The Good

Victor Ortiz- Kept at it while most had written him off, could have quit in the Berto fight. Also he is a very humble and respectful guy.

Nice!

I think I've discovered something about Ortiz that explains a lot. I don't think the kid is all that intelligent or aware of things and therefore seems to put his foot in his mouth or act goofy. But he isn't goofy, he's just not that smart.

And I don't care how intelligent fighters are outside the ring anyway. Heck if we have a 60 IQ deaf-mute who can fight? bring him on!

I like Ortiz a lot, seems like a great kid. And yea a smart fighter doesn't always mean a smart guy outside the ring.

Yeah he does. I didn't intend to insult him. It was a guess based on observation. People are good guys or not regardless of brainpower.

Marble-are the 60,000 Germans usually screaming. Most fights I watch they look like they are watching a symphony orchestra!!!

You forgot the rash of upsets we had!!! Watching Salido go into enemy territory and take out Lopez. Kirkland get destroyed by a guy supposed to be the sacrificial lamb. etc..... Upsets are great for the game and help us as fans stop shitting on so many matchups.

You also forgot:
Erik Morales-it is always great to see a great older fighter put on a suprising performance.

Also:
Showtime getting some of the sports biggest names, taking away HBO's monopoly

I NEVER forget! I merely leave things out to test you guys

Good ones all. I'd have lost a lot of Money on Morales being competitive. Great call on the upsets!

I dunno on the Germans. They sure seem to be cheering to me! Maybe it's Triumph of the Will flashbacks!
