Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!

Here is the link with two stories that mention Victor Ortiz.

2 very interesting topics are that he would like to fight in the famed Allen Field House and that a September bout with Mayweather is being planned. Enjoy it!

“My mom ends up leaving when I was 7 years old,” Ortiz said. “I came home from school and she was just gone. Without a word. No goodbye. Nothing. No fight between the parents or anything. Then about four years later, my dad did the same thing. I ended up with nothing. My life took a bad turn.” Ortiz said he saw his father for the first time since childhood a year-and-a-half ago. “He’s living a very sad life now,” said Ortiz, who lives and trains in Ventura, Calif. “I forgive him for everything and I just try to help him now. My mom, I met her six months ago. She was just sad, trying to talk to me and explain herself. I just told her not to worry, I grew up, became a man, put her son through high school and paid his college tuition, clothed him, fed him. I basically told her I did what was supposed to be your job. ‘Other than that, mom, I’m not mad at you. I don’t hate you. I thought I did for a very long time, but I don’t. People make mistakes and life goes on.’ She’s doing well, especially now that I reached out to her.”

That's some deep stuff. I like Victor and it's understandable he talks differently than other boxers, he just had it very tough.
