Every man has a breaking point, mentally and physically and a tolerance level or degree of will to push on. Each has to live with what follows. I honestly think it all hit him in the locker room on camera when he sunk down and was glaring in the mirror. He looked broken, jaw and mind.

On permanent damage etc. Where was his concern for permanent damage when he was hitting Lopez in the base of the skull or ramming his head into Mayweathers face. I don't think a fighter can enter with that kind of mentality at the front of his mind and expect to be at the top of his game. If it's always on the mind he may want to consider another field. I'd imagine trading flush shots round after round has to do far more damage in the long run than anything on the surface.


I don't remember this being mentioned very much here. As with the Mayweather headbutt, this was a blatant, completely unacceptable foul. I was amazed and disappointed that the ref did not immediately take a point away... maybe even two. Ortiz certainly doesn't seem to have the mental or emotional makeup necessary to be in the ring. And yes, he probably needs to consider another line of work.
