Who do you think will win this am thinking Campbell has has been to inactive and not sure about him at 140, but Ortiz doesn't fill you with any confidence after reading this interview. I like the odds of 4/6 for Ortiz though I thought he would be much shorter:
: How has everything gone in preparation and what can we expect to see from you on Saturday night? "I'm well prepared so I don't know, it's going to be a great fight and I'm ready. As far as I'm concerned I'm well prepped for this fight so it should be fun."
: What are your thoughts on Nate Campbell as a fighter? What weaknesses do you see in him that you feel you'll be able to exploit come fight time?
Victor Ortiz: "I'm going to take it as it comes, so on Saturday night, I'll let you know everything."
: Based on what you've seen from him on film, what do you think of Nate Campbell as a fighter?
: "He's a tough fighter. He's obviously a former world champion for a reason. It's boxing and there's tough fights all around. I can't judge him based on what I see. I have to go in there on Saturday night and judge him for myself."
: What are you hoping a victory over Nate Campbell leads to? What does a victory over Nate Campbell mean to you?
: "Obviously a victory over anyone means a lot, but I'm not looking past Nate Campbell. I'm here to enjoy and be focused on Nate and Nate only until the fight is over."
: Nate is the biggest name you've faced since your only loss to Marcos Maidana. Are you looking at this fight as a statement maker to show that you're of the elite level at 140?
: "No, I don't believe I have to show the world anything. Everybody is liable to their own opinion, so I don't have to say much on that. Like I said, I'm well prepped for this fight and he's not only elite fighter that I've fought as far as that goes."
: So are you basically saying that regardless of what's happened in the past you don't feel the need to prove yourself to anybody.Is this just about the better man on Saturday night to you? I'm just trying to be clear
: "Exactly. I don't think there's anything I have to prove. As long as I'm happy with myself and know I'm doing alright, that's all that matters to myself. "
: Other than victory do you have a prediction?
: "No. I'm here to box and that's it."
: Is there anybody out there at 140 that you're hoping to mix it up with in the near future?
: "I'm sure I can let you know all about it after the fight."
: We'll have plenty to talk about after the fight. Until then, closing thoughts for the fans?
: "Thank you very much for all of the support and love, or hate. Either or, I'm still thankful and I'm well prepped."
