Ortiz forced to have 2nd surgery on jaw. Ring return further postponed.

He made the right decision to not carry on fighting in his last fight, it took a strong man to make that decision because pride would say carry on and that would have been worse.

Agreed! If he had tried to carry on that might have been his last fight, any bone can be repaired if the damage isn't too bad.
Everybody has their own pain level, so if a fighter quits, I don't second guess them.

Yeah I don't hate on Ortiz for quitting this fight. The Maidana one, I get the criticism but gotta give the fighter the benefit of the doubt and as it proves, this was a pretty screwed up injury. The Maidana one he absolutely crucified himself in the post fight interview though.

I still want to see him vs Khan. Two undisciplined but skilled fighters who will go to war despite it not being in their best interests. That would be a tear up while it lasted.

Ortiz and Khan would be very well matched if Khan had anything but bone china in his jaw, but Ortiz would only have to land something half decent and the fight is over. Khan isn't about to handle him without getting tagged. I guess there's always the chance that Ortiz doesn't heal up properly though.
