My thoughts on the Maidana vs Ortiz fight..

[belakbox]

I have no problems at all with Ortiz quitting when he did. I think he was smart to do so, avoid punishment and fight smarter another day. He's only 22.

As for the interview, who is in their right mind right after a crushing loss. Give the kid some time to think and you'll he'll be back with more focus.

Great fight and congratulations to Maidana for the exciting win.

I think the thing that bothered me was how happy Ortiz seemed after the fight.

This may very well be the relief that he felt after being freed from the tremendous pressure placed on his young shoulders by his promotions outfit. GoldenBoy nowadays are frantically scratching for the next ticket, the PPV star, and Victor was it in their minds. Little fundamental snaffus here and there, and this is now what we have, a possible lost future superstar for the sport.

They've bit off a tad bit too much to chew on the shoulders of the 22 year old rising star, Victor Ortiz, but not because of the young pugilist's lack of skills, but moreso by the haste by which they got to things in facilitating the PPV date.

If were talkin' GBP vs Arum, on the promo side of things, Arum is showing the seasoning that gets the upperhand over a promising, but now perceived "green" upstart in the GBP. LOL!
