Manuel Ortiz Discussion Thread

Well i didn't wanna mention it, but sorry yeah i read that bit, couldn't believe it, right after i met him as well! Saw him the other day and told him that i asked you his name and you got right back to me. Seriously he smiled off that. Madman though, telling me and my mate about some of his old ko's. He told me Joe Lally hit hard but he hit harder.

I never mentioned the Mexico thing to him, ****, i will though.

 

Suppose if you don't do it you'll never know.

 

Haha, it's alright mate, i would nowhere near have made it, that's why it's not a problem, if i was a wasted talent or something then you'd be right, but no i'm just a crazy ass fan! So it's all good.

 

If you ever go pro i'll come and see you, defo.

 

atsch *cough* typical scouser

i know i think im good enough. and i am dedicated. Bet there guys like me who have turned pro and did good you never know.

Was your dad a good amatuer?

 

i could never think like that i have to see a fight then copy all the moves, im only happy when training

fan base already, but i wont fight in Liverpool probably get my gloves nicked.

if i do go pro it iwll be in London

 

I jsut bought this book today called Cubs- a new history, when i read your post just now i thought 'wow we got the same book', but this one's by a guy named Richard Gott. Fuk i don't half get obsessed with new topics do i??!

 

you thinking of becomeing a scout leader

 

And the only one to beat him in his prime was Willie Pep! :good From 1942-1926 Manuel Ortiz suffered just one loss.

 

Basically GP, i only started boxing at age 16 and had my first fight at 17, if i was ever gunna give it a real go, it had to be earlier.

Anyway, on a serious note, i mean it, one of the lads is always game to come and see fights with me, so i will come and see you if you turn pro.

 

:rofl:rofl

You fuking tit! Think i'll have a load of scousers waiting outside the arena of your first fight for that, twat!

Kidding, funny guy

 

decent. I started boxing at 13 wish i started earlier

i always find it hard to get mates to go boxing but me and 2 mates are going to Spencer Fearons show in London we got free ringside tickets from spencer.

:rofl:rofl

whats a scouser going to do knick my watch

 

That's right, Willie Pep the Featherweight beat Manuel Ortiz the Bantamweight, in what was referred to as (from first hand accounts) a very complacent performance on Ortiz's part, especially considering how he'd supposedly given Pep a working over in a sparring session previously. So much so that Pep was stated as saying he'd never like to meet Ortiz in the ring. Interesting stuff.

 

Very nice, did i tell you i got my pic took with David Haye at his show in Liverpool, down to earth you know, really, hanging round after the show and that with us commoners.

Nar we could nick your pride though with a brutal beatdown

 

I believe we all knew this was coming when SQ made his post, come on SQ, you just let him have that so easy
