Sounds great...Maidana will be a real test for Ortiz or even might be too much for him....

Ortiz looks future P4P to me. I'm so impressed with him. This is a very good test for him but one I expect him to win. Kotelnik or Khan next.

Wow! Great matchup

I like Ortiz in this match but Maidana will definitely test him.

I think this will be won on who lands 1st.
Both guys have solid power.

I believe Ortiz is more polished so I think that gives him the edge.
Should be a really good matchup.

This is the first step of pushing Ortiz towards Urango's belt, before taking the remaining belts of Bradley/whoever has them by then & setting up a "superfight for kids" with Amir Khan in about 18 months to 2 years, should both still be champions, which I'm sure Golden Boy & Frank Warren will be keen to ensure.
