Ortiz has now fought 2 times since 2011. Wow , a real barn burner schedule.
For the record I think Ortiz faked the knockdown looking for a disqualification.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Ortiz is a prizefighter who fights for prize money and for his own interest. He's not a soildier nor a policeman who is obligated to put their lives on the line in order to protect.
You look at ORtiz' resume and dude doesn't duck anybody. ORtiz is a down ass individual.
Looking back he has fought hard and gritty. But I think when pushed to a limit (and I realize we can say that about any fighter) he seems he will fold. Here is what he said after taking a FAIR amount of punishment against Maidana:
I'm young and I don't feel I DESERVE to take so much punishment.
wtfWe never heard Joe Frazier or Evander Holyfield or Roberto Duran or Carlos Monzon say such stuff. He has the right to his opinion, but it doesnt really sound like a truly dedicated passionate fighter. Maidana hit him a few good rights and uppercuts, big shit. Norton/Holmes/Pryor/Leonard/Duran/Gatti/YOU NAME THE FIGHTER HERE-- took that amount of shots in the 1st round of their 1st pro fight.
It was a rather odd comment, at age 23, to make really. And seeing he only fought 2 times since the Mayweather fight, he doesnt look very into the sport of boxing. IMO
Im a mild supporter of Victor Ortiz the fighter and it's not fair to knock on the Lopez fight. I actually think he showed heart in that fight.
Him retiring from a broken jaw does not qualify as a quit job and anybody who has had their jaw broken would understand this.
Ya expect a fighter to continue fighting with a broken fuckin jaw SMH ya serious? Boxers need to watch out for their own well being and future because nobody else will.
Why should Ortiz put his life on the line? Im not doctor but I do know that it's extremely dangerous to continue fighting with a broken jaw.
Fuck the fans and the couch potatoes whose never boxed in their motherfuckin lives talking all that bullshit..
Though millions of people have dangerous jobs, I don't think anyone would call them quitters or bitches if they decided to quit their job.
