    :patsch He opened up plenty against JMM, but he was in with a master boxer who knew all the tricks of the trade, he fought a bigger, harder puncher in Mosley and opened up quite a bit and that's after he was rocked. Ortiz didn't learn anything from the Maidana fight he nearly got KO'd in a fight he was dominating, his low ring IQ, will get him in trouble.

    Who? Anyway, whoever that is, it isn't him. The first one that pops up is "Ortiz and Lopez" and the second one is "Ortiz vs Berto."

    Lord help your soul :patsch I presume you know YouTube kindly watch the Marquez fight once again and tell me if Floyd really opening himself up. He had Marquez rocked a few times but backed down instead of pressing and going for the kill...

    Watch the 10th round he went for the KO, JMM was just too cagey something Ortiz is not, I see him eating alot of Hard Counters like Mosley BUT since he has no where near the durability of SSM he will be stopped on accumulation. I don't see why a stoppage would be so unlikely or surprising given how Ortiz being Sloppy and reckless has gotten himself hurt before.

    Boom Boom retied at age 24 with most of his entire $12 Million in career earnings intact. Does that make him an idiot?

    Ortiz is going to be a big draw if he can continue to fight like he did against Berto.............................

    Exactly. I don't think Ortiz is going to be doing 1.5 million PPV buys any time soon, but the guy has all the makings of a legit PPV star.

    Amazing news. Though I'm sure I spotted empty seats in the crowd, hope I'm wrong.
