Dont let HBO's clever 24/7 editing make you think Ortiz has a chance!

    Who here, with a brain, thinks Ortiz has a real chance?

    I think Ortiz has a slight chance to be fair.

    I don't think Ortiz will get knocked out, but I think Mayweather can punish him enough to make him quit again!

    They do this? They should have done it for the Pacquiao fights too, maybe make out that he was distracted by being a congressman or something.

    I think he will give it a good go and tbh that's all anyone can ask. I don't see him winning for quite obvious reasons. HBO are hardly gonna go ''Ortiz is a joker who rides bikes and skateboards with his gay brother Temo. Whilst his trainer drives Cola around all day. Ortiz practices how to cry when asked about upbringing''

    Thats what the series is supposed to do though, get people who wudnt usually watch it into thinking it is gonna be a close fight. It has been one of the worst series of 24/7 yet.

    All the previous 24/7s promoted a fairly even fight, so why would this one be any different?

    They can do whatever they like to promote this, I'll not be staying up to watch it on Primetime no matter what.

    I always fall for the ploys of 24/7. I knew Hatton had know business in the ring with Pac until I watched 24/7, then made a complete idiot of myself telling everyone pre-fight that hatton looked good and sharp and his technique looks good. 6 Minutes into the fight and I'm the laughing stock. Also told everyone Mayweather would bully Marquez, then I watched 24/7 and gave Marquez a chance!! I shouldn't watch them but I cant help myself, only now I stick to my prediciton pre 24/7 rather than letting my heart rule my decision lol. Take it as nothing more than entertainment and its a good series to see 'behind closed doors' of a fight camp.

    Na, why would a boxing fan want to watch the best boxer of his generation fight?

    :huh Doesn't know how to deliver power? He's knocked down every one of his opponents.

    I'm not saying I think Ortiz will win, far from it, but it's still a decent test for Floyd. Biggest test since Hatton IMO. Still think Floyd wins quite easily though because Ortiz isn't that good but it'll still be quite interesting.
