaw hanging off, sorry I've been one of the guys defending Ortiz from the get go but the kid keeps setting himself up for criticism and he's in the wrong business IMO he has all the talent in the world but he doesn't have the mentality or heart of a fighter, he basically fucked his career over IMO last night

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw him quit on his stool. Ortiz actually looked like he could have had Lopez out of their whenever he wanted really, at one point when he hit him behind the head it looked like Lopez actually wanted to quit, but Ortiz encouraged him by giving him some breathing space and backing off of him when he took a few shots. And then he just gave up when he damaged his jaw. Fact is he was up on the scorecards and if he'd just boxed smart for a few more rounds he would have won and been set up for his big pay day against Canelo. But that was never in his mind. As soon as he was hurt he was looking for a way out, and that's the bottom line - he just doesn't have the right mentality to break into that elite group of boxers, though he does seem to have the talent, so it's a shame.
