    I hope Ortiz punishes Rios, too. But after his performance the other night, Rios would eat him alive in the middle to late rounds.

    Man, Ortiz is all bark no bite. He quit against Maidana. Rios will get in to Ortiz' head and that will be the end of it for Ortiz.

    I don't like Rios and maybe that's what Rios is going for. To be hated and to be the real villain in the sport. Rios will most likely beat Ortiz via TKO or KO. I don't even see a UD or a SD.

    Ortiz should be careful, he did not look like he had a real answer for the overhand right, he improved by closing distance right away and turning his opponent/staying inside vs Peterson, the rios that fought Peterson will give Ortiz a whole lotta trouble. If he stays calm like he did against Peterson, he will destroy Ortiz with ease round 7 or 8,

    with the bad blood and all the build up i see rios will more than likely have so much hate for Ortiz, that he will be much too excited and wreckless, that Ortiz will take advantage and punish the kid, This fight has fight of the decade written all over it, as long as Ortiz doesnt quit first

    No idea what he was doing against Peterson. Could have knocked the guy out in the third but didn't...

    Rios is to much of a man for Ortiz. He'd eat his shots, probably laugh and smile, and then proceed to beat Ortiz up inside. Ortiz of course will go in a shell and not know what to do again.

    I know Rios didn't set the world on fire with his last performance, but that's just how he fights. He reminds me a lot of Michael Spinks, he feels out his opponents in the first two rounds, and then you can visibly see him throw more combination's, put more on his shots, and up the pace significantly. He did the same thing against Peterson, he's a slow starter but once he gets into those middle rounds then he's a force to be reckoned with. He's got more ability than given credit for, he throws nice combination's with good technique, and appears to have power in both hands. Never seen him hurt, either. He's a bad style match up for Ortiz, he'd most likely beat him up.

    hey man give the credit to peterson, watch the fight again, he was game, even after being knocked down twice, he didnt break down like he did against rios, he was 100% in it to win it all fight, starting flicking that quick jab out, and hard too! floom floom! setting his overhand right up, i was impressed, so mad props to peterson make that a draw but Ortiz was robbed of the w, no doubt that was a win for victor

    Peterson and Rios have noting in common. Ortiz performance was horrible. The reason for that was the very good defense of Peterson (god Ortiz landed only 2 jabs!!!!!). Rios is another animal he will be there to take some hard shots from Ortiz. And he won't be the bigger man for the first time in his life. I think that Ortiz beats Rios but I saw a very limited fighter the other day. Ortiz should add something to his arsenal he looked so predictable against Peterson.

    I heard the people screaming from the craws be intelligent like crazy. He got afraid not to make the same mistake as he did against Maidana.

    Really? Anyone would have thought they were screaming, "THROW PUNCHES WHEN YOU'RE QUITE CLEARLY OUT OF RANGE SO THAT PETERSON CAN COUNTER THE **** OUT OF YOU AND HIT YOU WITH HOME RUN SHOTS, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN".

    I hope this fight happens soon. Its losing its luster now that Ortiz's stock is plummetting.

    ortiz has to finish it early if he wants an easy night

    or else he'll start fapping around and rios's pressure would get to him

    interesting fight, rios looks like he can easily make light welter too
