    Nielsen is struggling to catch up with current technology and viewing practices.

    It would be even worse, Hatton clinches alot, Ortiz doesn't, he would run into alot of Hard counters, and take a LONG beating before he was stopped.

    If Ortiz and Berto don't have a rematch, there are plenty of other options for them.

    - Bradley
    - Kahn
    - Mosley
    - Alvarez
    - Judah
    - Morales
    - Maidana
    - Mathysse
    - Clottey

    He would stop him, Floyd is not the puncher he was at 130, BUT his punches are still sharp, crisp, and thrown with pop. Ortiz is reckless and would get countered very hard repeatedly which would lead to him being KO'd IMO.

    a talented young fighter should not be rushed into fights with atg's like that, we need stars for the future, pac and floyd are going soon.

    Really great numbers, that bodes well for Victor's future too I imagine since it looks like he's a legit star.

    There were a surprising amount of Mexican fans at the fight who turned out for Ortiz, and no shortage of Mexican flags. It was definitely more packed than the Sergio Martinez bout earlier this year. There was a near fight between two groups of fans before the bout. Perhaps Ortiz is filling the void left behind by the aging Mexican boxers like Morales, Barrerra, and the Marquez brothers?

    Not everyone if you believed the odds makers. I was on record as saying I wouldn't consider this an upset. My only question was about Ortiz going up in weight.
