Alright so being that I am Mexican unlike half of the responses here let me pick like a real Mexican. Of course Mexicans have got to do everything with their parents approval so my pick is as if my parents were watching. Rios- As a fighter has balls and has the Mexican never say die attitude so its not hard to cheer for him for us. Respect is a big thing for us. Not all of us are Cholos thugs. However Roach has been talking **** about Margarito none stop and with Rios being Margaritos friend now of course he has to say things that Margo might not be saying. As my parents would say. Es cargado pero no se deja. Ortiz- well he is the perfect kid. Well mannered pretty well spoken but lacks the one thing that defines a Mexican. The heart. When the going gets tough he needs to step it up and not be scared to get taken out. Margarito said it. Yo me muero en la ralla. If anything the Mexicans are all excited about Canelo because he is a mixture of both Rios and Ortiz. Well spoken and mannered and also has the heart. If i had to pick between the 2 i would say Rios. You just cant be a great fighter without the heart. Ortiz however is more talented.
both...but if they fight anytime soon, probably root for vic cause rios has really been letting his gums flap too much
Rios, but I have to say that in all honesty hes been kinda getting on my nerves a little bit. Hes not a 'favorite' of mine by any stretch, just someone I was starting to like but hes just gotten borderline annoying at the moment.... so I dont know. I dont DISlike Ortiz.... That being said I think Ortiz would dominate Rios, all feelings aside.
rios is a mouthy mutha****a kirk...but you know what, his style is gonna keep us watching.....now if he was mouthy, and fought like a ***** ass hoe, then he would get dis-owned by his fans quick...but believe me, the kid is gonna be a star but play the roll of the villain while he's at it.....can't wait to see him on the big stage, it's gonna bring back all them feroz, mayorga and morales days.....****ers that talk a lot of ****, but are also willing to kill or die for it.....:happy
Ortiz is definitly the more skilled fighter, but lacks that heart. Rios is an annoying "caga palo" who's always yapping, but he will not pull a "no mas". Not to mention he can take a shot. I see a fight between the two, being dominated by Ortiz in the early rounds with Rios slowly increasing the pressure. After much taunting, Rios will probably catch Ortiz with a good shot around the 8th forcing Ortiz to get on his bike. Ortiz will be exhausted from all the movements and footwork and will start mixing it up while trying to clinch. Rios will sense his prey weakening and go for the kill. I think Rios can take out Ortiz with his will, heart, and determination. This is like DLH vs Vargas, but the bully will win in this one. Brandon Rios is a *****, but he can fight. He fights with a style that fan like to watch. I would like to see Ortiz take it but, right now from what I'm seeing from him, I doubt it.
It seems like the majority non-Mexicans choose Ortiz and I will def agree with them. Ortiz seems like a chill do and also I have seen good improvements from him since his lost. His skills and ring smarts have taking a huge leap.
I like them both, but if they were to fight , I think ortiz takes it. Ortiz is bigger, faster, stronger, and better technically. It would be an easy fight IMO.
