And those same two openings were there all night, as Ortiz doesn't seem inclined to learn.
He gets all his weight to his right side and pushes that left hand out there- honestly, a good fighter would be torn between countering his left with hooks all night, or stepping to the right, or simply pulling back, and blasting him with right hands. His defense is non existant. Putting him in with Mayweather would be a mis-match of epic proportions, and, shot or not, I think Mosley would smash him worse than he did Margarito.
Two checks cashed in on two flawed investments was lastnight I believe. Ortiz payed off and I really think he'll get Mayweather. Where he'll get badley exploited and go down swinging. Mayweather nabs his trinket and he and Manny continue to have a staring contest, should Manny take care of Mosley. I dont see Ortiz or Berto improving greatly on gameplans just Ortiz scrapped back from the brink and was the better fighter. He earned it.
