A lot of young stars fighting this weekend

Ref should break quicker IMO, Maidana likes to clench the arm and throw to the body and the back of the head.

Agreed; about to the point of taking a point.

On an unrelated note Xaduboxer is banned permanently. Breaking news I just saw from Saddo.

If that round was 10 seconds longer, Ortiz would've been on his ass again.

I have Maidana winning two of the last three rounds.

[OumaFan]

He's gonna stop it?

I don't love Ortiz' chin but Maidana is heavy handed.

Good I'm sick of that troll!

This is a brilliant fight I don't want it to end

[OumaFan]

Ortiz not reacting well. Don't know if its the cut or not.

[OumaFan]

Well credit to Maidana, he is kind of dirty but he wanted it more.

Ortiz didn't react well. Doesn't bode well for him.

[Kel]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

[LEGION]

Live and learn Ortiz Maidana is crude but effective tonight; there were alot of just barely missed right hands from him all night; could have ended earlier. Ortiz can beat his guy though; he'll be losing sleep tonight.

IMO Ortiz is looking awesome so far, showing heart, skill, and from the huge shot he just took, a good chin as well

i'm ok with the stoppage cause Ortiz was getting nailed, but what's up with the blatant blow to the back of Ortiz's head and not a word from the ref

Are you talking about in the clinches or when Ortiz bent down with his head down? I don't blame Maidana for the latter, if a fighter's going to do that he can't be surprised if he gets hit in the back of the head.

thing is that the shot was just as bad as the Barrera punch on Marquez, he hit him downward directly to the back of the head, i don't care who it is, that's dirty, and the ref should have stepped in, the punching in the clinch, well both did it, and it had more to do with the type of fight than anything, but the last shot from Maidana to the back of Ortiz's head was a bit too much

It wasn't intentional and it was Ortiz fault for bending down like that IMO. I don't think he meant to hit him behind the head, he was in the process of throwing a flurry when it happened.
