Victor Ortiz is a quiter

[jon09]

Victor is in the wrong sport if he does not want to get hurt. Maidana vs Torres would be awesome.

[Onix]

He's seems like a smart guy and well spoken. Hopefully he can get a job as a real estate agent or something.

why hate on the guy, I hate this shit fans deeming a guy a quiter or some such nonsense. It's boxing, they get hurt, he got taged hard numerous times, and like he said he'd like to be able to speak in old age. I respect guys whom aren't to proud to throw in the towel, nothing wrong with that. I like boxing but hate to see anyone ever hurt in the sport, and guys usually get hurt cause they're to proud to quit or cause the ref or corner aren't throwing in the towel. Good fight, nothing wrong with ortiz's decision those were some bombs he took

[Jesse James]

I can respect if he doesn't want to end up like Ali, I just thought it was strange when he said he doesn't think he deserves to take this punishment. wtf? You've fought 25 fights and just now decided that boxing is too rough for you? That was not even that horrible of a beating anyway. It seems like he's saying boxing is only worth it if you never lose.

It's not a knock on Vic as the kid is obviously humble. It's just the prefight hype his hardship in life and so forth made my expectations higher. He also looks like a BIG junior welter.

UPSET of the year and may'be Fight of the year

[LEGION]

Was disappointed in performance and attitude; oh well find another job if heart only resides when you win.

[mexirican]

An exciting fight with a disappointing end. For growing up with a tough upbringing, Ortiz didn't show the heart a Mexican fighter typically has. Especially when fighting as the headliner in the town that supports you, He said he didn't want to go out on his back, well to me it would have been more respectable than turning his back and shaking his head. We've all seen fighters go on with cuts worst than that (Cotto fought 9 rds. with Colotty) Ortiz must dig deep and find the passion that got him recognized

[OumaFan]

I'm not gonna jump on the guy, but his interview called into question how much he's really into this IMO.

[generalbulldog]

Gerald McClellan didn't know when to quit against Nigel Benn. He's only partially deaf, blind, in a wheel chair, with brain damage and struggling to pay his medical bills. And he also had Nigel Benn helped him raise money to pay for his medical bills in one of those fundraisers.


The fans that were calling McClellan so brave in fighting to get brain damage sure as hell didn't give a damn about what happened to him after that bout with Benn. Victor should look out for himself first, not the fan's lust to see him get brain damage.

[SweetPea]

It's 100% fair to question Ortiz's heart after what happened last night. He laughed his way thru the entire postfight interview and didn't seem to grasp at all that he had just quit in a big fight that could have a lasting effect on his career.

He might not have the stomach to be a top fighter.

He pretty much said this sport isn't for me last night, I am ok with that. He got beat up he didn't like. If the kid is out I am ok with that and so should everyone else

[Kev]

It will be tough to come back from that now, his future opponents will be motivated by that and will try and make him quit again.

He reminds me a lot of Juan Diaz, great skills and lethal if you let him bully you but questionable punch resistance and vulnarable when bullied back.

I still want to see him fight again though, exciting fighter and he's still just a baby at 22.

If he wants out, that's fine.... it's his life.

But since he's been discussed as a top prospect and future champion, it's 100% OK to question his heart and toughness and talk about how his actions last night might indicate that he won't become the top guy people were predicting him to be.

9 times out of 10 those are the bandwagon fans, and seriously that's something that irks me, i'm not a huge fan of any fighter in specific right now, but i'm a fan of many, let me correct that, i'm not an unbiased fan of ANY fighter, hate all this turning on the guy and kicking him when they're down, but quickly get on the bandwagon when they have a huge win in the future, that kind of shit is utter nonsense
