    Amazing. Really looking forward to this one. Canelo wins on points, methinks.

    I wouldn't miss this fight, but somewhat unhappy because Canelo and his team has yet to face at least a top 10 opponent currently rank at 154. Ortiz is a good fight, but lets not forget this guy not to long ago was fighting at 140. I'll prefer guys like Lara or even Rosado to be getting this opportunity.

    Good fight. And perfectly sets up a fight with Mayweather if Canelo wins.

    If Ortiz wins I see him fighting Cotto next.

    Would the marquez morales fight be on the undercard?

    The Ginger chops down The Tree at some point between rounds 5 and 9. Canelo by TKO. Should be a very fun fight for however long it lasts though.

    I can't see any other outcome except an Alvarez win. He's too good overall for Ortiz and he has more experience fighting at 154. I see Victor charging him and trying to force the action and getting the jab, straight right hand combination in his face all night.

    Canelo UD or maybe a late stoppage.

    I wanted to see those two fight for so many years when they were both at the top of their games but now it just wouldn't be significant. Morales is almost done, I hate saying that because of what he's done over the years but its tre.

    Great fight til Vic gets KTFO'd or quits. He's got the athletic edge and speed edge....I'd say they're even as far as power but mentally he's not in the same league as Canelo. Alvarez is a smart fighter and will pick his shots beautifully after some rough rounds vs Vic. Cheering for Vic but I gotta go with Canelo by TKO 8 after riding out the storm.....upset meter is pretty high though with Vics power and athleticism

    Canelo by stoppage. Should be a great fight while it lasts.

    Has it occurred to anyone that they are not in the same weight class. How many times has Ortiz fought at 154. My goodness, any advantage that Canelo can get huh? They need to stop holding his hand and let him fight a top 3 junior middleweight.

    Chavez Jr. vs Sexy Serg as a main even and Canelo vs Ortiz as co-main event would be a monster PPV card!


    Too bad it won't happen though.


    Doesn't hurt to dream I guess.
