WHO NEEDS YOU THEN! I know Ortiz don't....:hi::hi: I'm pumped i get to see all three fights tonight!!!
he's gonna make a great replacement. i just really hope he doesn't go right in and fight pacquiao. i want to see him defend his title a few times at least before he fights the be(a)st.
I wish Cotto was still around 147, Ortiz - Cotto at 150 maybe? Love to see this matchup but i'd prefer not to see Ortiz in catchweight bull**** straight away.
I want Khan Ortiz, a lot of khan fans were laughing at oriz as a suggested opponent, after the McCloskey disgrace and ortiz posting a win that pisses over anything Khan has acheived would be interesting now!!!
Wonderful fight. Ortiz showed strength, heart, condition, and yes, a chin, because he took some serious bombs. In fact, both guys showed wonderful heart. There were spots in this fight in which both could have been KO'd, but they hung tough and fought back. Those were some brutal knockdowns. Wow. Ortiz though was so strong and just a work horse. Berto couldn't handle the pace and strength. Andre relied on landing the big bomb, and although he pulled it off the times he dropped Victor, he was not able to sustain enough offensive output and ultimately that was the difference. Ortiz was so much more consistent. I don't think Andre was ever the same after the 1st round knockdown, but credit him for putting up a valiant effort. Other than working more consistently and not loading up, I would have advised Andre to work more uppercuts and body shots, given how much Ortiz ducked his face forward. Big miss by Andre in that respect.
EXCELLENT fight, credit to both fighters. FOTY candidate. That round where they traded knockdowns was unreal.
